Get Help Community Services
Nelson SPCA offers a range of community services to support both pets and their owners. From our spay and neuter program to our pet rehoming assistance, we strive to ensure that every animal in our community receives the care they deserve.
Our lost and found helps reunite pets with their families, and our Trap Neuter Return (TNR) program helps reduce the number of stray cats in our community.
Our goal is to offer the help and resources you need to ensure the well-being of your pets.
Give Ways to Give
Your generosity makes our work possible. There are many ways to support our mission, from direct donations to participating in our Help to Heal Program. You can also contribute needed items or include us in your estate plans through planned giving. Every gift, no matter the size, helps us rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome animals in need.
