The Eastern Townships Animal Protection Society (SPA) is seeing a rising trend of animal abandonment that is placing the organization in dire financial need.
Spokesperson Alexane Bégin says that this trend is causing veterinary expenses to double to $50,000 per month over the last three years. The organization relies heavily on on public donations to sustain operations. Bégin calls upon the community to adopt, participate in programs, and raise awareness to ensure the SPA’s crucial mission continues.
CJMQ spoke with Bégin to learn more about the current challenges faced by the organization.
