Glendale Humane Society & SPCA
The glendale humane society provides financial assistance to families with animals in need of medical treatment. We work directly with local veterinary practices who have identified a client as a responsible pet parent, unable to pay for treatment to sustain their pet's life. In addition we make grants to carefully vetted, animal-oriented 501(c)(3) organizations to help them complete projects or initiatives that align with our mission and support their charitable goals in the field of animal welfare.
