Spokanimal

SpokAnimal C.A.R.E. was incorporated in 1983 and has operated an adoption center and contracted for Animal Control for the City of Spokane since that time. We currently handle over 700 animals per month. The animals in our Adoption Center are a combination of strays and owner turn-ins. Animals may be turned in for a variety of reasons, but national statistics show that the #1 reason for owner release or euthanasia is behavior, usually caused by lack of training, supervision and socialization. Our officers investigate reports of cruelty and neglect.

Our shelter staff are dedicated to helping people better understand their pets and encourage all families to attend obedience classes following the adoption of their new dog. Spokane Dog Training Club and Diamonds in the Ruff have generously contributed certificates for reduce cost training classes. Lilac City Dog Training helps us spread the word each year at their annual Have-A-Heart Adoption Day at the shelter. Through training, our adopted dogs will become better behaved, safer pets in their homes and in the community and reduce the chance of being returned to the shelter.

Volunteer Opportunities:

SpokAnimal C.A.R.E. is a non-profit organization supported by the generosity of our members. Donations of time, supplies, great ideas and money shared with us by our members, volunteers and friends make it possible for us to continue our daily work to help the animals in our shelter and in the community.
