One of the SPCA’s core activities is its pet rescue, rehabilitation, and adoption program, effectively giving animals a second chance in life. Pets of all sorts, even if mainly cats and dogs, come to the SPCA for a variety of reasons, oftentimes at no fault of their own. The SPCA rescues animals by offering surrender options, accepting and collecting stray animals, and intervening in animal cruelty cases. Some of these animals are happy-go-lucky pets whilst others may have experienced physical and/or trauma of varying degrees. These animals need extra attention, whether it be medical intervention or behavioral modification.  

The SPCA believes that giving these animals an opportunity to find a loving home is worth every home check, meet and greet, and consultation leading up to successful adoption. We put a lot of emphasis on people meeting their right match; we all have different preferences and we want to help adopters make the right choice for them and their family, and on the flip-side, ensure a good match for the pet too.

 

Choosing to adopt an animal makes a direct difference in the life of that animal, and former shelter cats and dogs make up some of the most loving family pets. Not only does it make a world of difference for that one animal, but the adopter can be assured that the animal will have at least one vaccine (if not more), be sterilized, and have been given de-parasitical treatments. The staff consulting on the adoptions know the animals well and can give lots of information on the personality, the likes and dislikes of the pet, and temperament to guide potential adopters in how the animal might fit in with their family and their lifestyle.
