More bad news

For the second time in two months, someone had the audacity to steal from the homeless pets in the Lloydminster area. That's right, the shelter was broken into for a second time in February, with the perpetrators smashing the front door again. Obviously the SPCA does not deal with big amounts of money, so the robber's "haul" was minimal. It actually costs 4 times as much to keep replacing the door. It is just the mentality of people who would steal from a non-profit that astounds us.

It is so sad that is the last year, so many non-profit organizations have been targeted. Many are trying their hardest just to keep the doors open with money raised from donations and fundraisers. Remember, when someone steals from a non-profit, they are not just taking money from that organization, they are stealing from YOU, the kind people who so generously give money and support our local charities.

If you have any information on the recent SPCA break in or other non-profit robbery, please contact the SPCA as soon as possible. We need to send the message that it is not ok to steal from homeless pets like Valentine, the cute cat pictured left. Valentine is just one of many cats being housed by the SPCA. She is a 2 year old spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated female.

Of course, the SPCA could not run without the generous support of our local community. Thank you so much for your on going loyalty, and helping us provide unwanted pets with a place to stay while awaiting their new homes.
