Here are just a few of the issues we address on this show:

• How does the SPCA determine whether and which resources should be invested to save the life of an abused animal?
• How many vets do you have on staff to do this work?
• Do you have “volunteer” veterinary specialists on-call?
• What are the most frequent types of injuries that you see? Embedded collars? Broken limbs? Starvation?
• Dog’s often appear so amazingly resilient. Is it harder to save the life of a cat as compared to a dog?
• What if you discover other complications while dealing with an abused animal – for example, cancer? Will you/do you have the resources to start such lengthy treatment regimes?
• Do you have all the necessary the medical equipment needed in-house?
• Can you train a difficult dog or cat to be more adoptable?
• Are dogs more easily adopted than cats?
• How do you teach a cat to shake hands?
• What do kittens do in the SPCA’s kitten kindergarten?
