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.

Rex

Rex is a one-and-a-half-year-old mix breed who was surrendered to us for not getting along with the pet in the home. He wasn’t socialized much with other animals, so unfortunately, he cannot live with cats or dogs. He can be timid at first, but once he opens up, he’s a total love bug! Mellow kids are best for him because of his shy nature. Don’t let his shyness deter you, he’s a velcro dog and only wants to make his person happy.
