Chief Executive Officer, SSPCA

Sacramento, California, 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.
