We did our puppy spay here and the staff were very friendly, it saved us a bundle compared to our local vet. They provided a onsie to help keep her incision safe as she healed. Our puppy had a reaction to her sutures and I took her back for a follow up where they did a full exam gave me all the information I needed and didn’t even charge me. I highly recommend them they are great!

They are amazing and so nice. Both my dogs were more comfortable here then in any other vet we have been to. Thankyou so much. ❤️

We recently adopted two wonderful dogs, Muffin and Daisy, from the SPCA shelter, and the experience was truly exceptional! As first-time adopters, we were a bit nervous about visiting a shelter, but the staff made us feel right at home. Everyone was friendly, patient, caring, and deeply compassionate, showing their genuine love for the animals in their care.

A special shout-out to Cassandra and Avery for their outstanding customer service! They went above and beyond to answer all our questions with warmth and expertise, making the adoption process seamless and stress-free. They even took the time to share helpful tips on settling Muffin and Daisy into their new home, which made the transition so much smoother.

The shelter itself was clean, well-organized, and clearly focused on the animals’ well-being. We could see how much love and effort the entire team puts into ensuring every pet is cared for and ready to find their forever home. Thank you, Cassandra, Avery, and the entire SPCA team, for making this such a memorable and joyful experience. We’re beyond grateful for our new companions and highly recommend this shelter to anyone looking to adopt!

My daughter adopted a dog from there. The dog has many health issues and is very aggressive towards other dogs. He is a red zone aggressive dog. SPCA should make sure before the adoption to make sure the dogs being adopted are healthy and trained . This is unacceptable. You should be ashamed.

We came in to see about adopting a cat. They were clearly very shortstaffed that particular day (an illness is going round)
I was unsure of what I wanted, and I had no clear direction which makes the process longer. Each staff we encountered were great; they were admittedly a little overwhelmed but that didn’t diminish the great service we got. Our new little girl, Francis, is awesome and appeared to be very well taken care of and well set up (we ended up being in several rooms during our visit and all the animals were so well taken care of, very clean etc)
At first, it may appear to be expensive to Adopt a cat, but in the end, what we received (much more than expected or even hoped for)
for the price we paid was not something you could even begin get if those services were individualized.
Thank you for the great service and care you provide.
Just a note, Francis came from a Kenora clinic (due to fires there) so she had potentially been through a lot. There was a note specific to the new owners of Francis asking us to please contact them when she got settled with us and let them know how she’s doing, and they could provide a little more detail on her original situation. Everything that must be going on up there and they want to know about each specific animal. I don’t know what to say, but exceptional all the way around!

A friend's healthy friendly dog was sitting on its own driveway. A person not from the area comes by and takes the dog to SPCA without knocking on the door. It cost the owner stress, as SPCA called but did not tell them the dog was okay. And it cost them money and time to get the dog back. Poor little dog what a terrible day for him. Who does this?

Keep up the good work! Excelent protocols in place and lovely facility for our furry ones. Will always recommend people around me to adopt at any SPCA, but especially this one.

They were so insightful about the best ways to approach adopting a cat. They take care of the animals as best as they can. I went there on Saturday and Sunday I came home with a cat I adore. I don't regret going to them for help because they will insure you a good rate with shots and spay/neuter costs included. Plus they have some good offers that help out first time pet owners with costs.
