Giving More Than Shelter
Mission
Since 1894, the Sacramento SPCA has been dedicated to ensuring the humane treatment of animals in the Sacramento area, providing a safe and nurturing environment for unwanted, abandoned and mistreated pets until they can be permanently placed into loving homes. The Sacramento SPCA has been giving more than shelter to homeless animals by providing individual comfort, care, and love for more than 124 years. They provide compassionate medical care to tens of thousands of animals annually and offer a variety of programs and services designed to keep people and pets together for life.
