Register Today to Walk for Animals in Need
Our Friends For Life!
Walk™ ™ presented by Pedigree® is coming up quickly. Join us at Conservation Park in Napanee on
Sunday, September 25 to walk and raise funds for animals in need right here in our
community.
More than just a fundraising walk, the Friends for
Life! Walk™ is a fun-filled day that offers something for everyone. You don’t
need to bring a dog to the walk to participate. In fact, you don’t even need to
own a pet! The Friends for Life! Walk™ is a way for you to give back to your
community by helping animals in need.

Take the #NoHotPets Pledge
Did you know that dogs have a
limited ability to sweat and that even a short time in a hot environment can be
life-threatening? A dog’s normal body temperature is about 39°C, a temperature
of 41°C can be withstood only for a very short time before irreparable brain
damage or even death can occur.
We need you to help spread the
message about the danger of leaving pets unattended in vehicles. Take the pledge to receive a No Hot Pets car
decal to show your support. You can also invite friends to take the pledge on
social media using #nohotpets for a chance to win a weekly “cool pet” prize.
No Excuses. No Hot Pets.

Fixing the Pet Overpopulation Crisis Starts With You
Pet overpopulation is at a crisis
level in Ontario and we need responsible pet owners like you to spay it
forward. By spaying or neutering your pet, you’re doing your part to help
reduce the number of homeless animals that end up in animal centres across the
province.
Spaying and neutering is a
straight-forward medical procedure with many health benefits, including the
reduction in the risk of developing certain cancers and illnesses.
The Ontario SPCA’s
high-volume spay/neuter clinics are open Monday to Friday, with one Saturday
each month.

Help us raise money by recycling
Did you know that the
Lennox & Addington Animal Centre takes empty liquor bottles and cans, old
electronics, and aluminum?
All of these things help us to raise money to help
care for the animals.

Autumn finds a fur-ever home
We love sharing
adoption stories! We’re pleased to report Autumn the cat has a new family! Now
named Pickles, a name given to her by her new family’s three-year-old son, she
is fitting in perfectly. Her new family reports that she loves to play and has
a spunky personality, but is also very loving and affectionate – even cuddling with
the dog. In their words, “She is wonderful and has stolen our hearts already.”
We wish Pickles all the best with her new family.
