Baccalieu Bucks
A weekly toonie 50/50 Lottery fundraiser of the SPCA Baccalieu Trail!
HOW TO PLAY - Get your ticket number for $2 at any participating retailer. This number is yours to keep and play for the entire duration of the lottery. We will draw each Wednesday for a minimum cash prize of 50% of the money collected that week. TO PLAY AGAIN the next week you must bring a Toonie to any participating retailer. Write your ticket number on a sticker (provided at the retailer), put it on your Toonie and drop it in our box. You must play by the end of Monday to be guaranteed to be in the draw on Wednesday. If the number we draw has not been played, the prize that week is added to the next week. This escalating jackpot will grow until we find a winner! See other post for a complete list of all Lottery Rules.

-Bartlett's Irving, Bay Roberts

Microchip Clinic
Microchip Clinic! Sunday, June 29th 11AM-3PM at Pet Valu - Carbonear
Taking your dog up to the cabin this summer? Does your kitty like to go outside? Traveling with your pets this year? Consider having your pet microchipped! Even if your summer adventures only go as far as your own backyard, a pet microchip can still offer you peace of mind. Fences fall over, gates blow open and maybe fido or kitty will go for a summer adventure on their own!
A microchip is a radio-frequency identification transponder that carries a unique identification number. It’s roughly the size of a grain of rice. When the microchip is scanned by a vet or shelter, it transmits an ID number. When your pet’s registered microchip is scanned, the animal shelter or vet clinic will find your phone number so they can contact you as soon as your pet is found!
The microchip can help get you reunited with your lost pet!!!
If you‘d like to book an appointment during our microchip clinic please send an email to info@baccalieutrailspca.net for more info on how to register.
Cost: $30 per chip.
