The Ulster Society Prevention Cruelty to Animals (USPCA) is the second oldest Animal Welfare Charity in the world. Founded in 1836 as the Belfast SPCA it’s first priority was to challenge the abuse of working horses, a daily occurrence on the Victorian city streets. 

The purpose of our founders to ‘Prevent Cruelty and Relieve Suffering’ remains as the driving force for our Charitable activities. We offer a range of charitable services which includes, our Social Re-homing and Pet Pledge Scheme, the USPCA Animal Hospital, Pet Food Parcels and Animal Cruelty and Crime Investigations. 

The USPCA receives no government funding and therefore relies on voluntary donations from the public. It is through the kindness and generosity of people that thankfully we are still here to protect all animals in Northern Ireland.  At the USPCA our love and passion for animals reflects greatly in each employees work, from our vets to our volunteers and this is something we are extremely proud of.
