In 1955 Ella Merle and her daughter Dede Kline rose to an auspicious challenge of helping animals who had fallen through the cracks of society in Columbia County. Through their dedication and exhaustive efforts, one small building with five dog kennels has today become a multi-faceted animal welfare organization holding up to sixty dogs and one hundred cats.

Over the last six decades CGHS/SPCA has expanded its services in the community to include low-cost veterinary services (serving more than two thousand animals each year); a food bank (providing 25,000 pounds of free food annually to families in need); stray dog housing, assisting law enforcement with cruelty cases; community outreach; and humane education.

Charlie is the sweetest four-and-a-half-year-old Australian Shepherd/Collie Mix. He was surrendered to us for not getting along with the other dogs in the home. Cats make him a little nervous, but he’d be able to live with a low-key cat that can respect his space. He’s the definition of a velcro-dog and would make an amazing companion for someone looking for an affectionate dog. Respectful kids would be best for him, because he’s a bit shy at first.
