Newshound Shelter Health Pro

New Shelter Health Pro website launched

The Ontario SPCA has launched a new online tool, shelterhealthpro.com, to equip animal shelter staff, volunteers and veterinary care providers with resources to make animals more comfortable in a humane and healthy environment.

While designed specifically for animal shelter staff, volunteers and veterinary care providers, the information available on the new Shelter Health Pro website is applicable to anyone responsible for housing a large group of animals. This includes breeders, kennel operators and event organizers, such as those hosting dog shows and pet expos.

The goal of the website is to save lives with the most current best practices for improving animal health and welfare through effective management strategies, protocols and resources for infection and disease prevention and control.

Friends for Life! Walk™ fundraiser welcomes 70 walkers

Enthusiastic walkers came out to the Wye Marsh on Sunday, Sept. 25 for our Friends for Life! Walk in support of the animals in the Midland & District community.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make the Friends for Life! Walk such a success! With a total of 70 walkers and 40 dogs, it was our best turnout to date and it made for an exciting day. The event wouldn’t have been successful without the generosity of our community, the commitment of our volunteers and everyone who donated, fundraised or participated in the walk.

A special thank you is in order for Paul's No Frills and our Midland Pet Valu for all their hard work in this event.

 Midland Taylor  Midland Adoption

Meet the volunteer who is always smiling

This month we would like to highlight the volunteer efforts of Taylor! Enough good things cannot be said about the work that she does for our centre.

Our days are made easier when she’s here and we are always so thankful to have her come through our doors. Taylor is always happy to put in extra work and extra time when needed to make sure all of our animals receive the best care! She never arrives without a smile and is prepared to help walk the dogs in rain or shine, socialize with the cats or help members of the public.

Our animals are happier and healthier thanks to Taylor.

 

 

 Munich Meets His Match

Meet Munich, a handsome five-year-old cat with so much love to give! Munich was in a need of a forever home after being found as a stray in Thunder Bay and brought to the Humane Society there.

When Munich was transferred to the Ontario SPCA Midland & District Animal Centre, the staff quickly fell in love with this incredible little guy. After being in our care for weeks, our staff and volunteers couldn’t understand why this social, friendly guy hadn’t been adopted yet.

Finally at the end of September, Munich’s new forever family walked through the door of our centre! We had posted his picture and some information our social media the day before. When the family said they were here to meet Munich, the chubby orange cat they saw on Facebook, we knew this was it!

We are all so happy Munich will get a fresh start in his new home!
