Causes: Animal Protection & Welfare, Animals

Mission: The mission of the Sullivan County SPCA is to make possible, during their transitional period, a better world for the animals in our charge by providing compassion, food, medical care and shelter. In addition, we are dedicated to educating the community about humane care, promoting the human-animal bond and encouraging adoption. Our goalsMaintain 0% euthanasia for all adoptable animals. Improve the health of our animals through proper nutrition and medical services. Enlarge our foster home program to alleviate overcrowding and to provide needed special care as well as socialization which will improve the retention rate of adoptions. Increase volunteerism and, thereby, promote proper animal care as well as improving the lives of the animals in our care. Increase awareness for TNR (Trap, Neuter, Release) programs for feral cats. Increase substantially the amount of income derived from donations and endowments. Create improved partnerships with area municipalities, businesses as well as area shelters/sanctuaries. Improve upon our post adoption services to increase the retention rate of adoptions

Results: We have been very successful in finding wonderful homes for the dogs, cats and other animals that are in our shelter. While they are with us, we give them love, medical care and socialization to make them more adoptable. We feel that we have been very successful in reaching our goals.

Target demographics: stray and other homeless animals find a safe home

Direct beneficiaries per year: hundreds of animals find homes and gave them love and care while waiting for the perfect home.

Geographic areas served: Roock hill

Programs: Every rescued cat or dog comes neutered, microchipped and have been health checked by a licensed vet. We have volunteers who take our animals out of the shelter to get them socialized and we have an animal behaviorist volunteer who works very hard to help train them to make them adoptable.
