WILLING ADOPTIVE HOMES NEEDED
Yarmouth SPCA urges you to make adoption your first choice
The Yarmouth
SPCA is in urgent need of willing adoptive homes for dozens of cats and kittens that have come into care as stray, abandoned
or surrendered animals in recent weeks. Many are surprise litters from unaltered pets or pets purchased through online classifieds
or non-traditional retailers that are found to be pregnant.
"Every animal deserves a safe and loving home.
The Nova Scotia SPCA and it’s Yarmouth Branch is committed to being a no-kill animal welfare organization, which means
that we need to be very proactive about promoting the importance of adoption and we need the support of every community to
open their hearts and their homes to the thousands of animals that come into our care every year,” said Executive Director
Kristin Williams of the Nova Scotia SPCA Provincial Office. She added that “adoption saves two lives; the animal currently
in our care and the next animal waiting to be saved.”
This time of year is especially taxing on already limited volunteer and donated resources as dozens
of litters are flooding in and challenging the capacity of the shelter and our volunteer foster homes. If you can help
by becoming a Foster Home, please call the shelter at 742-9767 or email info@yarmouthspca.com

· Heatstroke is a rapidly progressive life-threatening emergency resulting from direct thermal injury to cardiovascular,
gastrointestinal, renal, hepatic, endothelial, musculoskeletal, and central nervous tissues.
Classic heatstroke most commonly develops when dogs are confined
in an overheated enclosure.
·
Heatstroke can result in shock, seizures and death.
· On a day like today,
the inside of a car will heat up to 50 degrees in minutes.
· Dogs cannot displace heat as
quickly. Look for signs of distress, such as excessive panting, change in disposition etc.
