On , we encourage Albertans to ensure their pet receives this important procedure and reduce the number of unwanted litters. If you adopt from a shelter, your adoption fee includes a spay or neuter surgery - .

We are in DIRE need of animal care volunteers to work regular shifts:

Sunday - close - 6 pm - 8:30 pm 1 or 2) - one will need to do meds & treatments

We are burning out the ones that come 2 -4 even 6 x a week.

We are losing animal care volunteers and need more to come in to work . Must be 18 years of age +. Our only other solution is to lower capacity of cats & dogs allowed in, so that 1 person can handle all in one shift.

Application to Volunteer for full shift is available to pick up at shelter or online at

Animal lovers can help the Claresholm animal shelter by telling other animal lovers about the value of pet adoption. Many people are unaware that there are healthy dogs and cats available for adoption that can be long-time, loving and happy companions.
