Birthday Party Frequently Asked Questions

May I request specific animals for the guests to meet?
If your child has an absolutely favorite animal, let us know and we'll do all that we can to make sure this animal is included in the party. However, animals are selected for the party based on their health, temperament, and how much they have been involved in other presentations. Since animals are unpredictable, we cannot promise any particular animal for your event.

What animals are we able to choose from?
Red Deer & District SPCA is home to dogs, cats, and a variety of small mammals. Depending on the animal, the children may be able to pet him/her. We are an animal welfare center that cares for pets that are sometimes become sick, stressed or uncomfortable around children. We strive to provide party participants with a safe and fun experience while protecting our animals from any undue stress. Therefore the type of animals available may vary depending on who our shelter residents are.

Will we see the kennels and pet the dogs and cats?
If you specifically request it, we can substitute a behind the scenes tour of the RDDSPCA for the animal presentations. The party guest will have the opportunity to interact with some of our adoptable cats and possibly, depending on the behaviour, our adoptable dogs.

What kind of decorations do I need to bring?
Some people put tablecloths on the tables, decorate with banners and balloons. If you purchase our deluxe decoration package everything will be taken care of . Please note: there will be very limited time to hang decorations, etc. as there may be parties preceding and following you booking. Decorations must be hung using painter's tape so as to not damage our walls.

Is the party appropriate for older children?
We're flexible, and we're able to gear the program to most age levels. RDDSPCA parties have been designed with children ages 4-11 in mind but other age groups can be accommodated by request.

Do I need to clean up after my party?
If you have booked a pawsitive party palooza  you are responsible to clean up following the party or pay an additional $25.00 cleaning fee. If you purchase the deluxe decoration package we will take care of the clean up too!
