The SPCA in St. John’s is one of seven branches in Newfoundland and Labrador. It costs over $300,000 annually to operate our Shelter. We receive an annual grant of $12,000 from the City of St. John's and rely heavily on the kind support of people who make donations and support our fund raising events. We are not government funded, but exist through the kind support of many people who make donations and support our ongoing fund raising events. We have over sixty volunteers who work at the shelter to care for the animals and provide them with much needed T.L.C. Our shelter director is a volunteer who has faithfully maintained the operation of the SPCA for over thirty years. We have 5 full-time and 3 part-time staff.
