The Columbia-Greene Humane Society/SPCA (CGHS/SPCA) is pleased to announce the public launch of its to support the creation of the Harold Grubin, M.D. Clinic and Health Center, an ambitious project designed to transform veterinary care for animals in need throughout Columbia and Greene Counties.

The campaign will help establish an innovative, state-of-the-art veterinary facility unlike any other in the two-county region. Combining comprehensive veterinary services, advanced medical technology, affordable care for the public, and specialized treatment and rehabilitation for victims of animal cruelty, the Center will bring together essential services under one roof in a way that is unprecedented for Columbia and Greene Counties and the surrounding community. Planned features include modern surgical and dental facilities, diagnostic imaging, laboratory services, and dedicated isolation and recovery areas for animals requiring specialized medical attention.

"We've worked toward this goal for a long time, and reaching this stage is an important milestone for our organization," said Ron Perez, President and CEO of CGHS/SPCA. "Now we're asking the people who have supported our mission through the years to help us take the next step. Their generosity has always been the foundation of what we do."

Gifts to the Capital Campaign from individuals, families, businesses, and foundations will help create a brighter future for animals in our community. In recognition of major contributions, donors may be commemorated through permanent displays within the new facility or through naming opportunities associated with specific areas of the Center. These enduring recognitions celebrate generosity, honor cherished people and pets, and establish a lasting legacy of compassion that will inspire others for years to come.

“This campaign gives people the chance to leave a lasting legacy,” Perez added. “Every contribution made today will help us care for vulnerable animals, support families in need, and strengthen our community for generations to come.”
