The Sheltering Summit recognizes an organization that has improved the care and handling of animals in transition (recovery, intervention, transfer). This year our winner is....
France Dubois, S.P.C.A. de l'Outaouais (SPCAO)
The SPCAO won this award with 57.3% of the votes for their 92% successful adoption rate, achieved through adoption partners and special events as well as other partnerships and programs designed to rehome urban animals.
The Gatineau SPCA serves more than 300,000 people in over 25 municipalities of the Outaouais region. Through their work with in-house adoptions, external adoption partners and special event adoptions they have been able to deeply impact the welfare of animals in the Outaouais region. Beyond their local work they are also part of a 15 affiliate member group which works to accommodate animals around the province, giving them the best chance for finding homes. This is illustrated by their 92% success rate - an outstanding percentage for a shelter with unlimited entries.
The SPCAO believes in working with others to develop solutions facing Quebec’s pet population. They collaborate with other agencies in an effort to improve the wellbeing of pets on a larger scale. This is demonstrated by their tireless efforts on the working group for the improvement of the health and safety of animals with QC Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Food as well as their presence on the Boards of the Quebec Association of SPA-SPCA and the BEA Foundation (Animal Well Being).
