At the Placer SPCA it is our goal to place each animal in a loving, permanent home.

To be certain that you and your family are ready to add a new furry family member to your household, click here and take a moment to consider: "Is this the Best time to Adopt a Pet?"

If you see an animal you would like to adopt, please visit us during our normal shelter hours.  It is also helpful to review our adoption process and pricing information before you come in!

Agility All Stars!  At the Placer SPCA we do our best to keep our animals happy and healthy. We take pride in our programs, which encourage the best possible match between adopters and family companions. We consistently receive requests from potential adopters for dogs with training. Since many of the dogs we receive are young and energetic, and often untrained, we developed a program that combines obedience and agility training. The "Placer SPCA All Stars" is a program that helps alleviates stress, boredom and depression while increasing our dogs’ chances of adoptability.

Many thanks to all of our wonderful volunteers, staff members and donors for making this program possible!

We'd love for you to visit us so we can show you how our All-Stars shine!

Companion Requests

If you are interested in a specific breed or type of animal, you may want to consider making a companion request. Simply fill out the matchmaker questionnaire and identify the type of animal you are interested in – and we will keep your paperwork on file for three months.  Should an animal come in that matches your companion request, we will contact you.  Please note:  Just because you make a companion request does not guarantee you will be able to adopt that animal.  You will still need to adhere to all of the adoption guidelines so we can ensure a successful adoption.

Special Pricing for Kittens: Most kittens are currently $75 for one or $100 for two! Black kittens are FREE. At the Placer SPCA, we have seen the busiest kitten season in memory, and we currently have approximately 190 kittens in foster care, plus plenty on the adoption floor.

Love Knows No Color
Consider a black kitten! In addition to all adult cats Free to GREAT Homes, the adoption fee will be waived for all black kittens until further notice. These little beauties are the last to be adopted - but once you get to know them you'll see they are not all the same. Black is always in fashion, and a short visit with one of these mysterious kittens will reveal their true personality.

We are still seeking volunteers who can foster kittens as well as donations of formula, kitten food, and monetary gifts to help us care for the homeless animals who come to us. Donate online.
