The GSPCA wishes to remind all dog and cat owners that their pets need their

Steele's sponsors animal clinic on River Road
The Grenada Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (GSPCA) recently held an inoculation clinic for animals in the River Road area sponsored by Steele's Auto Supplies and Toyota. A news release from the G.S.P.C.A said that 64 dogs were attended to during the clinic and 90% of the dog owners signed up to have their dogs spayed/neutered. "We will be going through the list and spaying and neutering for the next few months", said Ms. Peggy Cattan. "The people of River Road were very co-operative and seemed to have much concern for their dogs and for keeping the population of stray dogs in the area down". The release said that the GSPCA is very pleased to have the opportunity to get to know the people of River Road and establish a working relationship within that neighborhood. In a letter to the sponsor the Society said "we find that having a sponsor within the community where the clinic takes place is very effective and thank you very much for your help and the use of your premises to hold the clinic".
2001 GSPCA Dog Show
Snoosie, a local Grenadian "pothound" owned by Ms. Lizzie Kaufmann,
won the "Best in Show" title at the Fourth Annual Grenada Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Dog Show, which was held on November
4, 2001, at the Grenada Trade Center.
Fifty-four canines graced center ring and strutted their stuff in front
of an enthusiastic crowd of more than 350 spectators.
While both children and adults cheered on their favorite dog, Barbados Judge,
Senator Keith Laurie, examined and scrutinized all facets of the many different
breed.
"It was a fantastic day for dogs", said Laurie who volunteered
this weekend to Grenada for the past four years. "I always enjoy myself
at this event", he said.
With the continued support of sponsors, Friskies Alpo of Bryden & Minors,
the Society is able to raise money which helps care for the animals of the
island. All the money raised goes towards helping Grenada's animals through
many different programs the Society offers to the public, from education
to free vaccinations to free spaying and neutering.
From all indications, each year the Grenada Dog Show is growing larger and
the events more competitive in the spirit only true dog lovers can inspire.
Event organizer, Peggy Cattan said, "This show is not just based on
beauty and breed but how well the dogs respond to their handlers".
The motto of the Grenada Dog Show is "All Dogs! All Sizes! All Welcome".
