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.

Sudbury Birthday Girl

Newhound iAdopt October

Birthday girl helps animals in lieu of gifts 

The Ontario SPCA Sudbury & District Animal Centre would like to thank Veronica Warwick-Chong for her very kind donation. At Veronica’s recent sixth birthday party, rather than accept gifts, she opted to have her friends purchase gift cards at local pet stores that could be donated to the Sudbury & District Animal Centre. The $80 in gift cards collected will allow the centre to purchase much-needed supplies that are used to assist animals in need of care. Thank you again Veronica! We all truly appreciate your giving spirit!

Adopt an animal this holiday season

It won’t be long until the holidays are here and the Ontario SPCA is gearing up to find homes for as many animals as possible during “iAdopt for the Holidays”. From Nov. 1 to Dec. 31, SPCAs, Humane Societies, rescue groups and Animal Welfare groups across Canada will be encouraging people to choose pet adoption as their first option when bringing home a new family member. The Ontario SPCA will also be rolling out some exciting new initiatives, contests and special promotions throughout iAdopt for the Holidays, so stay tuned for details!

 Dog Transfer  Sudbury fflw

58 dogs flown from Northern Ontario to find new homes

A plane carrying 58 community dogs in search of new homes arrived at the Peterborough Airport on Friday, Oct. 7 from Big Trout Lake First Nation, a community about 500 kilometres north of Thunder Bay.

In an effort to help address the pet overpopulation concerns in the community, Big Trout Lake First Nation invited the Provincial Animal Transfer Team – established by the Ontario SPCA and made up of volunteers and organizations from across Ontario – to assist with the transfer.

Upon arrival at the Peterborough Airport, the dogs were triaged by a team of volunteers from across the province, including veterinarians and veterinarian technicians. Once cleared for further transport, the dogs were brought to the Peterborough Humane Society, the North Bay & District Humane Society, the Welland & District Humane Society, and the Quinte Humane Society to be placed in their adoption programs.

Supporter raises close to $7,000 for Friends for Life!™ Walk

The 2016 Friends For Life! Walk was a big hit this year and we couldn’t have asked for a better day.

Over $10,000 was raised, largely in part due to the amazing efforts of Lee Duguid and her friend Brian Martin (and Teddy of course). By spending countless hours canvasing door to door, Lee managed to raise a whopping $6,799.52 and remains the top individual fundraiser in the province once again. Lee has raised approximately $78,000 for the Sudbury & District
Animal Centre throughout her 23 years as a walk participant and fundraiser.

On behalf of the staff and all of the animals, thank you Lee and Brian for your tireless efforts and dedication.
