Who We Are
Mission
Statement
The Rick and Sally
Meyers Animal Shelter/Adams County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals (SPCA) is an IRC 501 c-3 non-profit organization that will
provide shelter and care for lost, abandoned and abused animals, investigate
and prosecute cruelty offenders, help control animal overpopulation
and educate the community about spay/neuter programs, animal wellness
and safety.
Serving Adams County since
April 30,1976, the The Rick and Sally Meyers Animal Shelter/Adams
County SPCA provides vital services to animals and people alike through
sheltering and adopting animals, investigating animal cruelty and
neglect, and rescuing animals in emergency situations.
The Rick and Sally Meyers Animal Shelter/Adams County SPCA is a private
nonprofit organization that receives only approximately 8% of its
annual operating budget of $500,000 from the county and municipalities
combined! We do fundraising, memberships, apply for grants and receive
some bequests, but we continue to struggle to support the very important
task of caring for the many animals that come through our doors. For
the past couple of years, too many animals have become displaced orphans;
a tragedy of these harsh economic times. We take in approximately
3000 animals per year and each year that number increases.
ADAMS COUNTY SPCA ANNOUNCES
NAME CHANGE
Rick Meyers presenting his donation to ACSPCA Board President,
Katie Carroll at the Dinner Gala.
At its annual Gala held
on November 13th at the Inn of 1863, the Adams County SPCA announced
a change in the name of its Goldenville Road shelter to the "The Rick
and Sally Meyers Animal Shelter." The announcement was made by Board
member Christy Settle who told the Gala guests that the name change
was a fitting tribute to honor Sally Meyers, a longtime member of
the Board of Directors who passed away last January. Ms. Settle noted
that Sally had raised her family of 3 children and opened her home
to 19 foster children. Sally then turned her considerable energies
to animal welfare and joined the ACSPCA board in 2005. She worked
tirelessly to increase fundraising through grant writing and was the
catalyst behind the acquisition of the Spay Neuter Trailer. In Sally's
memory, her husband, Rick Meyers, made a donation to the ACSPCA to
fund an annual spay neuter clinic and a donation to the shelter for
the name change. The Meyers family requested that the name include
both Rick and Sally as Rick Meyers also serves on the ACSPCA Board
of Board of Directors and assists in its fund raising activities.
