The SPCA Continues to Move Forward with Projects Even as Cash Donations Drop Off.

At the Flin Flon Creighton and Area SPCA annual meeting last week President Heather Richardson noted their mission is to rescue the mistreated, save the injured and love the abandoned.  She said they will have to do some creative fundraising over the next several years as cash donations have majorly dropped off, they have less than half the donations this year compared to all other years in the recent past and their fundraisers are no longer selling out as money becomes tighter for families understandably.  Future plans include the roof extension for their small pen to provide shade for dogs in the summer and keep snow from piling up in front of the door, an isolation room for the animals that first come into their care, funding for their new Bear Paws Bin came in from the Lions Club and they are looking at switching their pens from chain link to Plexiglas or some other solid material as the chain link is starting to rust again.

             

Treasurer Amanda Gauthier reported the cost to keep the shelter running is approximately 150 thousand dollars a year with their largest expenses wages and veterinary care. She says they continue to operate due to the generosity of our communities, their hard working staff, volunteers and board members over the years.
