“Peter” Snuggles up in his New Home
Found in the Springwater area by a local farm, “Peter”, a Treeing Walker Coonhound mix was shivering and alone. Thankfully, staff from the Ontario SPCA Barrie Animal Centre were able to safely retrieve him.
Although very fearful at first, he settled in quickly and warmed up to our staff. After joining the manager on Rock 95 and Kool FM for National Cupcake Day, he was adopted the next day!
We are thrilled that Peter found his forever home.
