Welcome to Shelter Life at the East Bay Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

We began as the Oakland SPCA in 1874. Today, the East Bay SPCA includes two animal shelters and three clinics in our community.

This is our day.

It sure does add up.

Some days I get a lot done. Some days I get very little done. Such is life in the shelter. Yesterday I had to finish the preliminary budget for 2006. I thought I would have all day to work on it. Boy, was I wrong.

The morning power outage only set up back a little bit. 15 minutes gone.
The phone line issue in Admin sucked up the afternoon. 30 minues gone.
The other phone line issue at Hegenberger is still unsolved. 30 minutes gone.
The gas furnance leak made the clinic smell just lovely. 20 minutes gone.
The alarm problem at spay neuter may be fixed next week. 15 minutes gone.
The follow up for the recent floor stripping is endless. 1 hour gone.
The water spillage in the dog kennels wasn't too bad. 15 minutes gone.
The paint coming down at TV was just a phone call. 10 minutes gone.
And then there were the hurricane animals. Checking on status, getting medication, coordiantion of fostering, talking with potential owners. 2 hours gone.

It sure does add up.
