Welcome to the society for the protection and care of animals on Gozo. Gozo SPCA was founded back in 1976 by a few people who were dedicated to improving the welfare of small animals on the island. Initially, we operated as a branch of the SPCA (Malta) but now we are a completely separate organisation. We work closely with the Government Department Animal Welfare Gozo and the animal rescue organisations in Malta, however, we are the only charity animal rescue organisation on Gozo. A clinic was set up in the premises that are used today as a busy strays and re-homing centre. The society works closely with the island veterinarians and all the animals are given regular health checks.
Please visit our Facebook page for the latest updates and more details of the animals we currently have available for adoption.

Each day our team of volunteers help with the day-to-day care of the animals at the Centre, involving cleaning, feeding, exercising and training the animals. We always welcome volunteer care helpers at the centre and particularly dog walkers morning and late afternoon. If you have some time to spare email us or telephone us on +356 2155 3769 or 9947 5199.
We are continually seeking foster homes to provide shelter for dogs that would otherwise be left to roam the streets.
As a foster home, you have the opportunity to provide temporary shelter to a homeless dog in need of a permanent home. The duration of the stay may vary from a few days to several weeks or months. During their stay, you are responsible for providing care and attention to the dog, including bathing, grooming, dental hygiene, nail trimming, and tick removal.
The transition to a foster home can be challenging for some dogs. Many dogs may have never experienced a comfortable bed, daily walks, or the love and attention of a caring owner. As a result, it is essential to provide a calm and supportive environment that caters to the dog’s specific needs, including peace and quiet and attention to areas of concern.
If you are interested in fostering email us or telephone us on +356 2155 3769 or 9947 5199.
