The Sacramento SPCA is pleased to announce that we have received another grant from the Grey Muzzle Organization in support of our Pawspice program for the next year!  This program covers the cost of palliative care for animals like Gina who have a terminal diagnosis but good quality of life. 

Twelve-year-old Chihuahua Gina was brought to the Sacramento SPCA in June after being diagnosed with a heart condition. By paying for her medical care and medication, this program allows the Sacramento SPCA to remove the financial stress that comes with adopting a senior dog with a terminal disease.  

Thanks to the Grey Muzzle organization, this sweet senior will receive all the medical treatment she needs for her heart condition so all her new forever family has to worry about is helping her have the best rest of her life.

We are so grateful for the Grey Muzzle’s continued partnership and support of our senior Pawspice dogs. Gina and her new family are definitely enjoying her golden years!
