But the simple truth is every new stray or abandoned pet we get puts pressure on the limited space we have for others. From our experience over the years, only about 2 out of every 10 have the chance of finding homes with the kind people who turn up at our door.

The rest of the animals, sadly, are put to sleep.

It is not something we want any more than you do. We get about 800 animals every month, more than one animal every hour of the day, on average.

If you have decided to surrender an animal to us, please note that we are not able to inform you of the outcome.

Please help us avoid the SPCA from becoming a dumping ground for unwanted animals! There are alternatives to merely discarding an unwanted animal at the doors of the SPCA!
