SPCA Of Western Quebec

The staff was very friendly and it was very evident that they cared for our furbaby! Her name at the SPCA was Keisha (and now is named Mia). Before we took her home, some volunteers hugged her and it was clear that Mia had formed some connections with them! They made sure that she would be a good fit for our family. The adoption process was very straight forward.

I emailed for information about an animal and received a prompt detailed response. I called with follow up questions and the call was immediately answered and information looked up and provided. I called re animal still being available and call was answered immediately and confirmed animal was still available. I went over and staff was pleasant, helpful and friendly and provided additional details about the animal - the location was clean and well kept. I was allowed opportunity to interact with the animal as long as I wanted and the ability to ask additional questions as needed. I wasn't sure about adopting yet and staff was very supportive about being certain on my decision before adopting and to take the time to be sure before bringing an animal home. I was very impressed and the location was easily accessible from Ontario. I would definitely adopt from there.

Great place to adopt. I adopted 2 dogs from this SPCA and have had no trouble at all. The staff is great, you can tell that they really care about the animals. First time, I initially went to the Ottawa Animal Shelter and got the run around, that's how we ended up in Gatineau. They will always be my first choice for dog adoption.

Staff is nice, we adopted a beautiful grey tabby named Pence in October 2020. He was diagnose with FIP and passed away yesterday.We only had him for under 4 months, but we got very attached to him. He was very affectionate and playful.Rest in peace little fur ball.

worse experience. This staff doesn't prioritize her work, the room is full of people waiting to adopt a pet and the staff is downloading pics or on the phone. After waiting over an hour left to have lunch, came back hoping that the paperwork would of been finished, just so they tell my sister that they haven't made a decision to release the dog, wanted to ensure that the dog is release to good household. Is it because of my sister's handicap?? very disappointed in the service.

Got my cat here a few years ago and I am very happy to support a no-kill shelter. My cat had been at the shelter for over a year when I adopted him. The lady at the front desk brought me into the cat room, pointed at his cage and left, so I was just alone in a room full of cats in cages which was awkward- I didn't know if I could just open the door and pick him up or what. I went back out and asked and she said I could pick up whatever cat I wanted (which felt weird cause I could have easily opened all the cat cages without knowing their personalities). I hope that the cat adoption process has become more refined since then. The actual adoption was very easy, and they even took a cute family picture""

We've adopted two furbabies from this location and have been extremely happy with the process. The staff are great and always allow us ample time for meet and greets to ensure the various animals are compatible. They are eager to answer questions and you can see the love they have for their rescues. The place is more costly to adopt from than other rescues, but they are working on getting back their own shelter. We are fortunate to have a place that's doing so much for these animals. I can't wait to see their new location once it's built.

The staff was great, asked us a few questions, showed us some pictures of their dogs and we fell in love with Romeo, a Husky mix rescued from a shelter in Kentucky. This dog is very loving and Mr. Personality. We had a very good experience there and would recommend it to others!

I was in search of a dog and I decided to go to the Gatineau SPCA. The people there are extremely helpful and sweet to the animals, however the system of first come first serve seems sort of flawed. I'm glad however that one of the girls who allowed me to adopt Marley (former Jaffar) made sure that she met the people in the household to ensure he'll be happy.

I e-mailed in May asking about the adoption process, whether all adoptables were posted on their site and what the procedure was. All questions were ignored and the only response I got was We presently have no animals available for adoption".It's now almost August and still no adoptables on their website. That's fine
