At the Brant County SPCA, every day brings something new—and on April 1st, it brought us something extra special.
Through our Moving Hearts program, we welcomed Nala, a sweet and gentle mother. What we didn’t expect was that Nala had plans of her own: just a few short hours after arriving in our care, she went into labour. And by the end of the day, she had given birth to 12 healthy puppies.
Yes, twelve.
While it may have been April Fools Day, this was no joke. It was the beginning of a very real, very big responsibility—and one we’re honoured to take on. Nala and her puppies were immediately examined by a veterinarian, and we’re happy to report that mom and all twelve pups are doing well so far.
But now comes the hard part: This is where you come in.
We Need Our Community’s Support
When we say yes to a situation like Nala’s, we know it comes with high costs—both in time and in resources. From medical care, food, and supplies to the daily care these puppies will need over the next several weeks, the expenses add up quickly.
If you’ve ever wondered how to help animals in your community, now is the time.
