CRIME STOPPERS

The Renfrew County Branch investigates all complaints of animals in distress including domestic animals, livestock and wildlife.

The Ontario SPCA Act defines distress as "the state of being in need of proper care, water, food or shelter or being injured, sick or in pain or suffering, or being abused or subject to undue or unnecessary hardship, privation or neglect."

Inspectors and agents appointed under the Act have the authority of police officers when enforcing laws pertaining to the welfare of, or the prevention of, cruelty to animals.

The Ontario SPCA operates on a complaint basis. If you wish to report a case of animal abuse or neglect, please read the following.

If your complaint is urgent or an emergency contact the Branch by telephone.
