Rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming pets in need thanks to animal-lovers like you. We take in animals by appointment only so please call ahead. We can help.

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! You simply have to ca
ll 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 weather forecast calls for hot, humid weather this week. Please keep your best bud safe.
Your vehicle โ even with the windows down โ can quickly reach a temperature that puts your pet at risk of serious illness or death.
When the weather is warm, itโs best to leave your four-legged friend at home. If you canโt, 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 youโre unsure if an animal is in distress, call the Nova Scotia SPCA - Enforcement at 1-888-703-7722 and speak with the call-taker.
Did you know we have a College of Animal Welfare? And did you know we are accepting applications for our Veterinary Assistant (VA) program? ๐ค

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. โ๏ธ Here's how you can keep your pets safe all summer long:
๐ก Ensure your pet has access to fresh water and shaded areas.
๐ก Never leave pets in cars, even with cracked windows, as temperatures can rise quickly.
๐ก Take your pet out during the cooler parts of the day, such as early mornings or late evenings.
๐ก 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; itโs a lifeline that can provide security and peace of mind in an emergency, ensuring your petโs safety and well-being. ๐พ Find out more about Nova Scotia SPCA Pet Health Insurance plans here: www.spcanspetinsurance.ca โฌ

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 abusedโฆ 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.
