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.

Willow

Willow is a 3 year old Pitbull mix who was surrendered to us because her owners were moving. She’s a complete goofball when she wants to be, but she’s also a lovebug. Willow will crawl right into your lap if you let her! She still has to be tested with other animals, but we believe she’d be great with sturdy kids.
