Nova Scotia SPCA - Queens Foster

Nova Scotia SPCA - Queens Foster The Queens Branch was formed in 1994 and is a foster based branch that offers fostering, adoption and educational programs. We can help.
(4)

The Nova Scotia SPCA accepts animals into its care regardless of their age or health. We also follow no-kill principles which means we do not euthanize animals for space. Unexpected life situations happen and the SPCA strives to be approachable, non-judgemental and understanding. On average, healthy and friendly animals are adopted into loving families in less than two weeks! We take in animals by

appointment only so please call ahead. You simply have to call and arrange an appointment so the shelter can learn about what is the most suitable type of home for your pet. The appointment also allows the shelter to prepare a cozy space for your pet to make the transition as smooth as possible. We understand how difficult it is to surrender a pet and thank all owners who are able to make the best decision for their pet.

The author of this caption does one thing every single Thursday - calls 50/50 winners to tell them the furr-tastic news. There’s disbelief, joy, sometimes tears of happiness🤩

While these calls make our week, how did they start? Who are the people who actually make this happen? What are some of the stories behind fundraising using a raffle? 🤔

Well, we invited two people from the platform that makes this possible to tell us all about it. Elizabeth O’Hanley and Lee Dawson from Rafflebox are spilling some secrets in our newest PAW’dcast episode and we couldn’t be more excited for you to listen to it. 🤗

The weather forecast calls for hot, humid weather this week. Please keep your best bud safe.

Your vehicle – even with the windows down – can quickly reach a temperature that puts your pet at risk of serious illness or death.

When the weather is warm, it’s best to leave your four-legged friend at home. If you can’t, use the drive-through, curbside pickup, or visit pet-friendly businesses to avoid a potentially tragic outcome.

If you encounter an animal in a vehicle that appears to be in distress (exaggerated panting; anxious or staring expression; muscle tremors; lack of coordination; red or blue tongue and lips; convulsions; vomiting; or collapse), call 911 and stay with the animal until officers arrive.

If you’re unsure if an animal is in distress, call the Nova Scotia SPCA - Enforcement at 1-888-703-7722 and speak with the call-taker.

06/12/2024

As summer approaches, it's important to remember that hot weather can pose significant risks to our pets. From heatstroke to dehydration, pets are vulnerable to various health issues during the warmer months. ☀️ Here's how you can keep your pets safe all summer long:

🟡 Ensure your pet has access to fresh water and shaded areas.
🟡 Never leave pets in cars, even with cracked windows, as temperatures can rise quickly.
🟡 Take your pet out during the cooler parts of the day, such as early mornings or late evenings.
🟡 Consider getting pet insurance with Nova Scotia SPCA Pet Health Insurance to help with coverage for emergency care, ensuring your pet receives prompt and necessary care immediately.

Remember, taking preventative measures and having pet insurance isn't just a precaution; it’s a lifeline that can provide security and peace of mind in an emergency, ensuring your pet’s safety and well-being. 🐾 Find out more about Nova Scotia SPCA Pet Health Insurance plans here: www.spcanspetinsurance.ca ⬅️

It happened in the blink of an eye. One minute, the 7-year-old stray kitty was walking down the street. The next minute, he was airborne, having been grabbed by a large bird of prey. 🦅 His future looked bleak. Thankfully, the angels were watching and he got a second chance at life. Now, he spends his days safely indoors watching Cat TV, play-hunting with his dad, and snoring. 😻

🐶 Duke’s Story 🐶

I was heartbroken when my owner passed away. The bond we shared was so special. I lost my best friend. At first, I didn’t want to believe it was true. I thought if I stared at the door long enough, it would swing open, and I would see his bright smile once more. 💔

When I walked into the shelter, my head hung low. Just like people, pets mourn too. The staff and volunteers understood what I was going through. They would lay on the floor and comfort me. I never felt alone at the Nova Scotia SPCA.

Healing emotionally takes time, so they worked on my physical needs first. You see, my fur was severely matted. The medical team carefully shaved off all the painful bits. They fixed my hurt paw and treated my infected ears. 🩺 If you’ve lost a loved one, you know the pain never goes away. You always miss them. I spent months grieving and recovering.

101 days later… fate came calling. Just as I had hoped, the door swung open, but there were new faces. Their dog had passed away and they were devastated. We both lost a best friend. In that moment, I knew it was my mission to help this family.

We walked out of the SPCA with our heads held high – together. 🥰

The Nova Scotia SPCA is so much more than a shelter. They are all about second chances for pets and people. But more and more pets come to the SPCA with nowhere else to go. Some never had a home before. Others lost their loved ones. You can help today.

Right now, thanks to a generous donor, your donation will be doubled at www.novascotiaspca.ca/duke ⬅️

When you take advantage of this matching opportunity, your kindness will go twice as far. Please click the link to donate today. You will double your impact, double your love, and double the lives saved. Thank you for caring!

With thankful tail wags,
Duke | Proud SPCA Alumni 🐾

🌟 Special Message from the Matching Donor: “Adopting senior pets is so rewarding. When I met my kitty Toffee, she was skinny, matted, and came from a hoarding situation. Now, she spends her days finding the best sunbeams in the house. In Toffee’s honour, I promise to double your donations – up to $15,000. Let’s help more pets together!” – Ashley 🌟

Our Story

Proudly following open-admission and no-kill principles, the Nova Scotia SPCA is a registered charity that helps companion animals in need. Every year, more than 16,000 pets are helped through animal rescue, progressive programs, and rehoming opportunities.

Some pets were abandoned, injured, homeless or abused… but they all deserve a second chance.

We work one-on-one with them to rebuild their trust, fully vet them so they are safe and healthy, and give around-the-clock care until they find their forever family.

We do not receive any government funding for our shelters throughout the province. 100% of the money raised in each community stays in that community to help local pets in need. Donate today to make a difference here.
