EMC SPCA Animal Care and Adoption Center The EMC SPCA was organized in 1990 with the goal of building a much needed shelter. With Madera County Animal Control being the only facility in the area and a very high euthanasia rate, our founders wanted something better for the community. It was soon decided that building without educating ourselves and building relationships with well-run shelters would be a mistake. Over the years, we have refined our goals, begun programs to prevent pet over-population, and begun fundraising for the shelter. In cooperation with Madera County and the help of Supervisor Tom Wheeler, the EMC SPCA is leasing county property for our new shelter. Look for our sign on Highway 49 in Ahwahnee across from Wasuma School. We will utilize about 6 acres on a long term, low cost lease. We have completed all environmental studies and have a grading plan completed. We are making refinements to our floor plan (shown below) and will soon take everything to the county for their approval. The EMC SPCA Animal Care and Adoption Center will be about 8000 square feet and will feature state of the art design and finishes. The facility will be built with local donations and grants. There will be no financial support from Madera County or any national organization. .  |
