It didn’t take long for our new stock trailer to prove its worth.
Thanks to your incredible support during our 2024 Giving Tuesday campaign, we were able to raise an astonishing $93,135 — well above our $75,000 goal. Because of your generosity, we purchased a new stock trailer this spring, and it’s already making a significant difference.
This trailer improves our ability to respond faster, reach more animals, and ensure safe transport. Its size and internal dividers make it possible to move multiple animals at once, even when they need separate space during transport.
And the trailer proved exceptionally useful in its first big test earlier this year.
We used the trailer to remove several horses from a property, including mares with their foals — all were in distress. Transport regulations stipulate mares and their foals must be transported together in the same compartment and separate from other horses. Thanks to the dividers in the new trailer, we were able to transport the animals safely in a single trip — which wouldn’t have been possible with a small stock trailer.
Your generosity is transforming animal welfare in Alberta. Because of your support, we’re better equipped to respond when animals need us. Thank you for helping save lives, provide care, and create better futures for animals across Alberta.
We look forward to sharing more updates from our Alberta SPCA peace officers as they continue using the trailer in the field. And, thanks to the funds raised beyond our initial goal, we are able to add even more emergency response tools — like a small cargo trailer and essential medical and safety equipment — to our resources.
Your impact is real. Your generosity is saving lives.
