I ♥ the Burin Peninsula SPCA

Hi there everyone at the Burin SPCA!!!

We cannot tell you how much fun we’ve had since we adopted Hope. (Her new name is “Puss Puss” compliments of Alexis:) She is fiitting in quite perfectly and has already found her favorite places to sleep and of course hide. I know it has only been a day but I wanted to send you some pictures to let you know she is doing well because she was pretty scared and confused when we left with her.

Thanks,

Laura and Alexis

Buddy is 1yr old labx male. Owner is moving.
Interested can call Lillian Saunders at 832-1065

The kids at Jamieson are showing their generosity again! This time the Grade 4 classes have collected food, treats, toys, and blankets for the shelter. The kids posed with some of their donations along with shelter volunteer Karolynn and Obie (currently at the shelter). Obie was delighted to meet the kids! With the items donated today we can provide warm beds, full tummies and toys for playtime so a big THANK YOU to the Grade 4 classes for helping us help our shelter babies!!

The SPCA are looking for donations for our upcoming yard sale to be held in July/09.
Anyone wishing to donate can drop their items off at the shelter. Date for yard sale to be announced later.

Do you have a gift in the back of your closet that you don’t want, don’t need or really hate? Shhhhhhh… Quietly donate it to the Burin SPCA. We’ll take your regifting with a smile… We use your gifts for our online auctions. Every cent we raise will go directly to the shelter. There is no overhead taken out for the volunteers to run the auction. We don’t have to pay for a building space because we have it on line…. You can happily know that with your donation, 100% of the money raised will help out an animal. How awesome is that?

Want to donate? contact Lisa at 891-4146 or 891-1003 or drop off an item at the shelter with your name, phone number and if you want to donate it in memory of someone or if you wish to remain anonoymus….

Thank You
A big thank you to Petro Canada for donating $500.00 through Steven Whittle for his volunteer work at the shelter. Shown in the picture is Stevens son Loran giving the cheque to SPCA Member and volunteer Tina Baker.

Hello everyone,
Just thought that I would give you an update on Cleo, who has now been named Macy.
She has settled in like she has always been here. She loves everyone and is one of the friendliest cats I have ever been around. She loves watching tv and when you are on the laptop she is constantly chasing after the arrow. She likes to nap on the back of our couch and has more toys to play with than the kids I think!
She is going to visit the Vet on Friday so I hope all turns out well there. Will let you know either way! I am sending along a few pics to show you how well she is doing.
Thanks!
The Walsh’s

I am chilling out on my sofa, taking in all the sun from the window.
Halo is growing very fast and being her usual self, we have a small sponge soccer ball that we throw and she runs after it and brings it back like a dog would do, it is amazing if you see it…

A dog gave birth to puppies near the road and was cited for littering.

To the Public:

It has come to our attention that there have been objections regarding our adoption process and the length of time it takes to adopt an animal from the Burin SPCA.

For the adoption process (the application and adoption contract) we would like to remind everyone that the process helps us to determine not only the best person(s) to adopt a particular animal but also helps us to determine if that animal will fit into that home. Most of the animals that come to us are unwanted and unloved and we want to make sure that when we adopt them into a family that it’s a good fit for everyone, where people and pets will be happy together.

We are aware that there has been a problem with the length of time it takes to process an application and we are working to address this issue and hope to speed up the process. That being said it may still take up to 3-5 days depending on the availability of an applicant’s references/landlord etc.

Our goal it to match people and pets. We hope that by addressing the concerns raised by the public that we will be better able to achieve this goal.
