Founded in 1892, the Sacramento SPCA has been providing homeless animals with individual comfort, shelter, and love for more than 128 years. We work to reduce pet overpopulation through affordable spay/neuter services, promote humane treatment of animals through education and outreach, and assist pet owners through programs and services designed to keep pets and their families together for life.
The Sacramento SPCA serves the entire Sacramento region as a premier provider of low-cost spay/neuter services, collaborating with local rescue groups, feral cat caregivers, those in need, and the public to alter 18,104 animals in 2019. Additionally, 38,068 low-cost and no-cost vaccinations were provided to the community, 1,368 animals received low-cost veterinary exams and 3,961 sick, injured and homeless animals found new homes through the shelter's adoption facility. The Sacramento SPCA provides a comprehensive spectrum of services to the community, including animal care, sheltering, foster care and adoptions; low-cost and/or free spay and neuter services; animal/human interaction therapy at nursing homes and hospitals; humane education outreach; animal behavior and training classes; senior and low-income assistance; lost pet resources; and extensive volunteer programs. Our outreach programs provide humane education to over 6,800 children and adults each year through camps at the shelter, school visits to K - 12 grades, dog training programs and free advice on our behavior helpline. The Sacramento SPCA reaches out to seniors through its pet-facilitated visitation program, as well as through free pet vaccination clinics, free adoptions to seniors, and an in-home pet assistance program. The Sacramento SPCA currently has over 21,000 active supporters, 800 active volunteers and serves a 990 square-mile area of Sacramento County. The Sacramento SPCA has collaborative and supportive agreements in place with pet food companies, local veterinarians, pharmaceutical companies and the University of California-Davis School of Veterinary Medicine, all with the express purpose of improving care for shelter animals.
Spay and neuter services are a major focus of the Sacramento SPCA and all animals in our care are spayed or neutered prior to release for adoption. In addition, we pro-actively operate outreach programs designed to encourage and facilitate spaying and neutering of companion and feral animals in our communities, including programs to encourage participation of people who may be reluctant or unable to pay for such services. In 2019, 18,104 animals were sterilized. We average over 1,000 surgeries each year at no cost for pit bulls, pit mixes and Chihuahuas through our We Pay to Spay program and more than 3,864 cats were altered at no cost to our TNR partners through our Community Cat Program.In late 2019, the Sacramento SPCA launched a campaign to fund and build an expanded spay/neuter clinic and animal health center to support the growing needs of animals and people in our community. Upon its completion in early 2021, the Zoe K. McCrea Animal Health Center will immediately increase our annual spay/neuter capacity by 5,000 surgeries and provide early detection and treatment of the types of high-cost illnesses that force many families to surrender their animal.
The Sacramento SPCA provides a safe and nurturing environment for unwanted, abandoned and mistreated pets until they can be permanently placed into loving homes. Through proactive intervention, public education and community outreach efforts, 3,961 animals were placed into loving homes and an additional 288 placed through rescue partners during the calendar year 2019. Another 651 animals were transported from overburdened shelters in the community to the Sacramento SPCA for adoption.
