Bill 22: The Animal Protection Amendment Act

"Through a stakeholder engagement process, the Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation — which oversees the APA — carried out conversations across the province, identifying what changes needed to be made to modernize legislation to provide better protection for animals in Alberta.

As a primary enforcement agency, the Alberta SPCA was asked to provide key insight, thoughtful language and detail on what updated legislation might include.

On March 30, Bill 22, the Animal Protection Amendment Act, was introduced by the provincial government.

The bill received Royal Assent on May 14, officially marking a major step forward for animal protections in Alberta."

We are desperately pleading for a LONG TERM foster for our sweet girl, Darling.

Darling has been in our care since June 2024 💔 after being transferred from another rescue, and our hearts are breaking watching her struggle in the shelter environment 😔.

Darling is a truly incredible dog. She is amazing with children, gentle, patient, and endlessly loving 💙. She adores people and hasn’t met a single person she hasn’t completely fallen in love with. Everyone who meets her falls for her, too 🥹.

But shelter life is taking a toll on her 💔.

Darling is dog reactive and needs to be the only pet in a home without small animals, which has made finding the right placement more challenging 😥. Yet when she’s in a home, everything changes. She becomes calm. Relaxed. Comfortable. Her personality shines in the most beautiful way, and you get to see the amazing dog we know and love.

Please, if you’ve ever considered fostering, consider Darling. She is ready to give so much love to the person willing to give her a chance 💙.
