Dear well-wishers and supporters,
2016 has been a very challenging year for us in trying to expand and consolidate our ongoing projects in an effort to acheive greater success for the animals in our region. Thankfully we have had the blessings and best wishes of supporters like you, who have stood by and helped us to overcome the incredible hurdles and meet all our obligations with determination and commitment.
We promise to do much more, and perform better in 2017, covering more areas and providing justice to more animals with your ongoing support.
As 2016 marks VSPCA's 20th anniversary, we wanted to offer some statistics on the animals we have helped in our 20 years.
