All of us at the Placer SPCA are proud of
our shelter’s history and our reputation
within our diverse community of more than
300,000. Through years of dedication
and hard work, the staff and volunteers at
the Placer SPCA have created a truly unique
shelter where the animals really do come
first, and where we are collectively
committed to creating a community where
every adoptable companion animal has a
loving home.
Founded in 1973,
the Placer SPCA plays an active role in
serving the animals and the people of our
community. The Placer SPCA is a 501 (c)(3)
non-profit organization dedicated to
facilitating the humane treatment of animals
in Placer County as well as a safer,
healthier community overall.

information about our service area. The Placer SPCA
is funded solely by donations, grants,
bequests and fees for service. It receives
no government funding or tax dollars.
In its early years, the Placer SPCA operated
without a shelter facility of its own and
was run entirely through volunteers who
found foster homes for the animals. In 1995,
a shelter was completed which now houses
over 4,000 animals a year and includes
an education room and treatment rooms for
sick and injured animals.
Today, the Placer SPCA continues to grow and
provide many innovative programs to enhance
animal well-being and improve adoptability,
such as: kennel enrichment and
socialization strategies, behavior
modification counseling and training, foster
care and mobile adoption. We also work
closely with the community to provide
adoption counseling, spay/neuter assistance
and education, pet lost and found, pet
classes and workshops, humane education,
collaborative rescue efforts, and volunteer
opportunities.
