Blainville Fox Terrier case

Finally, some GOOD news for once! Laporte, the guy who was breeding Fox Terriers in his house in Blainville, was sentenced yesterday for animal cruelty.

Laporte got a $2000 fine, 200 hours community service, and three years probation during which he is not allowed to own a dog.

Best of all - the red collar dogs are safe (these were the dogs he tagged when they were being taken away and he said he loved them sooo much, he wanted them back!). He will not get the dogs back & if he even tries to contact the foster families, he will be arrested.

Hopefully, other judges will use this case when deciding on sentencing criminals in animal cruelty - may this case set an example!

Annual Booksale a Great Success

Once again, our annual booksale was a great success, raising over $1800! A special thank you to Patricia Geary and Angela Hunter for their hard work organizing this event as well as the many volunteers who helped pack, organize, unpack, carry, and give up their weekend all to raise money for the SPCA Monteregie's animals!!

Hmm, let's see, shall we start organizing NEXT year's booksale now, or should we wait a little??
Our booksale was a huge success! Thanks to Pat Geary, Angela Hunter and our many volunteers whom, without them, this event could never have happened.
