The Society, a registered charity, is the principal animal welfare organisation in Northern Ireland and
it's views are widely regarded by the Media, Local Government and Members of the Legislative Assembly
as the definitive voice on all matters relating to the welfare of animals.

The Society founded in 1836 is the second oldest animal welfare organisation in the world, preceded only
by the RSPCA. Throughout it's history the objectives of the USPCA have never changed, they remain to this day;

'Promoting the Welfare of all Animals Through Education and Enforcement'.

This website exists to give its visitors an insight into the work of the USPCA and an outline of our vision for the future.
