We offer multiple educational opportunities such as touring classes, special meeting presentations, safety classes for professionals, creative events, service learning projects, and many other special animal related requests from the community. The ccspca and our pet placement organizations (ppos) have sent many animals out of state for placement from canada to chicago to montana to oregon. 1,332 pets were transferred to ppos. We are an open admissions shelter - that means we accept every animal, every day, 365 days a year - even the ones whose health, age or personality aren't ideal.
