Medicine Hat SPCA launches ‘Extreme Shelter Makeover’ Campaign
PROTECT YOUR DOG FROM THE SUMMER HEAT
If your dog is left outside, make sure it has access to plenty of cool, fresh water and a shady area. Never leave your dog tied up in your yard.
Thank you so much to Cheryl Ann and the team at Sit, Stay, Come & Play for running the 'DNA My Dog Fundraiser', with all proceeds coming to the Medicine Hat SPCA! They were able to raise $360!
Thank you to the following businesses for sponsoring our 2017 Superhero Fun Run!

Diet- Seeds vs. Pellets: Seed diets are high in fat and low in the vitamins, minerals, and protein that birds need to stay healthy. Pelleted diets meet the nutritional needs of your bird. They contain the right balance of vitamins, minerals, protein, carbohydrates and fats for healthy birds.

Long time Shelter Manager, Audrey Becker, has retired after over 30 years service with the Medicine Hat SPCA, 15 of those years as the Manager of the SPCA Adopt-a-Pet Facility. Audrey's contribution to the organization has been significant, and her knowledge & experience are irreplaceable. We wish her a very happy retirement with her husband Cal, and their many, many animals!
A HUGE "thank you" to all of our participants in this years' Katch n' Kennel fundraiser! We had 17 'Jailbirds' and they raised over $18,000 for the Medicine Hat SPCA. This money will be going towards the care of the animals at the shelter, for things like veterinary bills and general shelter operating costs. We don't receive any government funding for general shelter operations, so we are so grateful to our community for their support!
1. Meet-and-Greets
Spring is in the air and your pets are outside more, meeting their neighbors all over again! Cat fight abscesses begin to appear, as your cat and the neighbor’s cat, fight for their territory or go searching for some love! Dog walks and dog park encounters can escalate to guerilla warfare! Be sure to supervise your dog at all times.
2. Spring Food Festivals
Here are our jailbirds for this weekend!
We are so grateful to have Pet Valu Medicine Hat as our sponsor this year for our 3rd Annual Katch n' Kennel event! This is one of our biggest fundraisers, and we couldn't do it without them.
