The East Bay SPCA’s Pet Survivor Placement Program

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? The 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.
