AUGUSTA REGIONAL SPCA

ABOUT OUR SERVICES



In 2007, the shelter provided loving attention and care to 1,913 dogs, 2,603 cats, and 26 other animals including goats,
hamsters, guinea pigs, and rabbits. Of these animals, 1,246 dogs and 342 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 expanded again, adding a new
addition to our shelter. We now have eight adoption rooms; we previously had one.

The Staff, Board of Directors, and volunteers are involved in several fund raising 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 local 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.  We also have a pet memorial cemetery on the property,
where the public can choose to place their beloved pets who've crossed over the rainbow bridge.

The Augusta Regional SPCA now offers spay/neuter assistance for those who meet certain income requirements.
Qualified applicants will receive 100% financial assistance for spay/neuter surgery done at participating veterinary
clinics. Rabies vaccinations and Heartworm/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.
