Grand Opening!

We have moved into our new Animal Care Facility and it's time to celebrate! Join us at our Grand Opening took place on March 6th and a great time was had by all! Thank you for your support!

Thanks so much for being part of the Grand Opening of our new Animal Care Facility last Saturday! We appreciate your support!
Visit us at our new up-to-the minute blog which can be found at www.hintonspca.blogspot.com

Got Empties? We are always a great alternative if you wish to donate to support our four-legged friends. Your empty bottles, cans, and milk jugs can be dropped off in our blue bin near the front entrance of our shelter at your convenience if you wish to help out!

PLEASE NOTE that is unlawful to abandon animals at our shelter or anywhere else. Our security cameras have witnessed several such unauthorized 'drop-offs' recently which can be subject to legal prosecution. PLEASE be responsible with your pets and give them the benefit of a new, loving home found on your own accord. Animals abandoned at our shelter when we are over-loaded will be taken to the pound at which time their future becomes uncertain and criminal charges may be pursued toward those responsible.
Does your sweet canine friend need a bath? Well come by to use our new U-Bathe facility. For only $20 you save the mess in your bathroom and we provide the shampoo, conditioner, and towels! Call us for more information.

"Warm hearts for cold noses"

Our Dawg Eared Book and Used Pet Supply Outlet is now open! We have gently used books are $1 and we currently have both cat and dog crates, as well as leashes and blankets available for a nominal fee! Come on by to donate or check out our selection!

The Hinton & District S.P.C.A. is a Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Finding suitable homes for unwanted animals & re-uniting lost pets with their owners, the Hinton S.P.C.A. is a NO KILL shelter in the province of Alberta. Each year up to 60% of dogs & up to 70% of cats that enter shelters, will die because there is no one to adopt them. This is why the S.P.C.A. asks that you go to an animal shelter or rescue group in your community if you are ready to get a pet, and see all the great companions waiting to enter your life. We also offer boarding and bathing services.
New additions are being added to our family frequently. Come back often to find a pet waiting for you!
Our adoption program includes a 10-day money back policy. Be sure to ask us for more details.

The Hinton and District S.P.C.A. reserves the right to refuse an adoption to anyone who does not meet our criteria or who is under the age of 25. We also reserve the right to keep the reasons for refusal confidential within the organization.

Did you know that when you find (or lose) a dog or cat that you should contact Hinton Animal Control? The number is 865-5181. You can also contact Hinton Veterinary Clinic at 865-3866 to give/receive information on lost and found pets, and FOX Radio is also helpful at 865-8804. Your best bet is to make sure your dog or cat has a proper ID tag with their name and your phone number. This will help ensure a prompt return home with out the middle man or the fines!

Make Adoption Your First Option!!

Please note that animal drop-offs are allowed only at the discretion of the Manager and when arranged in advance. Our facility is of limited space and simply cannot accommodate dogs or cats without advanced notice and preparation. Also note that if approved, a drop-off fee of $100 is imposed. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do NOT abandon your animals at the S.P.C.A. or elsewhere. Such an act is illegal and subject to severe fines under the Animal Abandonment Act.

Boarding Services Available

Please note all bookings for boarding must be done through our Manager between the
hours of 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m., Monday to Friday.

Dogs can be boarded in indoor/outdoor kennels for $15/night or $25/night for two dogs
in the same kennel. Larger kennels for very big dogs or multiple dogs are $30/night.
We can also board your beloved cat for $10/night.

S.P.C.A), this one is an Animal Communicator who will help you become
more in-tune with your dog. She is also willing to help in exchange for donations
to the Hinton and District S.P.C.A. Cathy's email is bkbeyond@vianet.on.ca.
**Please do not confuse this address for any other S.P.C.A. matters than to make contact with the Animal Communicator. All other matters should be directed to our shelter.
