About the New Center

Located at 9350, boulevard Pie-IX , in the heart of the Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension borough, this modern 3,620 ^m2 (39,000 sq ft) building houses a shelter for abandoned, stray or surrendered animals, while offering essential services and support to the population.

A Shared Commitment
