SPCA St.John's We are an adoptions-focused agency helping homeless cats, dogs and small animals find happy beginnings on Newfoundland's Avalon Peninsula. The SPCA St.

John’s vision is communities where animals thrive with respect, love and wellbeing. Thank you for considering adoption! Visitation with adoptable pets will remain by appointment only for approved adopters. (Reducing our visitors to approved adopters has proven to reduce the stress of our residents allowing potential adopters a better opportunity to get to know their match and has significantly red

uced the spread of disease). If you see an animal you are interested in please send an email to [email protected] and we will forward you an application. If your application is approved we will contact you via email or telephone to book an appointment. The mission of the SPCA St. John’s is to provide leadership, education and a consistent voice on matters that promote and improve the welfare of animals. We care for and shelter companion animals in need, prevent cruelty and encourage responsible pet ownership.

Our tripod Benny!

Husky Mix (Labrador Special)
4 months old!
13.5 kg =29.7 lbs (Expect him to grow larger!)

Benny came to us with a severely broken femur which would not heal on its own and needed veterinarian intervention. The vet opted into amputating his leg.
Animals, especially young puppies, recover from surgery so quickly! He had this amputation January 22nd and this video was taken today! Nothing is stopping this little spitball!
Lots of personality! Loves chew toys! Plays fetch and we’re working on sit and paw!
This pup is ready to live his best life!
Good with cats and dogs!

Sweet Tabby is another little angel that needs a retirement home!

Approx. 14 years old, she’s deaf and most certainly losing some of her eyesight. Her owner took extremely good care of her but unfortunately had to go into a facility that didn’t allow Tabby to tag along.
Tabby had bloodwork with us that came back with no issues. She’s still a happy purr box that loves to chirp for her food and enjoys a nice head scratch!
Tabby was the only pet in the household for many, many years so having her adjust to another pet in the home may be challenging. She has a sweet personality though and may come around to having some friends!

Shammy aka Sham-Wow is itching for a new home!

This lady is approx. 13 years old and full of biscuits! She is a long haired girlie but got a lion shave due to some mats she developed but she’s rocking this new hairdo!
She’s very affectionate, loves catnip mice toys and snuggling with her humans.
She has not interacted with any dogs here and has not lived with any dogs in the past.
She does okay with cats, as long as they are calm!

Meet Naya!

Breed: Retriever Mix
Age: 7 years
Weight: 33 kg

This pretty girl is available for Foster to Adopt as she is awaiting a health check with our veterinarian here in town. Please note that the approved adopters must be able to bring her to this appointment when it is booked by our staff.

Naya is a happy-go-lucky bundle of joy! She enjoys your company more than anything else. She loves to greet you with big kisses! Naya loves to keep her mouth busy with toys, treats, and holding her leash in her mouth during the walk to take you on an adventure.

Naya suffers from hyperthyroidism, which means she must take a daily medication. She also has a habit of trying to eat/swallow small objects such as rocks when on a walk. This can be easily managed with dog-proofing the home and wearing a muzzle during her walks. She has been doing good with muzzle training. She is highly treat motivated so would do well with training.

Naya loves her toys and her favorite game is tug-o-war, she is the best at it! She will trade them out for yummy treats.

Naya is able to live with another dog pending a meet. She can live with dog-savvy cats as long as a proper slow introduction is made.

Any amount is wonderful and will be put to great use! ♥️ Thank you so much everyone!

If you would like to donate from the comfort of home, we have an Amazon Wishlist linked below and your donations will be shipped right to our door.

Sweet little Max is up for adoption!

12 years old.
Terrier Mix.
9 kg = 19.8 lb
Surrendered through no fault of his own.

Sweet little Maxypoo has been in our care since November battling some skin issues that we think we’ve got a grasp on finally! He has been taking his medications like a good boy and his life has highly improved since being on it!
He will need to be on an allergy medication long term — this will be discussed with potential adopters.

He loves playing tug of war and cuddling next to you while watching tv! Eating treats is his favourite activity. He’s been in a foster home and they say he’s been an absolute joy to have. He loves to sleep a lot and is a really relaxed dog.
He loves humans and anyone that can give him some attention!

Let’s get this “young” man a retirement home!

Come join us this Saturday, February 8th at for our Puppy Meet & Greet and Adoption Event from 1:00pm - 4:00pm.

These puppies are ready for their new homes!

Applications will ONLY be available in person at the event, and we will be accepting a limited number of applications. We will not be accepting any applications prior to this event.

These babies are husky mixes from Labrador.
“Labrador Specials” we like to call them.
We do not know what they are mixed with and it will be hard to judge how large they will get when fully mature.
