A sustainable, modern shelter to serve Southwest Saskatchewan.
A sustainable, modern shelter to serve Southwest Saskatchewan.
The Stauber Family Memorial Animal Shelter will offer 10,000 sq/ft of modern space, accommodating our growing animal intake demands. Built to modern standards and incorporating best practices in animal care, the new shelter enhances the SPCA's amenities, better serving both the animals and the southwest community. This facility provides a safe, low-stress environment, improving animal health and increasing adoption rates. The Stauber Family Memorial Animal Shelter will give more animals a second chance as their last haven before they're homeward bound to their forever family.
