The Puglets

Of course we need to check-in with our Foster Friends here at the Brant County SPCA, and this week's road trip was to see our little "puglets" and give them their first set of vaccinations.

At 6 weeks old the five little beauties are doing great. Mom is already back at the shelter with more than one application for adoption already processed. Our foster friends here have done an amazing job of making sure these guys are happy, healthy and well socialized with humans and other pets.

Just look at those faces and tell us that you could resist! As well as the basics of care this foster family has gone above and beyond by getting getting them ready for life as a big dog. They have been groomed by having their hair cut and nails trimmed, they are almost house trained with just an accident here and there, and next they will be working on crate training.

No matter who adopts these beauties they will be getting an amazing dog, saving a life, and making all that hard work our foster friends have put into these little guys well worth it. It will be a bit before they are ready to find their next home applications are being accepted now so if you are interested please make sure you contact the shelter. We will continue to follow these little guys through their spay/neuter, micro chipping, vaccines and of course their slobbers and playtime too.

Another Special Case - Charlie

Okay he might be more refined than a 'Charlie' he might just be a 'Charles'! No matter what his name is this another special case for us at the Brant County SPCA.
This sweet 10 year old, Shih Tzu mix has cataracts in both eyes and the vets believe that he has no sight left at all. We have given him a great grooming, he has had some dental work taken care of and he has no adoption fee.

Charlie is a happy boy, and is a bit of a suck for a good cuddle session. He seems to adjust well to his environment, and staff who have been working with him believe that he would be great with children because of his good disposition.

We want this pooch to find a home, and if you believe that you have the right place for him then give us a call at 519.756.6620. If you don't have a place then do us a favor and pass this onto a friend, you never know who may be looking for their next perfect pet!

Spring is here and shelter is at capacity.

Anyone who has been around shelter life knows that spring is "kitten season", and that is no excetpion as spring arrives in Brantford and Brant County. As a result the shelter has reached its capacity for felines and is once again offering waived adoption fees for those cats in our adoption area.

Tate, Tori and Thomas are just a few of those waiting for a home away from the shelter. So many of the cats waiting have unique and wonderful personailities.

We are also asking the public to be pro-active and call ahead before bringing in stray cats or cats they wish to surrender as cage space depends on daily adoptions. 

And don't forget with our Meet Your Match program finding your new friend is as easy as filling out a survery. Our cats are stay neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and ready for you to come take them home!
