Paws & Support - Nova Scotia SPCA

About the Program

Thanks to generous donors and our friends Paws & Support is a free program for dogs, cats, and critters while their owners seek short-term in-hospital treatment or transition out of domestic violence relationships. This program may also be able to help in short-term housing crisis situations when space permits.
