The Nova Scotia SPCA investigates animal cruelty in Nova Scotia and promotes the humane treatment of animals. Cruelty investigators enforce the provincial Animal Protection Act by educating animal owners, investigating cases of cruelty and neglect, and seizing animals in distress. The Nova Scotia SPCA also oversees the Metro Shelter in Dartmouth and ten financially independent branch Societies across the province, all of which provide care for unwanted, abandoned, abused and neglected domestic animals, with the goal of adopting them into new homes.
