Meet Poppy, a five-month-old mixed-breed pup who weighs 17 kg (about 37 lbs). She’s cheerful, sweet, and ready for fun! This playful girl adores people, gets along well with other dogs, and is gently curious about cats. Poppy was adopted as a tiny puppy, but she came back to us through no fault of her own. Now, she’s looking for a new loving home to call her own. If you want a lively friend who will fill your days with laughter, come visit Poppy at the Saskatoon SPCA!

We wanted to quickly feature four of the amazing dogs waiting for their forever homes at the Saskatoon SPCA. Meet Fang, a sweet 4-month-old Shepherd mix with lots of playful energy. Tails is our 1-year-old Pitbull mix who loves to run around and cuddle. Pepe is a gentle 3-year-old mixed breed who’s been waiting the longest and can’t wait to meet you. And say hello to Cocomelon, a 2-month-old puppy who is learning new tricks every day.

Thank you to everyone who visited the shelter during the holidays. Last week, from December 30 to January 5, we found homes for 8 cats and 3 dogs! We know this season can be busy, so we are extra thankful for families who chose to adopt. You have made a big difference for these pets!

Meet Kevin and Pedro, two sweet, three-month-old guinea pigs looking for a loving home. Guinea pigs thrive with companions, so we’d like them to stay together as a bonded pair. Kevin is outgoing and will “wheek” for treats when it’s snack time. He loves exploring and meeting new faces. Pedro is shy at first, but with patience and gentle care, he is warming up and enjoying interaction. These playful buddies promise to bring laughter and squeaks into your life. If you’re ready for double the fun, reach out today!

Happy Sunday from the Saskatoon SPCA! We’re excited to launch our new Alumni Stories feature.

Meet Roy, a two-year-old border collie mix adopted in February 2023 by one of our staff members. He serves as her Emotional Support Animal and competes in dog sports, too. Roy has done well in several events and is a wonderful reminder that shelters are a great place to find both loving companions and skilled sport dogs.

Each Sunday, we’ll share tales from families who have adopted pets from our shelter. If you have a heartwarming update, please send it—along with photos—to [email protected]. Our staff loves seeing how former residents are thriving, and we may share your story on social media or in our newsletter!

Join us for our Shelter Garage Sale! We’ve been lucky to receive so many donations that we can share gently used pet items and more with you.

This sale helps us:
- Rotate newer items to the animals in our care.
- Find new homes for items we get in large amounts, like fish, reptile, and pocket pet supplies.
- Make room for critical supplies, such as food and health care items.

Every dollar raised goes toward important animal care expenses, so you’ll be helping pets in need with every purchase. We’ll also donate any unsold items to northern rescues and community foster groups.

Date: Saturday, January 11, 2025
Time: 10 a.m. – 3 p.m.
Location: Community Room – Saskatoon SPCA (2250 Hanselman Ave)

January is National Train Your Dog Month! This is a great time to explore positive reinforcement, which means rewarding good actions instead of punishing mistakes. We will offer weekly tips through the month to help you train your dog (or any animal). Research in animal behavior shows that pets learn faster and feel calmer when they earn treats, praise, or fun playtime for doing the right thing. The Saskatoon SPCA recommends this approach because it helps build trust and lowers stress for the animal. By highlighting your pet’s successes, you create a safe learning space that makes training fun—and forms a stronger bond for the future.

Meet Pepe Le Pew, a 3-year-old black and tan mixed breed who has been at the shelter for almost a month and we have no idea why nobody has taken this love monster home. He is a bigger guy - he weighs around 35kg (77lbs). He loves attention and will paw at your leg for extra pets. He is housetrained - he really enjoys his daily walks. He isn’t suited for a home with cats, but he’s eager to meet new dog and people friends. We aren’t sure why he hasn’t been adopted yet, so come visit and see how sweet he is! Pepe will be your new best friend.

Meet Tails, a 1-year-old pitbull-type mix who adores people and other dogs. She’s full of energy and needs a patient home to help her learn good manners. Tails has spent most of her young life in a shelter, which has led to kennel stress—this happens when a dog lives in a shelter for too long, often causing anxiety and restlessness. With positive reinforcement training, a stable environment, and some patience, Tails will learn to relax and become a fabulous friend for you. Visit the Saskatoon SPCA today to learn more about Tails and see if she’s the perfect match for you!

