New And Improved SPCA Donation Bin

The SPCA Donation Bin has a new location just directly to the right outside of Canadian Tire. It is still located in the Peninsula Mall. We are still looking for newspapers, canadian tire money, any dog and cat treats, blankets, toys for the animals. We also accept cleaning supplies. Also we collect any used printer cartridges, toners and any old cell phones not in use anymore. We also collect recyclables and if you have any they can be dropped off to the Green Depot and tell them you wanna donate it to the SPCA. Please remember to make sure the cans,plastics and glass bottles have the covers removed and they are cleaned.We wish to thank everyone over the years who have supported is and will hopefully continue to do so.

We’ve named this BIG boy Bear at the SPCA & he came to us as a stray from St.Lawrence. He’s friendly & seems to be healthy & we are wondering if someone is missing him? If you have any information regarding this big guy please call the SPCA right away at 891-8000

AT 120 DEGREES IN AUSTRALIA , IT WAS SO HOT FOR A WEEK THAT KOALAS
WERE ASKING PEOPLE FOR WATER. IT’S NEVER BEEN SEEN BEFORE.

Thanks Ms. Shelly. We wish we had koala bears in Newfoundland..

Check out the Facebook group just started to say NO on bringing the circus to town http://www.facebook.com/#!/group.php?gid=310813582825 Please join and sign your name. Then please contact your town council to tell them that we will NOT allow a circus in our town.

FREE GIFT? –> If you decide NOT to go to the circus and you want to teach your children that the circus is wrong, it is animal cruelty, please bring your child to the shelter for a visit. Bring along a donation of any kind and you will receive a free paw print charm. Get your picture taken with your donation to show your support and we will post it on line…. (This offer in non shelter related however your charm will be available at the shelter during the week of the circus if it ends up coming to our town..)

a big hello from Maggie Keeping..

I’m just chillin.
