About the Shelter
We are very proud of our new facility!
Our building is 3200 square feet and is on a hectare of land. It has the capacity to hold 40 dogs and 10 cats. We have a maternity room and an indoor play room/ puppy room as well. The building is environmentally friendly and operated by one full-time Manager, three part-time staff members, and a group of committed volunteers and Board members. We have one large enclosed outdoor play area for the dogs with a condo complex for their comfort and plan to build a smaller play run as well as an outdoor extension from our cat room for the summer months. We are planning a walking trail and a memorial garden in the future.
Our Ground Breaking Ceremony took place on October 23, 2011. One year later we opened out doors even though we were not completely finished the building. Within days we had as many dogs as we could handle. We continue to improve on and complete the shelter including our surrounding land use area as we get the resources to do so. We continue to hold fund raising events and apply for Grants throughout the year to keep our doors open.
To help us raise funds to complete the construction of the NWT SPCA Northern Animal Shelter, a company, family or individual can help by sponsoring a Dog Apartment. For $10,000 there is an opportunity to have your name prominently displayed "furever" above a Dog Apartment. This display will be visible for all people visiting the shelter to see. This lifetime sponsorship will help us complete the shelter and continue to operate and offer our much needed programs. Our Cat Condos are all spoken for however there are other rooms and outside areas that we can accommodate a sponsorship placard. We will find a place for you!!!
If you have any questions regarding sponsorship or have ideas on how you would like to donate to our shelter please contact us.
