The Yolo County SPCA is dedicated to improving the lives of animals in our community through rescue, education, and advocacy. Our goal is to create a more humane tomorrow for the people and pets who share our lives.
Founded in 1974 by a group of passionate individuals, we have spent decades committed to the welfare of local animals. We address community needs through active promotion of spay and neuter benefits, vital outreach programs, and our dedicated adoption services.
We operate as a foster-based organization, which means our adoptable animals reside in loving foster homes rather than a traditional shelter environment. This unique model allows us to learn the individual personalities of our pets, ensuring we make the best possible placements for every animal in our care.
Adoption is a joyful partnership that changes lives, and we are here to help you find your perfect companion. By choosing to adopt, you support a network of volunteers and foster parents who work tirelessly to provide a better future for deserving animals. Every animal in our care is microchipped, vaccinated, and spayed or neutered to ensure they are ready for their new family.
There are so many ways to get involved, whether you are looking to adopt, volunteer, or visit our thrift store to support our rescue programs. We invite you to view our adoptable pets online or learn more about our upcoming events and volunteer opportunities. Together, we can make a lasting difference for the animals who need us most.
