The SPCA St. John's is an adoption-focused agency helping homeless cats and dogs find happy beginnings. We also work, encourage, and assist with spaying and neutering across the Avalon Peninsula, helping make animal homelessness a thing of the past. The mission of the SPCA St. John’s is to provide leadership, education and a consistent voice on matters that promote and improve the welfare of animals. We care for and shelter companion animals in need, prevent cruelty and encourage responsible pet ownership. We are a leader in preventing pet overpopulation as the first shelter in Newfoundland and Labrador to spay and neuter all our animals prior to adoption. Our low-cost spay and neuter program and our PUP program has assisted members in the community to join us in fighting overpopulation. None of it would be possible without donations from our supporters. In 2022 we helped 941 cats, 306 dogs, 4 rabbits, and 2 guinea pigs find their forever homes.  Along with giving them all the necessary medical treatment they needed.
