Be Prepared for Anything Fido or Fluffy May

It's Fun to Get Out! Adopt-a-Thon and Mobile

placing these wonderful animals. We have many
mobile adoption locations, including our
newest at Lakeshore Farmer's Market in Oakland on the second
Saturday of each month from 11am - 3pm. Come down and find your
new best friend!

Want to S.H.A.R.E Your Love of
Animals?
In February, the East Bay SPCA became part of the
SHARES program at local supermarkets. We want to thank the many
Tail Mail supporters who requested cards - the results have been
wonderful! In four short months, we have earned almost $1,000 to
support the animals in our care. A small act can make a
big difference, and our shopping supporters are proof. If
you would like to help earn points we would be happy to send you
a no-cost, no personal information stored card so your
purchase can make a difference every time you shop.
Please
email us if
you would like to receive a card. Thank you for your
support!
