Quincy

Quincy is a 2 year old, female, 53lbs, shepherd cross. 

When Quincy arrived at our faciality she was pregnant and covered in white paint. She was rescued and transferred to us by Second Chance Animal Rescue before she would have been forced to have her puppies outside in -35 temperatures. She had her puppies on Christmas morning and ensured they were well fed, clean and healthy until they were old enough to be adopted. Her pups have all found their forever homes and now it is Quincy's turn. Since living at the SPCA we have learned a lot about Quincy. She is extremely loving with people and walks excellent on leash. She would need to go to a home were she would be the only pet in the household.

She is a friendly girl who is exuberant about life in general and loves people however she would do best in an only dog home.

Currently Nala is busy learning her basic manners and commands. Nala would thrive in an experienced dog home with a large yard that would be willing to continue working with her. 

Badger

 This super friendly and energetic boy is Badger! He is about 4 years old, weights 59 pounds and came to us as a Hinton stray. He would make a great companion dog because he loves people. Badger is working on his leash manners so he can be a great hiking partner for some lucky human! Badger would love an active home or a home with a large yard.

Tiny

Introducing Tiny! He is humorously named Tiny as he is a 90lbs Mastiff cross. This three year old teddy bear needs a home that can devote time into daily exercise and mental stimulations, otherwise this goofy guy will find other ways to entertain himself.  He knows sit, loves treats and would be best suited for an acreage  or an active home!

The Board of the Hinton and District SPCA

Boarding policy clarification

The Board was forced to raise the boarding fees two months ago because of the increase in minimum wage. Upon reviewing our boarding fee structure it was decided to implement a boarding check out policy. Boarding check out is now by 11:00 a.m. daily. If you pick up your pet after 11:00 you will be charged for the day.  A check out time enables SPCA staff to clean kennels prior to the end of shift.

Sponsorship: Can't adopt? Want to help?

We have decided to offer sponsorships of the pets in our care.  Many people can't adopt a pet but they would like to support one.  By sponsoring a pet you can help pay some of the costs of the care of the dogs or cats in the care of the SPCA.

How does it work?

For a $25 donation you can sponsor a dog or cat of your choice for the duration of its stay at the SPCA. Your name will appear under the animal's picture on the blog, on the animal's kennel and on Facebook with the animal from time to time.  It can be a personal name or a company name. If you don't want your name listed it can be recorded as anonymous.

Only one sponsor per animal and first come-first sponsored. Sponsorship can be done by dropping into the SPCA between 9-1 and 6:30-8:30 daily or by calling the SPCA with your credit card.

If you have any questions please email Cathy at caththom2000@yahoo.com.

Volunteer Opportunities

The SPCA is currently looking for assistance with bottle sorting.  The volunteering includes moving bottles in the SPCA van (you must have a driver's license) to the bottle depot, sorting and counting bottles.  Some bags and boxes are heavy so a good back is an asset. Hours are flexible. If you are interested please contact Cathy at 780.817.1075.

Bottle Drive

The SPCA is holding our annual bottle drive but we are doing it a little differently this year.  We are asking  that people with a small amount of bottles drop them at the SPCA at their convience.  For larger loads pick up can be arranged by calling Cathy at 780.817.1075.

The SPCA uses bottle money to help pay for veterinary care, including spays and neuters for the animals in our facility. 

Got Pennies?

The Bank of Canada may not want pennies but we do!  If you have pennies that you would like to donate we would gratefully accept them.  Don't worry about rolling them, we'll do that. They can be dropped off at the SPCA during regular business hours 9-1 and 6:30-8:30 daily.
