Love Doesn’t Discriminate Fund
Here at the RISPCA we love ALL animals!
Even those that need a little extra support, medical attention, and kindness. And we want to make it easier for them to find FOREVER homes.

Please call ahead to schedule the surrender of your pet: (401) 438-8150, x0.
Animal Cruelty Investigations
The RISPCA is the only non-profit animal rescue organization in the state that is able to investigate animal cruelty cases. To report abuse, contact our Law Enforcement Agent, Earl Newman, at cruelty@rispca.com or (401) 438-8150, x2.
We are not an emergency response agency, so please call the police if an animal is in imminent peril.
Training Resources
Your one stop shop for information and links to resources for pet owners including:
Spay/Neuter, low-cost vet services, boarding, emergency vet services, F.A.Q.’s about pet care, and more.
Pet Loss Support
There is no right or wrong way to grieve your companion. Each person experiences loss in his or her own way.
It’s hard to know when a beloved pet is ready to pass, and sometimes we wait too long. “Letting Go” is an excellent article by our shelter director, Dr. E.J. Finocchio, about knowing when it’s time.
Humane Education
The Rhode Island SPCA is excited to offer the following programs geared toward elementary and middle school children. To schedule a virtual classroom visit with our Humane Educators and some of our animals please send an email to HumaneEducation@rispca.com.
