Program Description
“In this economy we are seeing the seniors that struggle in a lot of areas and this just offers that assistance to them so that they can choose to adopt an animal whereas before they may have hesitated and said I really can’t financially afford this right now."
'It really gives hope, it gives an incredible amount of hope to so many people because they are struggling with everything in their lives and all of a sudden now they have a partner. At least they are able to have that time and have that constant companionship.”
-Rick Johnson, video: Sacramento SPCA Senior Services.
