Over the past several years, there has been an increase in pets entering the Sacramento SPCA\u2019s care with preexisting behavior challenges. To meet the needs of every pet and ensure they are adopted as quickly as possible, the Sacramento SPCA\u2019s Behavior and Adoptions Teams developed new programs to provide these pets with the extra support they need while in the shelter and resources they can go home with as they adjust to life with their new families.<\/p>\n
Thanks to the lifesaving investment from Petco Love, both dogs and cats needing extra behavior support will benefit from these new programs. Funds will purchase materials for their in-shelter enrichment as well as items for an \u201cAdoption Success Kit\u201d that will go home with them when they are adopted.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are incredibly grateful for Petco Love\u2019s continued investment in our lifesaving work,\u201d said Sarah Haney, Interim Chief Executive Officer. \u201cTheir partnership will allow us to provide customized care for pets needing extra behavior support. With this initiative, the Sacramento SPCA can continue to be a resource for adopters in our community, reduce the number of pets returned to our care for behavioral reasons, and keep as many families together as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
Petco Love is a national nonprofit leading change for pets by harnessing the power of love to make communities and pet families closer, stronger, and healthier. Since its founding in 1999, Petco Love has invested nearly $400 million in adoption and other lifesaving efforts. And Petco Love helps find loving homes for pets in partnership with Petco and more than 4,000 organizations \u2014 like ours \u2014 across North America, with 6.8 million pets adopted and counting.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur investment in the Sacramento SPCA is part of more than $15M in investments recently announced by Petco Love to power local organizations across the country as part of our commitment to create a future in which no pet is unnecessarily euthanized,\u201d said Susanne Kogut, president of Petco Love. \u201cOur local investments are only part of our strategy to empower animal lovers to drive lifesaving change right alongside us. We launched Petco Love Lost<\/a>, a national lost and found database that uses patented image-recognition technology to simplify the search for lost pets.\u201d<\/p>\n As the only full-service 100% nonprofit animal shelter in the Sacramento region, the Sacramento SPCA relies on donations from individuals, businesses, and foundations to support their lifesaving work. They are local, independent, and not affiliated with any other SPCA or humane society, including the ASPCA. All funds stay right here in the Sacramento region \u2013 helping pets \u2013 and the people who love them \u2013 in our own communities.<\/p>\n For more information about the Sacramento SPCA visit https:\/\/www.sspca.org\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n Learn more about Petco Love here: https:\/\/petcolove.org\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n About the Sacramento SPCA:<\/strong><\/p>\n Founded in 1892, the Sacramento SPCA has been providing homeless animals with individual comfort, shelter, and love for more than 132 years.
