About your California State Leader
Humboldt Humane
When Jennifer Raymond moved to Humboldt County in rural northern California in 2000, she was horrified to learn that more than 4,000 cats and dogs were being euthanized each year at the county impound facility. Not surprisingly, there were no low-cost spay neuter programs in the county, so Jennifer founded Humboldt Spay/Neuter Network to provide voucher assistance for spaying and neutering at local veterinary clinics. In 2014, she opened Humboldt Spay/Neuter Clinic in Eureka, and in 2023, she opened a second spay/neuter clinic in Fortuna to serve the southern portion of the county.
Today, no adoptable animals are being euthanized at the county shelter, but Jennifer is quick to point out that the only way to maintain this progress is through the ongoing availability of affordable spaying and neutering. According to Jennifer, “Spaying and neutering is the easiest, most cost-effective, and most humane solution to pet overpopulation, overcrowded shelters, and euthanasia of healthy, adoptable animals.”

PACC Priorities
Our priorities are informed by over four decades of combined volunteering in the trenches, and rescuing dogs from CA public shelters. We have witnessed first hand the behemoth that is CA’s public sheltering system, trying to keep up with the unrelenting flow of unplanned and unwanted animals entering what are too often, essentially animal prisons, ill equipped to adequately care for such sentient and social beings. PACC is actively working to support the day where the number of animals entering our shelters is small, manageable, and those animals experience the care, compassion, and yes PLAY we would all hope for, from our local shelters. For these reasons, we are focused on the 3 priorities below…
1. Legislate a CA Spay Neuter Fund
Spaying and neutering saves money. It simultaneously increases community safety and is a humane alternative to animals entering, suffering in, and dying in shelters. Despite California taxpayers funding ~153 public shelters to the tune of ~$400M annually to control, shelter, vet, adopt out and euthanize animals, California has highest shelter animal kill rate in the nation. This is an indelible stain that we are working hard to address.
2. Bring Playgroups to CA Shelters
CA is behind the curve in committing to the national best practice, highly respected, Dogs Playing for Life playgroup model, that commits to Every Dog, Out to Play, Every Day. Instead animals in many, if not most, CA public shelters languish, isolated in kennels where they suffer terribly, rapidly deteriorate and are subsequently, quietly euthanized .
PACC does not accept any excuses for not transforming the lives of shelter dogs through the relatively simple, incredibly inexpensive act of safely grouping dogs by play style and LETTING THEM OUT TO PLAY!
3. Rescue and Rehome Shelter Dogs at Risk of Euthanasia
Shelter dogs are our passion. We identify shelter dogs at risk of euthanasia, match them with suitable foster homes, ready them for adoption and then find loving forever families to provide the life every companion animal deserves. We likewise help with rehoming dogs at risk of landing in a shelter as a result of individual or family crisis, trauma, or poverty.
