SpokAnimal C.A.R.E. is passionately dedicated to the placement, protection and health of animals through legislation, education and programs for pets and their people.

Our Vision:
SpokAnimal C.A.R.E. will lead the community in a humane, effective, proactive and professional effort to preserve and promote the human-companion animal bond. We will do this from a state-of-the-art facility that is a safe haven for animals, and through a comprehensive educational program that concentrates on teaching kindness, wellness and compassion for pets and their people.

SpokAnimal was incorporated in 1983 and we have recently been given the unique privilege to assist our placement partners in addressing the critical issues surrounding the pets in their care, whether that be overpopulation, illness, or special needs animals. We help each of them day after day, animal by animal. Shelters and rescue groups work tirelessly to protect and save lives. With the support and encouragement of SpokAnimal and our Cruisin' Critters Transport Program, the animals in their care are given a second chance. This is not just an idea, this is reality.
At SpokAnimal, we are all about saving lives. We have done a great job the last 30 years in decreasing overpopulation, increasing our ability and commitment to spay/neuter, providing education to school children and groups, and hosting superb training for animal welfare workers, volunteers and the general public. As we move forward and transition to the new and improved SpokAnimal model, while all of these things remain important to us, our focus will be on saving even more lives through our partnerships. It is our intent to visit partner agencies throughout Washington and the surrounding states and pick up animals in need of a new home, spay or neuter them at SpokAnimal's veterinary clinic, the Dorothy Clark Animal Center, then offer them for adoption to loving homes. This enables animal control, humane societies, and rescue facilities to have room for the endless stream of homeless pets and allows us to offer a happy ending for the pets in our care.
