Not every SPCA kills animals!!!! I work at an SPCA where we have the lowest euthanazia rate in Canada... and a close runner up to North Shore Animal Rescue League. Certain shelters euthanize simply because they dont know how to run their shelters. It also depends on where you live, how many animals are being surrendered everyday... and how supportive the community is. I would like to know if you send Animals to the veterinarian to have animals put down? The SPCA in St.John's Newfoundland DOES send animals to the vet to be destroyed. The SPCA does not destroy animals but they do send animals off to the vet to be destroyed. Right now in St.John's Newfoundland the SPCA has been responsible for trapping animals at a local dump site where these animals would have been better off and some of the cats that were on the dump would still be alive today if the SPCA had not removed these animals. The SPCA needs to remember that most of these animals belong in the wild. If animals are not adopted within a period of time the SPCA will have these animals destroyed. I had a cat by the name of Snap brought into the SPCA in St.John's Newfoundland and the SPCA sent him to the vet to be destroyed, so I am sick of seeing people from the SPCA claiming they don't put animals down because the SPCA does put animals down. I will never donate to the SPCA again and I am rallying with other people on the internet to protest against the SPCA to get the message out not to support the SPCA. The SPCA uses donated funds to destroy animals.
There are 15 animal shelters near Cincinatti, Ohio. The largest of these is the SPCA, located at 11900 Conrey, Rd., Cincinatti. Some of these also offer services for exotic animals and wildlife.
The SPCA uses volunteers for caring for the animals at their shelters. Girl Scout troops can purchase or make toys for the animals, run a donation drive for needed items, clean the shelter, or even just play with and exercise the animals. This helps the SPCA use their resources wisely!
Most shelters such as the SPCA or any dog shelter in Houston will take a Pit Bull and will kill the dog right away. The only shelter that accepts pitbulls and keeps them alive is Spindletop Pitbull Refuge: http://www.spindletoppitbullrefuge.org/
take it into a animal rescue centre, preferably one that never puts a healthy animal down, otherwise a perfectly good dog could die just because no-one will adopt it. otherwise, you could look after it, see if you could find it's owner if it ever had one, if not you could keep it as long as you look after it properly
they help sick or hurt dogs and cats and other pets.The SPCA is an animal welfare organization designed to provide no-kill shelters for homeless cats and dogs. They have foster and adoption programs, low cost veterinary services, and training programs to encourage healthy, long-term pet homes.
Scottish SPCA was formed in 1839 in Edinburgh, initially to protect the many horses used to convey goods and people around the country.
There are many animal shelters and rescue places within the city of Los Angeles. Look up your Yellow Pages and find which SPCA, Animal Hospital, or pet adoption agency is closest to your part of the city.
Due to the popularity of harm-free shelters, the numbers of shelters that allow killing is on the decline. Many states are gradually phasing out such shelters in favor of the more humane harm-free shelters.
In 2010 the Scottish SPCA received over 180,000 calls. The charity's animal helpline is 03000 999 999.
