The SPCA Montérégie is one of the few SPCAs in the Province of Quebec that

is no-kill, we provide animals with shelter, freedom from fear and pain and

all the love we can - with no time limit.

In March of this year, The SPCA Montérégie responded to a call and seized a

barn full of hungry, thirsty, neglected horses in Boucherville. Included

in the barn were a mare and her one-week-old foal who had a severe

open wound on her leg that was badly infected.

If the SPCA Montérégie didn't step in when they did, the foal would have

died as she needed immediate medical attention; the foal was sent to

St. Hyacinthe Veterinary Clinic “Faculte de medicine veterinarie St. Hyacinthe” to be put on IV fluids to save her life. Shortly after, the mare was sent over to St. Hyacinthe vet clinic so she could continue nurse her baby where it was touch and go for a while, but the foal survived!

All the horses were sent to different foster homes and rescues, however

saving the life of the foal did have a price, the total bill was over

$3,500. The SPCA Montérégie, who receives no monetary support from the government or any other SPCA in the Province, relies solely on donations, paid the bill.

able to feed over 10 dogs at the shelter for one day! Raising $75 and over you will
