What a Difference An Afternoon Makes
Four times each year, East Bay SPCA volunteers and staff team up to vaccinate hundreds of dogs in a single afternoon at local parks in underserved East Bay communities. Our most recent event took place in Richmond at Nicholl Park, where we helped dogs belonging to over 400 local residents. These important events not only help prevent disease pet overpopulation as we educate attendees about the benefits of spaying/neutering.
 
Our members help make these life-saving events possible. On behalf of the thousands of dogs and people we serve through these events each year, we thank you!
 
Volunteers, members and staff come together
to save lives at our vaccination fairs.
