We are excited about a new venture this year. We are creating and selling fabulous holiday pet baskets filled with toys and treats for cats and dogs. Drop by the Ontario SPCA Midland & District Animal Centre to see our selection and learn how you can get involved in our iAdopt for the Holidays campaign. 

Rescued: 75 Dogs Given a Second Chance at Life

75 rescued dogs’ lives from a northern Ontario First Nation’s Community have been changed forever, and for the good.

The Ontario SPCA, along with support from Beat the Heat Kenora, the Thunder Bay & District Humane Society, the North Bay & District Humane Society and Cargo North Airlines were invited by Whitefish Bay First Nations Community to assist in the capture and transfer of 75 dogs and puppies.

iAdopt for the Holidays Kicks off with Chance to Win Free Food for a Year

We're kicking off the 2015 iAdopt for the Holidays campaign with a contest you won't want to miss! You can win a year's supply of pet food from Royal Canin AND weekly prize packs. Visit iadopt.ca for details and to get in on the action!

And don't forget to visit your local Ontario SPCA Animal Centre from now until December 31st and change an animal’s life this holiday season.

Things are Looking Good for “Sophie”

Do you remember “Sophie”, the sweet Husky mix stray who came into the Ontario SPCA Midland & District Animal Centre in really rough shape?  She was seriously neglected and had a four-inch pipe embedded in her nose.  

Well we are happy to report that Sophie is recovering nicely after surgery. Her foster family has been taking really good care of her and is going to be adopting Sophie as soon as she is cleared with a clean bill of health.

Meet the Bear & Velvet - New to Rocky & Friends

Bear is now a “Foster Father” to other cats in need of comfort. Velvet is now a therapy horse alongside her foal, Chantilly Lace. 

Rocky & Friends plush toys are all based on real animals that found forever homes! A perfect purchase for the animal lover in your life. Each purchase includes a premium plush toy, adoption certificate and story card. 

Staying Warm and Safe in the Cold Months Ahead

It’s inevitable. We live in Canada which means cold winter months are in the forecast. Whether you are planning to hibernate or excited to pull out the toque and gloves and bring your pet out for some cold weather fun, safety should always come first.

Enjoy a nice winter season with some cold weather safety tips.

Cuteness Overload

This year has been quite busy with kittens, and we are happy to say that it has been the best year for adoptions and foster to adopt.  

Emile is just one of the lucky ones who found a new best friend and the two are inseparable!

Come into the animal centre for iAdopt for the Holidays and find your new best friend!

Cat Care Volunteer Extraordinaire

We would like to shine the spotlight on Denise! Denise is a regular Cat Care Volunteer at the Ontario SPCA Midland & District Animal Centre and truly makes a difference. She cares for the cats and they absolutely adore her. Denise always makes sure all cats have enrichment toys and soft beds before she heads out for the day.

They sure are lucky to have you Denise. From all the staff and animals, we want to say a big thank you for your dedication to the animals.
