Nova Scotia SPCA - Dartmouth Shelter

Location :

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!

We take in animals by appointment only so please call ahead.

You simply have to call 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. We can help. To learn more visit: https://www.novascotiaspca.ca/services-care/animal-surrender/

  Our friends at the The Old Triangle Irish Alehouse are raising funds for our furry friends this holiday season! 🐾 Donate a wee bit towards the SPCA and your server will give you a paper paw to write your name (or your furry friend’s name) that will be plastered around the pub. 😻

  The Old Triangle is located at 5136 Prince St. and they have great food, amazing service and live music 7 nights a week! 🎻 Great for some holiday fun! 🎄

  Thank you, Old Triangle!! ✨
