animal’s life this holiday season.

and kittens at Ontario SPCA animal centres are available for adoption for only $99 and

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.

Puppies get a second chance
The
Ontario SPCA Renfrew County Animal Centre has some special puppies in its care.
When they were only days old, eight puppies were found inside a garbage bag on
the side of a road in Midland. Sadly, five puppies didn’t survive. The puppies
that did survive are currently in foster care and have been “adopted” by a
nursing dog that was surrendered into our care.
Thanks to support from the community, these puppies were able to get the urgent
care they needed. It has been truly heartwarming to see the love and generosity
that people have shown these little guys. From the bottom of our hearts, thank
you for your support!

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.

Help us stock our shelves for 2017
The
Ontario SPCA Renfrew County Animal Centre relies on generously donated supplies
to help us care for the animals in our centre. We are constantly re-stocking
our shelves and could use laundry detergent, paper towels, toilet paper, stamps,
non-clumping litter and medium-size cleaning gloves. Can you help our animals
during your next shopping trip by picking up those much-needed items?
