South Pacific County
Humane Society
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
South Pacific County Humane Society (SPCHS) administers
an array of programs to address the problem of homeless pets.
These programs provide a continuum of services for preventing
pet homelessness and caring for and re-homing pets in need.
• SPCHS finds forever homes for stray and surrendered cats
and dogs in South Pacific County and provides them shelter,
food, socialization, vaccinations, spay/neuter, and medical care
until their forever home is found.
• SPCHS assists low-income households in caring for their pets
with a voucher program for low-cost spay/neuters and with a
pet food program.
• SPCHS supports humane management of feral cat colonies
with loaning of feral cat traps for TNR and a $7.50 spay/neuter
program.
• SPCHS provides licensing of pets for the cities of Long Beach
and Ilwaco.
• SPCHS provides education and support for pets in neglected
situations.
• SPCHS provides boarding on a limited basis as space is
available.
FUNDRAISING EVENTS:
SPCHS has several fundraising events for supporting the
cats and dogs at the shelter. Our largest fundraiser is the BIG
RAFFLE with large cash or item prizes. Tickets are sold from
May through October with the big drawing at the end of
October. Other fundraising events are the Memorial
Weekend Grrrrage Sale, Fore! The Furballs Golf Tournament

Throughout the year we have smaller fundraising events,
online campaigns, and events at the shelter.
