Thanks to everyone who voted for us, we are to be the beneficiary of this great event. To be held at the Swift Current Mall on June 2nd 9am-5pm, Cypress Motors will donate $20 to the shelter for each person who test drives one of their vehicles. We will have a BBQ from 11am to 2pm and will be handing out balloons and much more. It is the easiest $20 you can ever get for our shelter, and you get to drive a nice new vehicle! Don’t miss it!
Here’s how to get the best out of Kong toys – dogs love ‘em, and here are some tasty recipes that your dog will enjoy! Check out the article here.
Let’s face it, not every animal would be a good fit for you. But we’ve also seen some unexpected matches of the most unlikely pets and people. Hence our Test Drive program. Ok, so you don’t actually drive them, but we think you know what we mean – take your potential pet home and see how things work out. Give it a fair go – don’t expect too much too soon. And if it doesn’t work out, bring them back to us with no hard feelings – we want them to go to the right home, both for the animal and the humans. So if you’re looking for a furry Ferrari or a purring Porsche, we have several racey models on the lot now. Why not drop by for a test drive?
If your reading this on our website, the chances are you’re an animal lover, just like us. But perhaps you can’t adopt a Shelter animal just yet? There are many ways you can still help. How about volunteering at the Shelter? Interact with the cats and kittens, take the dogs for a walk – help with some light chores around our busy facility? Or what about organizing a fund raiser? Perhaps you have an idea as to how we can improve things? Or maybe you just want to find out more about us? You can contact us here We want to hear from you!
Precious few stray cats are reunited with their owners – with the difficulty of identifying the cat/owner being one of the main reasons. We’d really like to see this change, so we are now including microchips for all cats (as well as dogs) included in the adoption fees. This really is the best chance of reuniting pets and owners – most veterinarians and shelters (including us) have microchip scanners that can quickly identify an animal. Remember, the less time you and your pet are separated, the less stress for you both!

Thanks for bearing with us!
Renovations at the Shelter are coming along nicely – of course, we also have the inevitable disruption but the end results will be worth it! The new tub is installed, the quarantine rooms are nearly complete and work is progressing on the new Cat viewing room. This promises to be an exciting new area where our feline guests can play, sleep or just hang out! |

SPCA Swift Current is a local organization dedicated to finding responsible caring life-long homes for lost, abandoned or unwanted animals. This includes preventing unwanted litters by incorporating spaying and neutering in all of our animals’ adoption fees. We are not funded by the provincial or federal government, nor are we connected or affiliated to any other shelter. We are a no-kill facility. We do not euthanize animals solely for space – only in rare cases of severe medical issues or aggression.

| Being a foster parent to an animal in need of a little TLC can be a very rewarding experience. Some of the homeless animals that come into our shelter have a hard time adjusting to life at the shelter while they wait for their new homes. By placing them in a foster home, it allows us to give an interested adopter a better insight into the animal’s likes and dislikes, good or bad habits, and its ability to get along with children and other pets. When the animal is adopted out there is a less chance it will be returned to the shelter for some underlying problem that would go undetected at the shelter. There are many ways someone can foster an animal. If you are interested in helping, please call the Shelter at 773-1806, or send us an email requesting an application form to info@spcaswiftcurrent.com |  |
