Alberta SPCA Introduces Help for Animals Program
We have introduced the Help for Animals Program that can offer pet food to those in need due to issues related to COVID such as illness, self-isolation or economic hardship. We know that many people who have pets will ensure their animals are fed first, therefore depriving themselves. Our program ensures they can feed pets without taking money from their own food budgets to do so.
The ASPCA website address is albertaspca.org/helpforanimals.
Once Albertans fill out the form on our website, we will call them to confirm details of their situation and make arrangements to ensure people receive the much needed pet food. While primarily geared towards people with pets, we may be able to provide those with livestock some feed to carry those animals through until pasture is available.
