Cost to Our Non-Profit Shelter:

The cost to care and prepare animals for adoption is much greater than the fees we charge. If at any time adopters are able to consider a donation in addition to the adoption fee, we are extremely grateful. Donations can be made online at www.sqspca.org or with our donation form or at the shelter.
