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 always looking for foster homes since it means we can take in more dogs to SPCA that would otherwise be roaming the streets.
As a foster home, you open your home to a homeless dog waiting for a permanent home. It can be anything from a couple of days to a longer time. You take care of the dog as if it were your own and bathe, comb, brush teeth, cut nails, pick ticks, etc. as needed.
The first time in a foster home can be stressful. Many dogs have not had access to chew bones, a soft place to sleep, daily walks or someone to give them attention. You must offer the dog peace and quiet and support in the areas it needs.
If you are interested in fostering email us or telephone us on +356 2155 3769 or 9947 5199.
