Gimme shelter 2012 a tradition of love

We are all aware that animals need help. They cannot speak, or express themselves… The SPCA Laurentides Labelle protects them and has been their voice for many years. Without a fixed income, it is the giving and volunteering which ensure that the SPCA LL manages to provide them with the love and care they need. 

We rely on your donations and your presence this year to support our mission and our mandate to help abandoned, abused and neglected animals in the region. You can rest assured that your contribution will be used wisely. As this event is organized primarily by volunteers, nearly 95% of the funds we collect is used for the daily operations of our adoption center (rent, food, sterilization of all animals, veterinary care, inspection program, wages…).

• Is asked regularly to help to capture and recover from negligent owners, dogs and cats requiring appropriate care during the owner trials and for pet adoption.
• Performs inspections and enforces law P-42 on the territory of five MRCs. This responsibility allows us to educate people, to improve animal welfare but sometimes results in seizures from negligent owners.
• Is involved in the community by providing volunteer programs for young offenders as well as active retirees.
• De-worms, sterilizes and vaccinates all animals on site, in its veterinary treatment room. The help of a veterinarian and veterinary technicians ensures that animals receive the care they need quickly when found injured or sick.
• Answers all the basic needs of animals in our facility (litter and cages cleaned daily according to high standards, pens of the appropriate size for both cats and dogs, food given in sufficient quantity and daily exercise through 3 outings per day provided by our generous volunteers for dogs, and access to external enclosures for cats…).
• Provides the best chance of adoption, without discrimination or time limit for the animals waiting to be adopted by a family.
• Our adoption counselors perform an adequate assessment of the animals and encourage a proper match between the guardian and their future faithful companion, because for us the human-animal bond is important, as an animal is adopted for life…
