Our Mission

 It is the mission of the Gander and Area SPCA to advocate on behalf of those who can't defend themselves. We strive to prevent cruelty, provide education on responsible pet ownership, and shelter animals in need. We believe that all animal life has value and devote ourselves to undertaking a leadership role in the humane treatment of animals.

​We consider animal welfare as both an individual and a community responsibility, therefore we are committed to working with individuals and communities in our region to promote greater responsibility and compassion for animals.

by providing an appropriate environment including shelter and a comfortable resting area.

​
​​

Freedom pain, injury, or disease...
