Did you know that the Montreal SPCA receives over 15,000 abandoned or neglected animals every year? They include dogs, cats, rabbits, rats, guinea pigs, reptiles, birds, chickens and even pigs and lambs.

All animals deserve our compassion, not only the ones we are used to seeing.

Here are some snapshots of some former residents who were saved by inspectors from the Montreal SPCA’s Investigations and Inspections Department. Adorable individuals beings who are now living a beautiful life in loving homes and sanctuaries adapted to their needs!
