Other Ways to Give

In-Kind Donations

We are currently accepting in-kind donations Wednesdays – Sundays from 10:30 AM – 4:30 PM at our Oakland (8323 Baldwin Street, Oakland) and Dublin (4651 Gleason Drive, Dublin) Adoption Centers in a safe, socially distanced, manner. In-kind donations can be placed in our donation bins located outside of the shelter entrance. Please note we are closed the dates of 12/24, 12/25 and 1/1.

Items we accept include towels, blankets, dog harnesses, and unopened dog and cat food in its original packaging that has not expired.

We are unable to accept pillows, battery-operated heating blankets, battery-operated toys, dog houses, fabric crates, human clothing, medications of any kind, and prescription foods.

Our Amazon Wishlist also shows a comprehensive list of needed supplies that can be delivered directly to our shelter.

A meaningful gift can be as simple as providing shelter animals with all of the comforts of home: beds, toys, blankets, and so much more! View our Shelter Wish List and deliver your donation to the shelter or purchase your donation through Amazon.com Wish List and your gift will be shipped directly to us.

Pet Food Pantry
Our Pet Food Pantry provides free quality pet food for community members to ensure their pets stay healthy and with their families during challenging times. It is easy to donate food to this program through our Amazon Wishlist. Have questions about the program or want to sign up to pick up food? Email humaneadvocate@eastbayspca.org.

Workplace Giving and Matching Gifts

Automatically donate a percentage of your paycheck to the East Bay SPCA through your employer’s workplace giving program! Donors still receive gift acknowledgement letters (if the East Bay SPCA is notified of the donor’s name and address), and the contributions are listed on their W2 form.

In addition, many companies offer matching gift programs in which your charitable contribution is eligible to be matched dollar for dollar by your employer! It’s a simple way to double the impact of your donation!

IRA Rollovers

Think dogs are the only ones who can rollover? You can help local pets by rolling over your IRA. Now that Congress has made permanent the Charitable IRA Rollover annual tax exemption, it’s always time to consider a donation! Check with your IRA custodian to see if they have a special application for a charitable IRA rollover or contact giving@eastbayspca.org for more details.

Vehicle Donations

Have a vehicle you no longer need? Donating a car to the East Bay SPCA is simple and easy! It’s as easy as filling out the online donation form or calling 1-855-500-RIDE. Your vehicle will be towed at no cost! Proceeds from the sale help provide second chances to animals in our care. Find out more >>
