Walk for Animals in Need This September

Our annual Friends For Life! Walk™ is coming up on Sunday, Sept. 25. Enjoy beautiful trails with your two or four-legged friends, play games, socialize, and savour a delicious slice of pizza courtesy of Domino's Pizza.

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. 

Take the Pledge

Urgent Appeal August

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.

Maddy made a difference!

Thank you to Maddy, who helped at the Orillia Animal Centre’s booth in downtown Orillia on July 22-23 during the Downtown Block Party.

We had folks drop by to support our Friends For Life! Walk™ and to give their dogs a refreshment stop. Thank you, Maddy, for all your help!

 

Shelby found the purr-fect place

We’re pleased to report that Shelby has found a wonderful new home. His new mom is very familiar with Himalayan cats and all the care they require. She was very excited to have found this handsome, mature boy and we’re just as delighted! We wish Shelby all the best in his new home!
