Ten years as a volunteer in the marketing and adoption-promotion department for a dog adoption agency, Johanne Tass\u00e9 realized that despite all the efforts made by similar organizations, the number of animals in shelters was consistently high. Miss Tass\u00e9 created the caacQ to resolve the problem of animal overpopulation, to implement cost-effective solutions for the well-being of companion animals in our communities. To be respected as sentient beings and not a simple object. Furthermore the caacQ is working diligently so the killing of healthy animals will only be a sad memory in our collective minds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Adoption, sterilization and permanent identification is our message to the public and the authorities.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our Mission The Companion Animal Adoption Centres of Quebec (caacQ) was created so we can have a direct impact on reducing the number of companion animals killed in the Province of Quebec.
