Medicine Hat SPCA to Return to Core Role as City Ends Pound Contract
The Medicine Hat SPCA board says it will resume its adoption and welfare advocacy with fewer animals in the shelter as the city ends its 21 year pound service contract at year’s end. Starting January the SPCA will handle owner relinquishments only, while a private contractor may take over pound duties. The city plans a new $7 million building remains on hold due to fundraising and economic factors, and $106,000 humane society grant will be maintained while a $159,000 pound contract ends with 2015.
