NEW SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
Making a big difference
If you are looking for a special way to make a difference in the lives of animals at the Sacramento SPCA, look no further. You can either make a general donation to help provide care in many areas of need or you can choose a specific program to support. The Feral Cat Spay/ Neuter Clinic and the We Pay to Spay program are just a couple of the new sponsorship opportunities now available.
people who love animals
By Kenn Altine, Chief Executive Officer
With apologies to Bill Nye: “It is my vision to change the world. I’m not kidding. Make no small plans. Dream mighty things. I believe if we can get enough people to engage in helping animals, we will get enough people to change the world.”
Each day, rain or shine, hot or cold, weekday or holiday, our volunteers show up. This past Memorial Day, the book barn team, which annually raises $82,000, had seven volunteers sorting books and moving heavy boxes, all for the animals. Elsewhere that day, we had volunteers walking dogs, sorting newspapers and socializing cats.
Adoption Welcome Home Kits
These kits are available for adopters to purchase before they leave to go home with their new pet and include a multitude of tools to aid in the transition of home life. For dogs, each kit includes a crate to assist with potty training and learning about life inside a house!

were not equipped to handle her medical issues and thought
euthanasia was her only option.
Volunteer Spotlight
Nancy
Nancy’s Nomination, “Nancy’s face is one I see around
the shelter on a daily basis. She seems to be everywhere:
smiling, offering support, whipping out a dog treat, having deep
conversations with dachshunds, you name it!! She has so
many roles as a volunteer, I can’t even keep them all straight,
but she seems to help out with everything! She brightens the day
and lightens the load and we are so lucky to have her!”
Sponsored Adoptions
“Buddy is my best friend and I know we were meant to be together. My life would be very different without him.”
