Mama’s Last Litter.

Over the last decade the shelter has been operating our Mama’s Last Litter Program as part of our ethical approach to reducing the number of homeless dogs and cats in our region.

How does it work?

The program entails the surrender of an entire litter, and in return, we spay the mama cat or dog at no cost, and then she is returned home when deemed fit for the kittens or puppies! We give each litter their proper vaccinations and adopt them out to their new families.

Through our program, we have been committed to help reduce pet overpopulation, prevent unplanned litters, and ensure every animal has a home in our local and surrounding communities.

If you or someone you know has a pregnant mama and is looking for a helping hand, contact us and we will be happy to help!
