FMSPCA'S DOG ADOPT-A-THON STARTS MAY 5 !
We have lots of great adult dogs here at the shelter who have been feeling a little sad & overlooked lately. We at the FMSPCA are pleased to announce that for two weeks, starting May 5, 2012, there will be a $100.00 discount on all adult dogs at the shelter who have been in our care for 3 months or longer! Come find your new best friend at the Fort McMurray SPCA today!
  
**Please note you must still go through the application process which can take up to 5 days to complete. |
| The FMSPCA is thrilled to announce $11 000 was raised for our shelter animals at the Walk to Stop Animal Abuse. These funds will help care for the hundreds of sick, abused, neglected and homeless animals that come through our doors each year. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to all who participated, donated, and took a stand against animal abuse. On April 22 we gave a voice to those who can not speak for themselves and said no more to the horrific abuse and neglect animals face every day. On behalf of animals everywhere, thank you.

A new leash on life
The FMSPCA's staff and all our animals are so excited to announce that to make the transition of our dogs from the shelter to their new forever home, we will be providing free collars and leashes to adopters until the end of April!

The Fort McMurray SPCA is in need of foster families.
Animals suited to the foster program are most often too young, need further socialization or require special attention due to treatable illness and recovery which prevents them from being ideal candidates for adoption at the time.
Foster parents provide a safe and conducive environment for the animals to mature, become socialized and accustom to a home setting and heal from existing wound and illness. If you are interested in providing foster care or have questions regarding the program contact us at 780-743-8997
