Pet Survivor Placement Program
Our Pet Survivor Placement Program offers Legacy Society members peace of mind knowing their beloved pets will be cared for should they outlive them. East Bay SPCA will provide enrolled pets with compassionate shelter and veterinary care while working to find them a loving new home — extending your legacy of compassion to the animals who mean the most to you.
