You Can Help Rancho Coastal Humane Society Save More Lives
Every animal that arrives at Rancho Coastal Humane Society (RCHS) visits our medical team for health checks, vaccinations, medical treatments and spay/neuter surgeries.
Our medical team cares for nearly 1,000 dogs, cats and rabbits annually. With a new Medical Center, the potential patient load is 2,500+ adoptable animals.
“The new Medical Center will allow RCHS to save valuable time and fundsby eliminating the need to transport some animals offsite for something as routine as an x-ray!”
-Judi Sanzo, President and CEO

“Access to a proper medical facility would be quite literally life-changing for thousands of animals that are on their way to forever homes. Now is not the time. Long ago was the time. The installation of a suitable medical facility increases the caliber of care to a level that is synonymous with their mission and will be a defining moment in Rancho Coastal Humane Society’s history.”
