Who We Are

Animal suffering is one of the biggest challenges facing our society today. From climate change and cruelty to pet homelessness and overpopulation, we are tackling both global and local issues.
The Southeastern Animal Control Association (SACA) hosts annual conferences to educate and support those in the field of animal welfare. We are committed to making a difference every single day, 365 days a year. Since 1972, our association has been dedicated to improving the lives of both domestic and native animals. We believe it is every person’s responsibility to care for the creatures around us, big and small.
There are many ways to help—find yours today!
