If you can provide the right home for them, you can adopt for just a donation/koha when you start the process by this Sunday, September 21st.
These wonderful animals have been waiting patiently for their special someone – could that be you? ? You might need to travel a bit further than your nearest SPCA Center, but we promise they're worth the journey.
Even though we’re waiving our standard adoption fees for our long-stays, every animal is desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, treated for fleas and worms – all ready to head home with you. Meet all of our long-stays on our site now!
