Pet Survivor Placement
Planning for the future of your pet(s) is something that every responsible pet owner should consider. What would happen to your beloved dog(s) or cat(s) if you couldn’t care for them any longer? East Bay SPCA’s Pet Survivor Placement Program can help provide you with peace of mind about the fate of your pet(s) should they outlive you.
As a member of this program, should your pet(s) survive you, we assure that they are taken into our shelter where they will receive loving care and medical attention while we work to place your pet(s) in a new loving home.
To enroll in our Pet Survivor Placement Program:
- Complete a Pet Survivor Placement Program Enrollment Form and Pet Profile for each pet you wish to include in the program. The information you supply will help East Bay SPCA provide your pet with the best possible care and adoption to a new home.
- Provide an annual gift to East Bay SPCA of $250 or more per pet. These gifts support our Pet Survivor Placement Program, adoption centers and veterinary clinic.
