Pilots N Paws to the Rescue
We are thrilled to have worked with Pilots N Paws, a non-profit organization consisting of a national community of volunteers that provides free air transportation to Canadian animal rescues and shelters. In early May, Pilots N Paws contacted the Ontario SPCA Sudbury & District Animal Centre to coordinate the transport of ten cats and a rabbit from the SPCA Rouyn-Noranda in Quebec.
We are so grateful for the assistance of Pilots N Paws and look forward to working together again to help animals find their forever home! Thank you to all the volunteers for your commitment to Animal Welfare. |
Hurray for “Maxwell” and “Juniper”
Remember “Juniper" the sweet grey cat and Maxwell, our happy-go-lucky German Shepherd dog? Both of these animals required extensive treatment and orthopedic surgery while in the care of the Ontario SPCA Sudbury & District Animal Centre.
Thanks to the support of our community, they were given a second chance! Both Juniper and Maxwell were adopted into loving homes last month and are doing great! A big thank you to all of our supporters, volunteers, donors, medical partners, students and staff for giving these two wonderful pets a second chance at a happy life. |
