The SPCA of Brazoria County is a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to leading Brazoria County to a time when there are no more homeless pets in our community.

Founded in 1974, the SPCA-BC has operated the Southern Brazoria County Animal Shelter since 2003. The Shelter is an open admission facility serving the Cities of Freeport, Clute, and Lake Jackson, Texas.

​More and more shelters are recognizing the power of photography and how a great picture can compel a viewer to visit a shelter and a bad picture can scare them away. Shelters are also realizing that higher quality pictures give the impression that the shelter posting them has better pets, a better facility or just plain cares more about their animals than shelters that don’t.

Through a special grant made possible by Purina, Shelter Me Photography (SMP) will be at Second Chance Center for Animals on Thursday, March 2nd to provide professional photography training for shelter staff and volunteers to take better pictures of our adoptable pets.

All volunteers and staff are invited to participate in this half day workshop - free of charge - and then work with the professional photographers hands-on with our shelter pets!  

SMP has been photographing shelter pets longer than any other shelter-photography organization in the United States.
