Open Admission
The R-H SPCA is an open admission animal shelter, meaning that we accept every pet from our jurisdiction regardless of temperament, breed, size, age, health, “adoptability,” available resources, or the ability of the owner or finder to pay for their care during their stay. We do not have a waiting list or surrender fee, nor do we require a surrender appointment or pre-surrender behavioral evaluation. Donations are gratefully accepted, but are not required.
