Pet Adoptions in California
California SPCA and Humane Societies are a Great Place to StartIf you are going to adopt a pet in California I suggest that you consider a local Humane Society or SPCA. The SPCA and Humane Societies do a lot of great work in the community and they do their best to save pets lives.It has always upset me that pets get euthanized in animal shelters. I have come to realize though that this is a last resort and usually reserved for aggressive animals or very ill animals. I have decided to add my voice to those that call for having pets spayed or neutered to control overpopulation. I am also adding my voice to those that suggest considering adopting a pet instead of purchasing. These two actions reduce the pressure on shelters everywhere. Every dog and cat that is adopted out is spayed or neutered first to help control the states animal population. This is because thousands of pets end up in these shelters every year. Often it is for reasons that are not serious – there are simply too many dogs and cats born each year. These are some of the SPCA’s in California: Central California SPCA Passadena Humane Society & SPCA Los Angeles SPCA San Mateo CA, Pensinsula Humane Society & SPCA East Bay SPCA – 5 locations including 3 in Oakland. Sacramento SPCA San Francisco SPCA North County Humane Society SPCA Valley Oak SPCA in Visalia Silicone Valley SPCA San Diego Humane Society and SPCA Humane Society and SPCA of Sonoma County Yolo County SPCA Orange County SPCA If you would like to add to the Pet Adoptions in California page please take a moment to contact us (use the contact tab on the navigation bar to the left) Before you go, I want to share a link to a great site I recently discovered.
