Pet Guardian Care Program

Overview

Pet Guardian Care Program

Have you considered what would happen to your pets should they outlive you?

About the Program

Through the SPCA’s Guardian Care program, it is our goal to provide a program that will give you peace of mind and options for quality care of your pet(s) when you are no longer able to do so.  Not only will your pets be cared for, but you will join a group of people who are helping secure the Sacramento SPCA for generations to come.
