Dr. Strand Brings Her Compassion on the
Road
The East Bay SPCA is very
proud of the staff veterinarians that treat our shelter
animals as well as pets of private clients. We know you will
understand why when you read the fascinating story of Dr. Heidi
Strand's visit to the Colville Indian Reservation in
Washington state. Please click

A Day at the SPCA for Kids
Of course kids of all ages
love to have fun:consider combining education and

Children in grades K-5 will have a great time learning

shelter guests. For more information and to register your

Kids love learning to care for
animals.
Help Your Best Friend in Case of
