Suspected animal neglect or abuse Anyone who suspects an animal of being neglected or abused is encouraged to contact an NBSPCA animal protection officer or his or her local SPCA animal shelter. These notices are then given to the appropriate person for further investigation. Members of the public reporting such cases of animal neglect are advised to note where, when, how and who took part in the incident to assist the investigation and the laying of charges where appropriate. Dated photographs and the names and contact information of other witnesses to the incident will greatly help in pursuing the investigation.

Box 1412, Station A, Fredericton, NB E3B 5E3 Registered Charitable Number: 0182279-54-05 * * * * * * The New Brunswick Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (NBSPCA) is dedicated to providing a voice for those who cannot speak for themselves. The NBSPCA is responsible for enforcing the SPCA Act within the Province of New Brunswick. It was created March 25, 1881, with the initial goal of helping the horses working in Saint John. From livestock, our mandate quickly expanded to include companion animals until we now work to protect all domestic animals. Our Inspectors and Animal Protection Officers responded to more than 5,000 animal cruelty calls in 2008. The NBSPCA is not government-funded. These professionals are part-time employees who rely on private donations to carry out their work. The NBSPCA does not operate a shelter. Instead, it relies on animal shelters around to provide care in instances when animals taken into custody require help. Eighty per cent of funds received support the NBSPCA inspection program. Eighteen per cent pays for administration costs, with the remaining monies going towards education and fund-raising. Eighty per cent of funds for NBSPCA activities come from general donations, one-time gifts, grants and foundation bequests. The New Brunswick Animal Protection Fund, along with expense recovery from rescued animals, both contribute eight per cent of the budget. The remaining four per cent consists of miscellaneous donations and gifts made in the memories of favourite animals. The New Brunswick SPCA is governed by a board of directors, individuals elected by the general membership at its Annual General Meeting, and appointees of the New Brunswick Provincial Government. A part-time executive director oversees day-to-day operations.

Through education, pet food and supplies, the network is designed to help owners continue to care for their animals as they work through their challenge. This early intervention reduces the number of animals abandoned or surrendered to local shelters, providing greater security for the animals and the people who love them. Pet owners can continue to enjoy the companionship of their pets, providing emotional support in sometimes difficult situations.
