Frequently Asked Questions

Why won’t you let me give a good home just because I cannot afford your ridiculous prices?

It is SPCA’S responsibility to ensure that the animals in our care go to the right homes and that the people who adopt them can afford to care for them. ( Our concern would be whether or not you could afford the services of a private vet, if you cannot afford a cost effective adoption fee.)  Our prices may seem to be high, but remember that they do include vaccination, deworming and sterilization)

Why is the SPCA refusing to give me the dog that I want?

  1. Possible property is not suitable for the animal that you require;
  2. If there is other animals on premises – that could clash;
  3. Male dogs can't be kept together;
  4. Dog is a cat chaser;
  5. Animal is not friendly towards children

Why can't I let my dog, which I adopted as a puppy, have a litter before it is sterilized?

There are thousands of animals born annually which cannot find homes and are unwanted. A pair of dogs can procreate an incredible 85 000 offspring over 4 years, many of which end up in our facilities, plus there is no medical advantage to allowing a bitch or queen to have a litter. It is for those reasons that the SPCA will not accede to you request in terms of their regulations, so the answer is no.
