Register Today to Walk for Animals in Need
The Friends For Life! Walk™ presented by
Pedigree® will take place at the Ontario SPCA Leeds & Grenville
Animal Centre in Brockville on Sunday, September 25th!
The Friends for Life!
Walk™ is a major fundraiser for the Ontario SPCA and its Affiliates. 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.
We can’t do this alone,
which is why we need you to go the extra mile to help vulnerable animals.

No
Hot Pets campaign gains momentum
Thanks to our local Canadian Tire Store in Brockville for
letting the Leeds & Grenville Animal Centre, along with Brockville Fire Services
and Brockville Police, host a few public awareness sessions for our No Hot Pets
campaign. This was a successful event, showcasing our Animal Centre, our local
Ontario SPCA agent and Brockville Emergency Services working together to get
the message out to the community.
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.

Senior dog gets new lease on life
Sometimes it takes a special matchmaker to find forever homes
for our animals. One such person is volunteer Helen Shea. She has made a
significant impact in many areas of our Animal Centre since joining our team
two years ago.
Recently, Heather met Sterling, a wonderful nine-year-old yellow Labrador Retriever who came into our care. Given that Sterling
had severe plaque on her teeth and some problems with her hips, the right home
was essential for Sterling in her senior years.
Sterling was in need of a quiet life to retire to and that's
exactly what she found with her new owner, Linda Caldwell. Thanks to Helen, who
reached out to her network of friends in search of an adopter, Linda and
Sterling found each other. We wish them all the best!
