Sacramento, United States Sacramento SPCA Full time

TITLE: Chief Executive Officer

ORGANIZATION: Sacramento SPCA (SSPCA)

LOCATION: Sacramento, CA

REPORTS TO: Board of Directors

MISSION                              

To foster a loving and compassionate community for companion animals and people by providing assistance, creating lifelong relationships, and saving lives.

ABOUT                                 

Since 1892, the Sacramento SPCA has worked to reduce pet overpopulation through affordable spay/neuter services, promote the humane treatment of animals through education and outreach, and assist pet owners through a variety of programs and services designed to keep pets and their families together for life. The Sacramento SCPA campus is 20 acres with multiple buildings including the Zoe K. McCrea Animal Health Center, a state-of-the-art animal hospital that opened in 2021.

The Sacramento SPCA is the only open-admission animal shelter in the Sacramento area with managed entry which means they accept animals that are surrendered to them regardless of health, age, breed or behavior, but will schedule the entry to better manage animal populations and flow. Open-admission shelters play an essential role in providing care to the thousands of animals that would otherwise have no safe refuge. The Sacramento SPCA believes in helping the greatest number of animals possible. Euthanasia is determined by the results of the animal's health and behavioral evaluation. The Sacramento SPCA is committed to saving animal lives and practices each step of the "no kill" equation including providing medical care, adoptions, modifying behavior and using positive training techniques, developing partnerships within the community and with rescue groups, maintaining a strong foster program, providing free services to seniors, and operating on-site low-cost spay/neuter, wellness, and vaccine clinics. The Sacramento SPCA utilizes every resource possible before the difficult decision to euthanize is considered. The Sacramento SPCA also offers end-of-life services for owned animals when there is a verified need.

THE OPPORTUNITY                 

The Sacramento SPCA seeks their next Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The CEO of the Sacramento SPCA leads a team of more than 110 people with an annual budget of nearly $10 million. The Sacramento SPCA does more than 20,000 spay/neuter procedures a year, placing it in the top 10 animal welfare agencies in the country for spay/neuter. The Sacramento SPCA provides over 40 programs for the benefit of the Sacramento community including providing alternatives to pet owners who may need to surrender their beloved pets and keeping pets in the homes they have by providing no- or low-cost food and medical care. The Sacramento SPCA provides “Pawspice Program” for terminally ill pets that still have a good quality of life by offering palliative care to the animals in an adopted home. Building upon these achievements, the next CEO will lead the board and staff to grow services to meet the needs of the greater Sacramento area while maintaining the exceptional care and service the SPCA is known for.
