As the largest and most comprehensive animal welfare provider in Placer County, Placer SPCA provides shelter, medical care, and adoption services for up to 4,000 displaced, homeless, and abandoned pets annually.
Placer SPCA operates several facilities including the best-in-animal-welfare practices Adoption & Education Center which opened in 2018.
