OUR VISION
Eliminate animal homelessness, save lives, and improve the quality of life for our community’s pets and the people who love them.Thanks to a generous lead gift by Zoe K. McCrea, the Sacramento SPCA is creating a 6,400-square-foot animal health center which will immediately increase our annual spay/neuter capacity by 5,000 animals, meaning that we will spay and neuter more than 23,000 animals in 2021. The clinic will have the capacity of 36,000 annual surgeries by 2026, making it one of the top-three clinics in the nation, and will also provide low-cost preventative care and low-cost surgeries through the vaccine and wellness clinics – all located right here in our beloved Sacramento.
We must decrease the number of unwanted animals that enter our public shelters; get more animals out of shelters and into homes; and provide early detection and treatment of the kinds of high-cost illnesses that force many families to surrender their pets.
That is why the Sacramento SPCA devotes significant resources to addressing animal over-population through our spay and neuter program; performing more than 18,000 procedures annually. It is the only thing that solves both over-population and the number of animals entering the Sacramento SPCA facility and the city and county shelters each year. However, demand in our region far exceeds the number of surgeries we are able to perform in the current clinic space.
Our success will require support from the entire Sacramento community - from animal-lovers to civic-minded residents - who share our vision.
