Lost or found pets Animal control officers are employed by some communities to enforce municipal by-laws regarding animals as well as educate the public on animal welfare. Their duties often include returning lost pets to their owners and making sure dogs are licensed.
Contact your animal control officer through your municipal office or local animal shelter. You may also post notices about your missing pet through:

Animals found dead on public roadways Anyone who strikes a wild animal with a vehicle or finds one dead or injured on a public road, is asked to contact the local branch of Department of Natural Resources. These professionals can also offer advice on how to deal with nuisance animals. You will find them in the telephone book provincial blue pages under “Ranger Office”.
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.

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.

NBSPCA Resource Directory………………………………………………….. 7 Kibble Pet Food Bank Network
Web site: http://kibblecanada.tripod.com
Our Network The Kibble Pet Food Banks in New Brunswick, Canada, provide temporary relief to pet owners facing financial and other challenges. 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. The animals also remain in familiar surroundings, reducing the stress they face of being displaced. Third, it also reduces the number of animals who are relinquished to shelters or are simply abandoned when their owners cannot afford to care for them. Our network is intended to share information and resources with similar venues in the Maritimes and other parts of Canada.
Our Philosophy We work to assist pet owners two ways: * by helping those facing financial challenges * providing food and supplies in times of emergency, such as house fires and flooding.
A big thank you to our partners who make these services possible!

Pets with People at Risk
The Restigouche Co. SPCA provides shelter for pets just as Maison Notre Dame does for women and children. They'll look after their veterinary care and house them, all with no charge to the abused owner. As shelter manager Kathy Vautour explains it, "We'll render them safe until you are safe." It's all confidential. All the SPCA needs is a police file number. The service was used three times in 2008.
NBSPCA Resource Directory………………………………………………….. 8 NBSPCA Equine Rescue Fund
There are an estimated 11,000 horses in New Brunswick, according to 2003 numbers from Equine Canada.
The NBSPCA averages 2- 3 monthly calls regarding the welfare of large animals such as horses and cattle. It costs the NBSPCA approx. $2,000 to take a horse into care, with factors such as travel, medical care, boarding and inspector wages.
* * * *
Horse enthusiasts can now help New Brunswick horses in distress through the NBSPCA Equine Rescue Fund.
NBSPCA funds have historically been pooled to assist all animals as the need arises. Then, two ponies changed that. Spurred on by the NBSPCA’s scramble to rescue the two badly malnourished animals in 2005, two Rusagonish women were determined to obtain a horse trailer for the organization. Hope Lynch and Jill Phillips quickly raised $2,000 through a softball tournament. The NB Equestrian Association paid the balance of the cost of the trailer, and provided seed money for the newly created Equine Rescue Fund.
The welfare of New Brunswick horses has been an important part of the NBSPCA mandate since its 1881 beginning. A granite water fountain was built in Saint John’s Market Square that year to provide thirsty horses with a cool drink. William Sears spearheaded what became a symbol of the commitment of New Brunswick residents to their equine partners.
The need to help New Brunswick horses remains strong more than a century later. In 2005, our group spent $10,000 on equine rescue, addressing 120 large animal cases. The following year, the NBSPCA responded to 133 horse-related calls involving 280 animals. Unsanitary conditions, lack of shelter, or no access to food or water prompt most of the calls.
The NBSPCA educates and works with owners to address the issue, only taking horses into care when necessary. Charges are laid under the Criminal Code of Canada and the New Brunswick SPCA Act where situations warrant.
Helping these horses is a constant financial challenge. The ERF and generous volunteers like you help offset the cost of travel, inspector wages, medical care and boarding rescued animals. Please join us as we work to provide a new beginning for neglected New Brunswick horses, one animal at a time.
* * * * You can help the NBSPCA help horses by supporting the Equine Rescue Fund. Visit www.spca-nb.ca to donate online, email [email protected] or call 458-8208 today. Tax receipts will be issued for donations of $10 or more.

NBSPCA Resource Directory………………………………………………….. 11 NB SPCA public education programs
The New Brunswick SPCA strives to educate the public on a variety of animal welfare topics. Contact the provincial office at 458-8208 or visit www.spca-nb.ca for more information on the following programs:
Dog bite prevention – Our inspectors regularly visit New Brunswick schools to help children how to act properly around dogs, helping keep pets and people safe. Geared largely to school age children, this presentation can be made to most public groups
Start a Chain Reaction – A campaign to encourage dog owners to involve their pets in family activities, and limit the time dogs spend chained outdoors. As social pack animals, dogs need the company of people and other dogs to be healthy, happy companions.
Spay/neuter for pet population control – Encouraging pet owners to have their pets spayed or neutered for health reasons and to prevent the breeding of unwanted young.
Say no to puppy mills – The newest NBSPCA campaign, we encourage potential pet owners to obtain their dogs from reputable breeders and not puppy mills, pet stores or backyard breeders. This reduces the demand for unsocialised, mass-produced, usually unhealthy dogs that often end up at animal shelters. Also, teaching the public how to recognize puppy mills helps expose and stop these operations.
Furry Fourth campaign – Encouraging pet parents to make the fourth day of each month the day to carry out regular pet chores. These might include giving monthly medications, inspecting and repairing pet equipment, a thorough grooming or other task that helps keep pets healthy and safe.
