1. Rounding up the year.
- ..... TobagoSPCA continues to have as our main aim what the name says –Prevent cruelty to animalsWe attempt to locate owners of lost animals, rehome stray, rescued and unwanted animals and  raise awareness of the positive treatment and care of animals.
- ..... We now have 4 vets who attend to our Clinic so we are able to offer the general public affordable, safe veterinary care.
- ..... We continue with our FREE spay/neuter clinics with the Humane Society of the USA and our next clinic will be held  15th/16th January 2011.  We believe this is the way forward to prevent stray and unwanted animals in Tobago
-  ..... Our puppy run is up and running so the puppies now have a  play area to run about and socialize. 
LINKS:
- ..... We have adoption drives on a frequent basis and many of our dogs and cats are adopted and live happy lives with their owners. 



.
- ..... Visitors to our Island continue to fall in love with our animals and you can check out our blogpage to read their stories.   This month ‘MinnieHope’, found on Store Bay beach travelled to the USA with her new Owners. See more click here
- .....  UPDATE ON CHELSEA & LASSIE:- In June 2011 these two lucky dogs rescued from Turtle Beach, will travel to the UK... Hip Hip Hooray!

- ..... Our fundraising Committee continue to organize events and with the help of volunteers assist the TSPCA to continue the work of making life for the animals in Tobago a better place.

.
2. Special Thank Yous
- ..... The Staff: Lets us give the staff at the Shelter a well deserved “Thank-You”.   They are faced on a daily basis with the sadness of unwanted animals yet for all the problems that need to be dealt with there is always a smile or two, a laugh when needed, time to pat a dog on the head, give a cat a stroke or two. 
- ..... The Volunteers: Where would any Shelter be without them.   Just by reaching out and giving dogs some comfort and exercise helps so much to socialize our dogs and make them adoptable.
Volunteer DOG walkers are always needed and 1 to 2 hours a week can bring much joy to the animals.   Or play with the puppies in the puppy run, or sit with the Cats in the Cattery.

- ..... Inken Janning: Thanks for being present at our events and for all the wonderful, supportive photos she  takes.
