Saskatoon SPCA Incorporated

I have nothing bad to say about the Saskatoon SPCA they allowed me to adopt my beautiful dog “Ziva” a few days before I left to Albert she brightens up my day all day

We found the newest member of our family at the Saskatoon SPCA and our experience was incredible - The team was friendly, funny, and a pleasure to be around! Thank you for providing a great experience and for helping us adopt our precious girl.

Can't say enough about this place, I have now adopted twice from here, most recently we picked up this smart little charmer who we named Harley. He is extremely happy to be with us and is keeping us on our toes! Someone really missed out on a fantastic dog with this one, looking forward to the next decade with this guy! Staff was superb as always, extremely helpful and friendly! We took Harley for his checkup that's included in the adoption fee and he's been given a perfect bill of health! Harley gained 3 pounds with us in the first week (he just may be a bit spoiled lol) The SPCA does incredible things, donate and adopt and keep this fantastic service running!

I will, unfortunately, never support the Saskatoon SPCA again after our latest experience. We found a puppy wandering a rural road near out home so my husband brought it home. We drove around to all the farm sites in our area, took it to the vet to have a microchip scan, and posted on Facebook Lost Pets, as it was over a holiday weekend. In this time we had become attached but wanted to make sure we tried our best to find the owner so we took her to the SPCA. I wish we had known at the time we can report a lost dog without having to take them in. We were told we could have updates and could see her, but then when we called we were told that is not allowed and updates are not given unless they are up for adoption. Fine, those are the rules. We both expressed interest in adopting the dog multiple times both by email and phone, even filled out an application twice (once before she was available, once while she was available). She went up for adoption and came back down 3 hours later. I had spoken to an adoption counselor 2 hours prior and she didn't even tell me she was going up on the site. Despite being an excellent country home with plenty of space where we already knew she fit in perfectly, got along with our other dog, and had already opened up and showed us her true bubbly personality, the SPCA adopted her elsewhere. Basically they are encouraging people to steal dogs they find so they aren't taken away, instead of doing the right thing and trying to find the owner. We are both devastated to not have gotten her back, as we even had a name picked out and had made a list of supplies we needed for a large breed dog. After a terrible handling of this adoption I will recommend to everyone AGAINST dealing with the Saskatoon SPCA. There are plenty of reputable, no-kill organizations in the province.

Filled out an application as I waited for the spca to get a kitten we were interested in meeting. They set up a time, within an hour of meeting our kitten, we were leaving with him. Very friendly and efficient staff and experience.

My boyfriend and I adopted our first dog back in April. It was a very spur-of-the-moment decision, but we knew we needed a little addition to the family to make it complete. We decided to adopt rather than purchase from a breeder, so our first choice was to visit the Saskatoon SPCA. They have a big open playground for the dogs to run around in, and they encourage playtime and activity with all of the dogs that are up for adoption. However, the staff seems a little disinterested and robotic around the animals. The day we were approved to adopt, a staff member brought out the wrong dog, and introduced him as the one we had come to take home. We knew immediately it was the wrong one, but the employee seemed a little clueless and confused. We had to explain what the dog looked like, which made us feel a little awkward, and as if we were disappointing the dog they had brought out to us. While we understand that animal shelters have a high turnover of dogs, we believe the staff should have, at minimum, basic knowledge to differentiate between the different animals that come and go. We appreciate that this organization is doing a good deed for these animals, but it would be nice to see a few more beds or pillows in each of these stalls. It would also be comforting to witness the staff more emotionally engaged towards the dogs that are continuously wailing after their surgeries and trapped in an uncomfortable environment with restricted contact from the public. We met our dog during our first trip to the SPCA shelter - a border collie and retriever mix - and within one application we were approved to adopt. While we feel like this was a stroke of good fortune for us, it did concern us a little bit that some dogs may be sent home with owners that have not had their background adequately checked. Overall, we feel this organization is doing its due diligence by providing something for these animals that otherwise would have nothing. As a side note, we regularly check up on Saskatoon’s SPCA website and have noticed that the cats do not have as high of a turnover rate compared to dogs. If you are capable and wish to take home a kitty, please consider SPCA; these animals need the help and love. In the meantime, feel free to adore our attached before-and-after pictures of our adopted dog!

Very professional, caring staff. Able to book an appointment to view animals. Currently have a promotion for cats - pay by donation. All cats, have shots and have been neutered. Must buy City cat liscence along with purchase.

What a wonderful thing these people are doing over here ! I was there after a long time , over a year due to the corona restrictions and all! And they were so busy that everyone was delaying lunch just so that they could help those animals in need ! Claps for them and respect too ! Thanks for doing this noble job!
