Through the generous support of the late June Hooper and the Government of New Brunswick, the NBSPCA proudly operates the Happy Tails Fund — a vital program ensuring that no family has to choose between financial stability and their pet’s well-being.
The Happy Tails Fund breaks down financial barriers to essential veterinary care, preventing the heartbreaking choice between a pet’s health and household needs. By providing targeted financial support to families in need, we keep beloved pets in their homes, ensure animals receive necessary medical care, and reduce shelter intake rates.

The NBSPCA is grateful for the support from the estate of June Hooper, a lifelong animal lover, who passed away unexpectedly in 2022. June was always a devoted dog lover and had several dogs (and cats) at any one time. She became deeply involved in obedience training and competitions with her various dogs in the 1990s and was a lifelong advocate of positive reinforcement training.
