“Oh no our scales are BROKEN ! “ 😳

Turns out Franco & Nelson are 20% fluff , 30% wiggle, and 50% 'nope, not today!'

We could really use some working scales to get real numbers. 😅 If any kind souls or vet clinics out there are upgrading or changing their scales, we would be so grateful for any donations! 🙏

Help us keep these pups healthy (and maybe save our backs from guessing their weight)!

Jimbo Needs Your Love and Support 💔

Our dear **Jimbo** is battling two painful lumps, and surgery isn’t an option due to the risk.

We’re committed to keeping him as comfortable as possible, but his future is uncertain.

Jimbo is a senior dog who has given so much love over the years. If you’re considering adopting an older dog, please don’t overlook them during their vulnerable years.

Senior dogs still have so much to offer and deserve a chance to live out their golden years with care and affection. The love they give in return is immeasurable.

Please keep Jimbo in your thoughts and send him all the love and positive vibes you can as we wait for the results of his Biopsy 🔬.

He means the world to us, and every bit of compassion makes a difference. If you would like to support Jimbo get through this difficult time please consider a sponsorship for dear Jimbo 🙏🧡

RESPECT FOR EVERY LIVING BEING

In every paw, a heart so true,
With gentle eyes, they trust in you.
They ask for care, a tender hand,
A safe, warm place to make their stand.

Respect their lives, both great and small,
For in this world, there's room for all.
Though forms may differ, hearts align,
In love and life, all creatures shine.

Acceptance grows when we embrace,
Each being's worth, each soul's own space.
Treat them with kindness, let them be,
In every life, there's dignity.

🌿May we take this opportunity to please remind those celebrating through floriana and Valletta to kindly not forget that our shelter is a place for recovery and NOISE 🔊
can be harmful 🙏

Thank you 💛

Love ,

Franco 🐕

Ava, at just 11 months old, has already faced many challenges 💔

Rescued from a field alongside her three siblings,
she’s the only one who hasn’t yet found a home.

Despite her rough start, Ava is full of potential
and just needs the right person to help her build confidence and trust in people.

MSPCA is dedicated to finding that special someone who can provide her with a stable, loving environment.

Ava’s ideal home would be with someone patient and compassionate, who understands her unique needs and is ready to guide her through this next chapter of her life.

Adopting Ava isn’t just about giving her a home—

it’s about offering her a fresh START and the chance to truly thrive with the love and support she’s been missing 💛

If you would like to reach out for Ava ,
Please contact us for a matching form 🙏💌

WHEN EFFECTIVE COLLABORATIONS WORK .

The MSPCA has noticed a rise in pet surrenders, particularly from low-income families struggling to support themselves and their pets.

Many of these pets arrive in poor health, as their owners face significant financial hardships. Often, pet owners prioritize feeding their animals, even if it means compromising their own nutrition, resulting in malnutrition.

In response to this growing concern, the MSPCA has partnered with M&Z , sponsoring 80 animals , for the first three months to provide support. Together, we have launched an initiative to supply pet food to individuals who rely on the Foodbank Lifeline, ensuring that pets in vulnerable, VETTED households receive proper nutrition, easing the burden on their owners and reducing the number of surrendered pets.

Moving forward , the MSPCA are looking for additional sponsors to carry this initiative forward .

If you are interested in supporting this cause please contact the MSPCA on [email protected]

🙏💛

Foodbank feeds 250 to 300 families a week, 60 per cent of who own pets

MSPCA’s CALL FOR INCREASED INTERVENTION AND IMPROVED PROTOCOLS.

🇲🇹L-appell tal-MSPCA għal interventi u protokolli mtejba biex jindirizzaw każijiet ta' abbuż fuq l-annimali, b'mod partikolari fil-kuntest ta' rogue breeders, jenfasizza l-isfidi kontinwi fl-infurzar tal-ħarsien tal-annimali. Is-salvataġġ ta' 20 kelb f'Birkirkara mid-Dipartiment tal-Ħarsien tal-Annimali jitfa' dawl fuq il-kwistjoni tat-trobbija tal-annimali domestiċi mhux regolata biżżejjed, fejn il-liġijiet attwali jippermettu lil dawk li jrabbu joperaw mingħajr ebda sorveljanza.

It-tħassib tal-MSPCA huwa doppju: li niżguraw li l-annimali jitneħħew minn ambjenti ta' ħsara u jingħataw ċans għal futur aħjar, iżda wkoll jippromwovu liġijiet u regolamenti aktar stretti u ġusti li jittrattaw l-annimali bħala esseri sentenzjenti aktar milli sempliċi proprjetà. Il-prattika li l-annimali jinżammu bħala evidenza waqt li jiżvolġu l-proċedimenti legali, ħafna drabi twassal biex l-annimali jinżammu fil-limbu, li jista' jkun ta' detriment għall-ġid tagħhom.

Fir-rigward tal-investigazzjonijiet u l-akkużi f'każijiet bħal dawn, huwa kruċjali li l-awtoritajiet mhux biss ineħħu l-annimali minn ambjenti ta' ħsara iżda wkoll jiħdu azzjoni legali kontra dawk responsabbli għall-allegat abbuż. Proċessi legali effettivi li jżommu lit-trasgressuri responsabbli u jżommuhom milli jkomplu tali prattiki huma meħtieġa biex jipproteġu l-annimali minn ħsara futura. L-enfasi tal-MSPCA fuq il-ġustizzja għall-annimali sfruttati tissuġġerixxi ħtieġa għal riformi leġiżlattivi li jiżguraw trattament f'waqtu u ġust tal-annimali u jimponu penali sinifikanti fuq dawk li jiksru l-liġijiet dwar il-ħarsien tal-annimali.

Ir-riżultat tal-konfiski huwa mod tajjeb ħafna biex jitkejjel kemm is-sistema attwali tindirizza b'mod effettiv kwistjonijiet bħal dawn u jekk hemmx lakuni li jridu jimtlew biex jiġu żgurati l-ġid u l-ġustizzja għall-annimali involuti.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿The MSPCA’s call for increased interventions and improved protocols in dealing with cases of animal abuse, particularly in the context of rogue breeders, highlights the ongoing challenges in animal welfare enforcement. The rescue of 20 dogs in Birkirkara by the Animal Welfare Department shines a light on the issue of under-regulated pet breeding, where current laws allow breeders to operate without any oversight.

The MSPCA’s concern is twofold: ensuring that the animals are not just removed from harmful environments and given a chance for a better future, but also advocating for stricter laws and regulations that treat animals as sentient beings rather than mere property. The practice of holding animals as evidence while legal proceedings unfold, often results in the animals being kept in limbo, which can be detrimental to their well-being.

Regarding investigations and charges in such cases, it is crucial that authorities not only remove animals from harmful environments but also pursue legal action against those responsible for the alleged abuse. Effective legal processes that hold offenders accountable and prevent them from continuing such practices are necessary to protect animals from future harm. The MSPCA's emphasis on justice for exploited animals suggests a need for legislative reforms that ensure timely and fair treatment of animals and impose meaningful penalties on those who violate animal welfare laws.

The outcome of confiscations is great way to measure how effectively the current system addresses such issues and whether there are gaps that need to be filled to ensure welfare and justice for the animals involved.