You may have heard, the Government of Canada announced that the deadline for making donations eligible for a 2024 charitable tax receipt has been extended from December 31, 2024 to February 28, 2025. This extension aims to mitigate the impact of the recent Canada Post strike.

The holiday season is traditionally a time when we receive the majority of our community's generous support, allowing us to care for animals throughout the coming year. However, this year has been particularly challenging due to the postal strike, which has significantly reduced the number of donations we usually see during this critical time.

Like many charities, we rely heavily on this season to sustain our operations. With inflation driving up the cost of essential supplies and medical care for the animals in our care, your support is needed more than ever.

We’re grateful that the deadline has been extended and hope that those who have not been able to make their donation will consider sending it in.

Together, we can overcome these challenges and give every animal the second chance they deserve. Thank you for standing with us during this time.

To donate online see link in the comments below.

Happy New Year, Saskatoon! We’re excited to share our progress in 2024. We moved into our new shelter, found homes for 441 dogs, 956 cats, 10 rabbits, and 11 small mammals, for a total of 1,418 adoptions! We helped 300 cats and 73 dogs whose owners could no longer care for them. We partnered with 11 organizations and rescues across Saskatchewan to take in 422 cats and 327 dogs.

Thank you for standing with us and helping make 2024 a success. Here’s to an even brighter 2025!

Adoptable dog Charlie loves the snow.

Super fun times at Dog Day of Summer! The pups are enjoying the pool and grounds while their owners are enjoying hot dogs (or veggie dogs) and treats at the Saskatoon SPCA BBQ Fundraiser.

We’re so happy that Flip found his perfect forever home. His life before coming to us wasn’t an easy one - but now he gets to be spoiled and loved for the rest of his days 🥰 #dogsofinstagram #dogrecovery #dogrescue #dogs #fosteringsaveslives

Lenny wants to wish everyone a happy August long, and remind everyone to stay cool and keep your pets cool this weekend! (Lenny is a staff pet and NOT up for adoption) #kunekunepig #pigstagram #longweekendvibes #longweekend

Did you know our new website is up and running? Inlet approves of it! #kittens #kittensofinstagram #adoptme

Kitty (yes, that is really is her name), REALLY wants you to notice her! #adoptdontshop #adopt #adoptme #rescuedismyfavouritebreed #waitingforaforeverhome

Meet Reggie! Reggie is a very special boy who LOVES other animals, he does great with anything from cats to dogs and everything in between. Reggie is still a nervous dog, but has made amazing progress in his foster home! He is looking for someone who will be patient with him as he adjusts to his new environment. Once he feels safe, he will be your shadow, your best friend, and the most loyal companion you could imagine! *he will be remaining in foster care until he is adopted, if you would like to meet Reggie please call the shelter or fill out an application online so that we can arrange a time with his foster mom! #adoptme #rescuedog #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #dogs

Happy Sunday - today seems like a great day for a PUPDATE! This is Dorothy (or Dottie), she was adopted almost 3 months ago and is now living her best muddy farm life - although her mum isn't thrilled about all the mud on her beautiful white fur (or all the mud she tracks into the house). #greatpyreneespuppy #adoptdontshop #shelterdog #dogsofinstagram #puppylove #farmlife

This is Howard, Howard LOVES catnip! Stop by and visit Howard and our other funny felines during our open adoption hours! #cat #catnip #KittenSeason #rescuecats

Smurgling -is it a thing? Flipper the Saskatoon SPCA 3 legged, polydactyl shelter cat is an expert smurgler. Some people call it making biscuits or kneading bread but the Urban Dictionary definition of smurgle is: a singularly feline display of affection. The kneading, purring, nuzzling, salivating that accompanies feline affection.

🎉 Happy National Pet Day! 🐾 Today, we honor the unconditional love, companionship, and joy our pets bring into our lives every day. Whether they're wagging their tails, purring contentedly, or showering us with affectionate licks, our furry friends remind us of the beauty of unconditional love. If you're looking for another furry companion, Sandra and Shrek (featured in the video) are available for adoption! These social and playful 9-week old pups have spent the last few weeks in foster care and are now ready to find their forever homes. During their time in foster care, Shrek (black & brown), and Sandra (light brown) have been socialized with other dogs, cats, pigs, livestock, and even small animals like ferrets. To learn more about them, visit our website, give us a call, or stop in during our open hours. *Lenny the pig is not available for adoption, although we do appreciate all the hard work he puts into raising foster puppies!
