SPA closed for move over the weekend

The Eastern Townships SPA is reminding the public that it will be closed for four days this weekend while it moves to its new location. The SPA will be closed from Friday, August 24 to Monday, August 27 inclusively. Activities will resume on Tuesday, August 28 in the new building, located at 145 Sauvé Street in Sherbrooke, near Highway 410 and Val-estrie Ford dealership on King St. West. Hours of operation will remain the same, i.e. from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday to Saturday. The phone number will remain unchanged at 819-821-4727.

Over the course of those four days more than a hundred animals will be moved into their new spaces with help from the help of a dozen volunteers in addition to the regular staff. All offices and administrative materials will also be moved, with the aim to be fully operational by Tuesday, August 28 at the official opening.

For any emergencies that may occur during the four days of closure, citizens should contact their local police department, who will contact SPA patrollers to transmit details of the situation. The latter will then be able to intervene 24/7.

This new space will offer optimal living conditions for all its residents, in addition to being more comfortable. The central objective of the project is to improve conditions of care for animals housed within the shelter, by building environments meeting the specific needs of each species.
