‘Tis the season to adopt
iAdopt for
the Holidays is now in full swing, which means we’re asking you to consider
giving a homeless animal a loving home.
Until Dec.
31, the Ontario SPCA, as well as SPCAs, Humane Societies and Animal Welfare groups
across Canada are encouraging people to choose pet adoption as their first
option when bringing home a new family member. Be
sure to visit your local participating society to take part in iAdopt for the Holidays and change an
animal’s life this holiday season.
PLUS during the campaign period, all cats
and kittens at Ontario SPCA animal centres are available for adoption for only $99 and
you’ll receive a free box of Arm & Hammer® clumping cat litter while
supplies last!
Already have an adopted pet? Enter the iAdopt
contest for a chance to WIN free pet food for a year from Royal Canin!
Visit iadopt.ca for contest details.

Canada’s first Provincial Dog Rehabilitation Centre will assist dogs
that require extra care and attention
The
campaign to build the Ontario SPCA Provincial Dog Rehabilitation Centre is now
underway! This one-of-a-kind facility will fill a critical gap in current
services by addressing the special needs of dogs most difficult to adopt.
The
Provincial Dog Rehabilitation Centre will be built on Peterborough Humane
Society’s lush new 20-acre property, giving dogs a fresh start with lots of
opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. Designed from the ground up for dogs who
require extra care and attention, the building will feature an abundance of
natural light to promote healing and a layout that incorporates the latest
research and best practices in animal centre management.
Take
a few minutes to learn about this campaign in our Animals’ Voice Pawdcast.

Meet Judy, the newest
addition to the Rocky & Friends collection
This holiday season, we’re excited to introduce
Judy as the newest plush in our Rocky & Friends collection. Like the other
Friends, Judy is created in the image of a very real animal who got a second
chance because of caring and kind people like you who support the Ontario SPCA.
At
just three weeks old, Judy and her family were part of a very special journey.
The Ontario SPCA was invited by a remote Northern community to assist in a
stray dog transfer and rehoming operation.
At
the Ontario SPCA, Judy and her six siblings were put in the loving care of a
temporary foster home to be nurtured until they were old enough to be adopted.
This black Shepherd-Labrador mix and her siblings were all adopted and are very
happy in their new forever homes.
When
you give this plush toy as a gift, you will be helping to rescue other dogs like
Judy.

After surviving seven-storey fall,
Sky finds his forever home
A year ago, a six-month-old black
male cat was surrendered to the Ontario SPCA Barrie Animal Centre after
he fell off a 7th-storey balcony. Today, Sky has fully recovered and
is in his forever home!
Watch this interview with his “mom” and try
not to cry as you watch the love they have for each other.
