Nova Scotia SPCA - North Nova Shelter

Rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming pets in need thanks to animal-lovers like you. We take in animals by appointment only so please call ahead. We can help.

The Nova Scotia SPCA accepts animals into its care regardless of their age or health. We also follow no-kill principles which means we do not euthanize animals for space. Unexpected life situations happen and the SPCA strives to be approachable, non-judgemental and understanding. On average, healthy and friendly animals are adopted into loving families in less than two weeks! You simply have to ca

ll and arrange an appointment so the shelter can learn about what is the most suitable type of home for your pet. The appointment also allows the shelter to prepare a cozy space for your pet to make the transition as smooth as possible. We understand how difficult it is to surrender a pet and thank all owners who are able to make the best decision for their pet.

Sparrow was found stray and brought to safety at the Kings Shelter in June 2024. 🥺 She was only a month old, very small, had severe bends in both of her front legs and had to walk on the sides of her feet and ankles. She needed adopters who would understand her needs. And Robyn and Brandan were committed to learning and providing what a special needs kitten would need to grow happy and healthy. 🥰
