Since the doors opened in the mid-’80s, the SPCA Thrift Store has been the definition of shopping with a purpose. The store’s journey began as a haven where locals could discover incredible deals while making a meaningful impact on the lives of homeless shelter animals at the SPCA.
In 2019, the store found its location in the Mitchell Shopping Center and ever since, the community's response to this boutique-style thrift store has been nothing short of extraordinary. Despite its relocations over the years, the store's mission has remained the same: to serve as the premier destination Where Shopping Saves Lives. But that’s more than just a slogan. The proceeds generated from this thrift store are funneled directly back into providing care, treatment and shelter for the animals housed at the SPCA Albrecht Center For Animal Welfare.
As the shelter continues to grapple with operating well beyond its capacity for dogs and cats, the need for community assistance and support has never been more crucial. While the need for adopters and foster families remains high, we understand that taking on the responsibility of a new fur-child is something that can be hard for many. For those unable to do so, the SPCA Thrift Store offers an alternative avenue to make a significant and direct impact.
And we have the perfect opportunity for you to do just that at this spring’s semi-annual thrift store event. Get ready to dust off your cowboy boots and join us for an unforgettable evening at the SPCA Thrift Store Party: The Canine Corral on April 22. This exciting event promises a boot-scootin' good time filled with fantastic finds, delicious treats and plenty of fun.

From stylish clothing to unique home decor, there's something for everyone to discover. Whether you're on the hunt for vintage gems or modern must-haves, the thrift store has it all.
In addition to the shopping experience, guests will be treated to complimentary appetizers and cocktails, courtesy of our generous sponsors at Security Federal Bank. Sip on a refreshing drink as you peruse the aisles and indulge in tasty bites to keep your energy up while you shop. It's the perfect opportunity to mingle with fellow animal lovers and enjoy a night out for a good cause.
