PLACER SPCA
A New Community & Companion Animal Care Center

​Placer SPCA is the largest and most comprehensive animal welfare organization in Placer County. In operation for 40 years, it shelters up to 4,000 animals annually and provides adoption counseling, spay and neuter assistance, pet lost and found, an array of classes and workshops, collaborative rescue efforts, pet behavioral training, and volunteer opportunities including a thrift store.  Yet Placer SPCA is at a critical juncture. Our ability to serve a growing community is challenged by a facility that has outlived its useful lifespan and is becoming ever more expensive to maintain.

To address the challenges of its existing site, as well as future program and animal capacity requirements, the Placer SPCA completed a new Animal Care and Adoption Center in 2007.  Intended as both a community space and animal welfare center, this new facility has been designed as a gathering place where people and animals can unite in a calm, stress-free environment.

The Placer SPCA has now embarked on Phase II, a new Veterinary and Foster Care Center.  

• The existing veterinary care facility was created in 2007 by repurposing cramped offices and storage areas into exam, surgery, and recovery rooms.
• Our current space hinders care due to the facility’s layout, lack of space, inadequate ventilation systems, and age.
• Placer County’s rapid expansion, combined with a critical shortage of veterinary service providers, has created an animal welfare crisis in our community.
• Our limited dental care area strains necessary services; over half of our incoming pets urgently need dental attention, including extractions.
• Dogs and cats share recovery space, intensifying the stress of post-surgery recuperation due to spatial constraints.

Buy a Brick The Placer SPCA was founded by the community for the community to enhance the lives of companion animals and support the human-animal bond. For 40 years, its mission has been sustained almost entirely by generous local support. Expanded community partnerships enabled the Placer SPCA to achieve notable recognition for excellence in all of its programs. Therefore, it will come as no surprise that the Placer SPCA is seeking to partner with the community to make this vision a reality.

We are in the homestretch of an ambitious campaign to raise funds for the much-needed new and larger Veterinary and  Foster Care Center. Your gift to the Homestretch Campaign can make all the difference in giving the Placer SPCA the ability to start construction on this new animal care center. By contributing to the campaign, you will help save the lives of animals by supporting high-quality medical care, safe habitats and calming environments, and welcoming education and adoption areas that will be a part of the Center.
