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.

Ace
This dapper gentleman is Ace and he’s 11 and a half years old. He was adopted from us in 2022 to a very loving home. Unfortunately, his owner fell ill and was no longer able to care for him, so he was brought back to us this year. Ace wants to be the man of the house and prefers to be the only pet in the home. He’s more than affectionate enough as a single pet; he absolutely loves people.
