Yolo County SPCA

The Yolo County Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals or Yolo County SPCA is a non-profit foster-home based animal rescue organization dedicated to improving the lives of animals in need in Yolo County and surrounding communities.  We are not affiliated with any other local or national animal welfare organization, and rely on community donations and aid to help us provide the necessary care for animals in our foster home system.  The Yolo County SPCA is overseen by a volunteer board of directors and is supported by a network of volunteer foster homes to help us rescue the many homeless animals in our community.

Our foster home program enables us to care for animals that need love, socialization, and structure in order to become adoptable. Our caregivers nurture and support many homeless dogs, cats, puppies and kittens; some of which are sick, injured, or underage, until they are ready to be adopted to new homes. We provide food, medications, veterinary care and guidance; volunteers open their homes to these animals sometimes for very long periods of time. With the support of our foster homes and other volunteers, we adopted 261 cats and kittens and 94 dogs and puppies into permanent, loving homes in 2023.  For over 30 years, the Yolo County SPCA has operated a thrift store in downtown Davis. The proceeds from our store and other monetary donations and grants provide funding for our programs.
