Did you know?
The SPCA is made up of local volunteers.
We have recently entered into an agreement with the Town of Hay River to lease a building and property for our shelter! We will still be using foster homes for puppies and kittens. Also our foster homes will be taking the shelter animals home on occasion to help socialize and train them. We are hoping to start a walking program as well.
We are always looking for more Foster Homes in Hay River. Please call us if you would like to be one!
