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.

Sarge is a two-year-old Lab/Pointer who was surrendered to us at no fault of his own. With the proper introductions, he’d be able to live comfortably with another dog, but he has to be in a cat free home. Sarge is incredibly active and loves to play fetch; so he would benefit from an active home with older kids to tire him out.
