To the Future

Our future is bright and we will be a beacon of light and hope to all homeless, abandoned, and abused animals.

In 2011 the UCSPCA was privileged to adopt out 668 animals to forever homes and 164 animals were rescued by our Humane Law officers.  We helped to reduce homeless and abandoned animals by providing low cost spay/neuter services in our clinic to 2,543 animals and we were able to reach out to 1,300 students in the community for Humane Education training.

In 2012 we will be working to increase these services even more. Our mission is to find more loving homes for our animals through outreach programs, socialization and behavior training from our staff and volunteers so animals will be adopted faster. Animals come to our shelter after having a home and are put in a room with 50 other cats and have to adjust to that change. Our staff and volunteers work diligently to comfort them and make them less frightened so they will be able to meet their new family. Our dog training staff help dogs adjust to their shelter surroundings and prepare them for beginning new lives with new companions. The more animals we are able to adopt out, the more we will be able to take in and help. Our goal is to surpass what we have done in the last year.

We will work tirelessly to improve animal abuse laws, so when someone hurts an animal they will be held accountable. Our spay/neuter clinic will continue to provide the community with low cost services to reduce the overpopulation of homeless animals. We will continue to  provide our other services to the public such as low cost rabies vaccination clinics and our micro chip service. We will reach out to even more young minds through our Humane Education program.

You, our members and friends, are part of our future. Without your support and generosity, we would be unable to continue in our mission. Since we receive no government funding whatsoever we rely totally on the private and business community at large. Thank you for all that you do, and we will look forward to an even brighter future working together to accomplish even more than we have in the past.
