The LPD and SPCA’s new partnership aims to provide high-quality veterinary care, exercise, and enrichment with lost and homeless animals. The two organizations are also focused on the reunification of lost animals with their families or placement of stray pets into new homes are also being undertaken by the two organizations, according to the press release.
Under this new agreement, the East Bay SPCA will work with LPD Animal Services Officers to manage sheltering services. These services include the intake, care, and placement of stray and injured pets found within the city of Livermore.
