After reading all of the horrible reviews, I felt I needed to provide a positive review on behalf of the SPCA. At the end of October 2010, my family and went to look at dogs once again. We were hoping to find a male puppy that my son could grow and bond with. Upon reaching the shelter we took our look around and proceded to check on all dogs. At the time there was a litter of puppies however, the male pups were already on hold. The girl pups were still timid. We decided to take one more look around and found a Terrier mixed puppy about a year old outside who was interested and engaged by my son. We asked if we could see him and play outside with him to see if ouor family had any connection with "Nicholas". It didnt take long for our family to fee llike he was the one. That afternoon we decided to take Nicholas home...He was not all the way potty trained and made some mistakes. However, he is loving and playful and as much a part of our family as if he were our kid. We renamed him R2-D2!
I wanted to say thank you to the staff at the SPCA every day you have to make tough decisions which impact so many lives. I know your position is not easy but for our family you did right. I will always continue to rescue a pet from you rather than buy elsewhere. We all need love and sometimes second chances.
