"Thank you for giving us our life back"
- Past Program Client

When humans are in crisis. Animals are in crisis. Animal welfare is directly linked to human welfare. When a life crisis affects a pet owner, their companion animal is likely to feel the effects too. Extending compassion to both humans and animals is integral in ensuring that all members of the family stay safe in times of crisis.

How we help people & pets in crisis by offering temporary care for animals

The Alberta SPCA respects the deep foundational connection Indigenous Peoples have had to animals and this land, now known as Alberta, for thousands of years. We are grateful to continue to work towards the humane treatment of all animals in all areas of the province on the traditional territories encompassed by Treaties 6, 7, 8, 4, & 10 and the Métis Homeland.

We are inspired by how many Indigenous Peoples recognize that animals, people and the environment are interconnected and respecting these relationships is fundamental to the well-being of all living things and the earth that we share. As treaty people, we also strive to listen, respect, care for, and live in harmony with one another, animals and the natural world.

Our Peace Officers investigate every complaint we receive. We can only investigate if we have reasonable and probable grounds to believe there may have been an offence under the Animal Protection Act.
