The Placer SPCA organizes events for volunteers, pet owners, youth, and others throughout the year. Events are an important part of our programs to serve the pets and people of Placer County.

Our various fundraising events raise money and awareness for the homeless companion animals of Placer County.  By attending a fundraising event, you not only support a wonderful cause, but you have a great time doing it!  For more information, including how you can serve as a sponsor of an upcoming event, please click on the link provided or call (916) 782-7722 or (530) 885-7387, extension 102, or email funddevelopment@placerspca.org.
