Nova Scotia SPCA - North Nova Shelter Rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming pets in need thanks to animal-lovers like you. We take in animals by appointment only so please call ahead. We can help.

The Nova Scotia SPCA accepts animals into its care regardless of their age or health. We also follow no-kill principles which means we do not euthanize animals for space. Unexpected life situations happen and the SPCA strives to be approachable, non-judgemental and understanding. On average, healthy and friendly animals are adopted into loving families in less than two weeks! You simply have to ca

ll and arrange an appointment so the shelter can learn about what is the most suitable type of home for your pet. The appointment also allows the shelter to prepare a cozy space for your pet to make the transition as smooth as possible. We understand how difficult it is to surrender a pet and thank all owners who are able to make the best decision for their pet.

Pets have one โ€˜flaw.โ€™ They are never with us long enough. ๐Ÿฅบ When Joelene adopted Franny, she only got six months with her. Then came Aero, and it was love at first sight. Tibriaus was adopted a few months after, and while the two dogs had a rougher start, they soon settled in. But Joelene and Tibrius lost Aero at the beginning of 2026. They still feel the loss, but theyโ€™re healing, together, one day at a time. ๐Ÿค—

In a shelter meet room, a frightened dog leaned against someone who was still carrying his own heartbreak. ๐Ÿฅบ That is how Bruce and Max met one year ago at the Kings SPCA. One moment that changed both of their lives. They didnโ€™t know it then, but they would offer each other what each needed most: to feel safe and loved. ๐Ÿ’™
