Owned Animals

If you are no longer able to keep your pet, the SPCA of Western Quebec can help.  We provide a caring, loving environment for all of our animals until they find their forever home - or more specifically, until it finds them.

As a no-kill shelter, rest assured that your pet will remain with us until that special home is found.  All adopters are required to fill out an adoption questionnaire prior to approval, to ensure that the right match exists between human and animal, resulting in a successful ending for everyone.

The SPCA of Western Quebec covers various costs as part of the adoption program; such as vaccinations, spaying/neutering, deworming, and flea treatment.  As such, any applicable fee for surrendering your animal to the shelter can vary depending on what is needed for your animal to be made available for adoption.

Please give us a call at (819) 770-7722, or e-mail ahspca@storm.ca for additional information, and we'll be happy to assist you.

Stray Animals

If you have found a cat or dog and are not aware of who may own the animal, please contact the shelter at (819) 770-7722 and we will be happy to help you.

Lost and Found

If you have lost your pet, please contact the shelter at (819) 770-7722 or e-mail ahspca@storm.ca so that we can create a lost report for you, should an animal similar in appearance be brought to our shelter.  If you happen to have a picture of the animal, please feel free to e-mail it to this address, or drop it by our shelter location at 659 Auguste-Mondoux in the Aylmer sector of Gatineau.

If it should happen that your pet is admitted to our shelter, and you come to claim the animal, we do request a claim fee for cleaning and boarding of the cat or dog for the period it has been at the shelter.  This cost is $30.00 for the first day, and $20.00 for each subsequent day the animal has been at the shelter.  Depending on the timing of the animal's stay with us, if it has been vaccinated during its time at the shelter, please add an additional $30.00 to your claim fee, so that we may recover our veterinary costs.

Microchip

M4S microchips can be provided for your cat or dog at the cost of $40.00 per animal.  Please contact the shelter should you require additional information on this service.

Boarding

The SPCA of Western Quebec offers boarding services for your dog, should you need to be away from home and unable to care for him or her.  We do request that proof of up to date vaccinations (including bordetella) be provided at the time of your reservation, which should be done in advance to ensure available space for your animal.  As well, you are encouraged to bring the animal's own food, treats, toys, etc. as they will help the dog feel more at home while with us.

Our fees for boarding are $20.00 per day (or portion thereof) and $100.00 per week for dogs.   For additional information, or to make a reservation for your animal, please contact the SPCA of Western Quebec at (819) 770-7722 or e-mail ahspca@storm.ca.
