A Century of Caring
Our journey began in 1906 when Ellin Prince Speyer, along with her fris, founded the Women's Auxiliary to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals ASPCA. Driven by their belief that certn aspects of e work were uniquely suited for women, they initiated activities like the Work Horse Parade in 1907 on Memorial Day. This event med to encourage streetcar drivers and other horse owners to improve animal care, attracting thousands of attees and laying a strong foundation for future eavors.
Building upon this early success, the Women's Auxiliary established a dispensary and outpatient clinic in 1909, offering medical treatment for animals whose owners could not afford it. The clinic opened its doors on the Lower East Side, central to New York City's largest immigrant population in 1910. Volunteer veterinarians provided services alongside contributions from Auxiliary members, donors, and volunteers.
Today, we are proud to offer compassionate care around the clock, every day of the year.
