A note about food donations to the Moncton SPCA

While the Moncton SPCA greatly appreciates all food donations we receive, we may not always be able to use what is provided.

We try very hard to give the animals the best care that we can while in our facility. Part of this means keeping them on a consistent diet as much as possible. Providing different brands of food than what the animals are normally used to can lead to upset stomachs, diarrhea and possible allergic reactions.

We are fortunate to have Iams sponsor the pets who are already up for adoption. We do, however, rely on donations to feed the animals waiting for their chance at adoption or who are being housed with us for other reasons. If you wish to help these animals, we ask that you choose a food that we can use such as Pedigree dry dog food, Iams dry food (both cat and dog), canned dog food and canned cat food (beef or chicken - no seafood).
 
That being said, any food that we receive is put to use. We do not throw away food. We share with other organizations, help the pet food bank, ca-r-ma, the Atlantic Wildlife Institute and local families who are unable to feed their pets.

Thank you, Hartz!

Coppers for Critters: A penny drive in support of the Moncton SPCA

The Coppers for Critters penny drive currently underway is raising funds for the construction of 14 new dog kennels, thus allowing us to house, rehabilitate and hopefully adopt out many more animals each year.

The project will cost approximately $12,000, which equates to approximately 8,000 lb of pennies. Many people simply throw away their pennies or consider them to be worthless. We're hoping that you'll throw them into our collection pails instead! Every penny collected will get us that much closer to our goal.
