At the San Francisco SPCA we envision a world in which the love people share with animals uplifts humanity to a state of greater compassion. On a spring day in 1868, San Francisco banker James Sloan Hutchinson caught sight of two men dragging a terrified hog along the rough cobblestone street. Appalled, Hutchinson stepped in to stop the cruelty and rescue the hog. The incident crystallized Hutchinson’s concern over widespread animal abuse, and he soon rallied 15 like-minded citizens to found the San Francisco SPCA. Since then the SF SPCA has become one of San Francisco’s most enduring and respected institutions. It is a national leader in saving homeless cats and dogs and working to end animal abandonment. We all share a common passion here at the San Francisco SPCA. Not just for the animals saved, but for their companions and those in our community who then foster, volunteer, or adopt. Whether affected by illness, injury, or homelessness, the animals we help need our expertise and compassion. You could wake up every day knowing you’ll be “doing good work” in a fulfilling environment where no two days are the same. The SF SPCA has been at the forefront of animal welfare for 150+ years, and Vision 2030 is our plan to positively impact 5+ million lives over the next decade. We are looking for animal-loving professionals to help us turn this vision into reality!

Joining hands to celebrate AAPI and Mental Health Awareness Month, our team shared a beautiful event together! It was quite an experience – from appreciating Asian art and savoring authentic Asian teas to engaging in mindful activities like origami and journaling. Topping it off was a mesmerizing tea ceremony led by a tea master that truly embodied the spirit of togetherness. A moment of communal wellbeing, embracing diverse cultures and bonding with colleagues – a peaceful and precious retreat right in our workspace. #AAPI #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth #WorkplaceWellbeing #sfspca Looking for the workplace where you belong? 👉 https://lnkd.in/dtZ6J8Wc
