AUGUSTA REGIONAL SPCA

OUR SERVICES

In 2005, the shelter provided loving attention and care to 1,968 dogs, 2,427 cats,
and 39 other animals including hamsters, guinea pigs, and rabbits. Of these
animals, 1,177 dogs and 319 cats were adopted or returned to their owners. In
1999, the shelter space was doubled to accommodate 70 dogs and 50 cats. In
2006, we are currently in the process of adding a new addition to our shelter.
We will soon have six adoption rooms (we currently have one). We are looking
forward to the completion of this expansion so we can better serve you.

The Staff, Board of Directors, and volunteers are involved in several
fundraising and healthy pet promotional events throughout the year as well as
programs which seek to educate pet owners and eliminate the birth of
thousands of unwanted animals.

Shelter staff and volunteers are active in Humane Education and Pet Therapy
Visitation programs in locals schools, nursing homes, and adult day care
centers.

The SPCA offers euthanasia and interment services for pets. Some individuals
will honor a special occasion (birthday, anniversary) or remember a friend or
pet with a memorial gift.

The Augusta Regional SPCA now offers spay/neuter assistance for those
individuals/families that meet certain income requirements. For those that
qualify, 100% financial assistance will be given for spay/neuter surgery done
at participating veterinary clinics. Rabies vaccinations and H.W./Feline
leukemia testing are required before surgery is done and the expenses for
those services are the responsibility of the pet owner(s). If interested in this
service, application forms are available at the shelter and must be completed
and proof of income submitted at the time of application.
