Arcus Legal is proudly supporting the Nova Scotia SPCA with our “Fur Foot Friday” collaboration!

The SPCA Animal Hospital is currently running a program to help families who have been hesitant or unable to have their male cat fixed, due to the cost associated with the procedure. This is a program where subsidized and affordable rates are offered to those who may need it.

Having your pet fixed not only prevents unwanted litters but can also improve your pet’s life by helping fix and prevent behavioral and health issues!

If you have a male cat you would like to have fixed, but feel as though you are putting it off or simply can not afford it, you can find the application at https://www.novascotiaspca.ca/fixmypet-application/[Read more]

Arcus is celebrating our second Fur Foot Friday!

Did you know that the SPCA has recently introduced Virtual Adoptions? These innocent pets are some of the many that will be with the SPCA even longer due to the current State of Emergency. Your donation will provide shelter, medicine, toys, and food to fill their hungry bellies. As a thank you for your gift, you will receive monthly updates of your virtual furry friend while they await their forever family.

Due to COVID-19, the SPCA faces reduced availability to many resources required to help animals in need. This year, the Nova Scotia SPCA will care for more than 6,000 pets; some who need medical treatment to survive and some who need one-on-one support to overcome abuse and neglect.… [Read more]

Today we celebrate our first Fur Foot Friday at Arcus Legal!

Did you know that SPCA shelters, such as the Nova Scotia SPCA – Dartmouth Shelter, do not receive any government funding? Medical treatment is expensive, and with a proud no-kill policy, donations help the SPCA to recover these costs and provide life-saving care for animals in need!

Arcus Legal has collaborated with the SPCA to dedicate all of our Casual Friday donations in support of our furry friends! Staff at Arcus are wearing a variety of fun furry UGG style footwear to represent our friend’s little feet. Dexter and Brutus approved!… [Read more]

Brutus and Dexter are preparing for the mandatory mask policy that is coming into effect as of Friday, July 31st.

In accordance with the new regulations in Nova Scotia, we kindly ask that you wear a mask upon entering and exiting the building when visiting our firm!
