January 2017

We're still on cloud nine as we reflect on 2016. The year was filled with record-breaking adoption numbers, new play yards for the dogs and incredible fundraisers that continue to grow. We can’t wait to see what's in store for 2017!

Bake a difference during National Cupcake Day™

Preheat those ovens! National Cupcake Day™ is coming up on Feb. 27 and you’re invited to help “bake” a difference for animals in need.

Now in its fifth year, National Cupcake Day is presented in partnership by the Ontario SPCA and BC SPCA and is a collaborative event to support local SPCAs and Humane Societies across the country.

To participate, register to host a National Cupcake Day party and invite co-workers, friends and family. Guests donate to the participating animal welfare charity of the host’s choice in exchange for a cupcake, raising critically-needed funds for animals that are abused, abandoned, neglected or no longer wanted. Cupcake Day parties can be held anywhere, and on any date in January or February.

Visit nationalcupcakeday.ca to register, bake and donate.

Newshound Cold Weather

Take extra precautions during cold weather

If it’s too cold for you to go outside, it’s too cold for your pet! Every year, the Ontario SPCA investigates thousands of complaints about animals left unprotected from winter weather. Exposure to harsh conditions can cause serious illness or death to animals, particularly during periods of freezing rain and rapid temperature fluctuations.

Keeping pets safe and healthy during the winter months doesn’t end with keeping them warm. There are other hazards to be aware of, including salt and other chemicals used to melt snow and ice on roads and sidewalks. They can burn your pet’s sensitive paws and can cause illness if ingested. Before your pet heads out into the great outdoors this winter, here’s what you need to know.

LA-Pandora.jpg Volunteer with Us

Could Pandora be the charm in your life?

Pandora came to us as a pregnant stray with ulcers covering her lips and body. She was placed in a foster home until her single kitten, named Plum, was ready to be weaned and adopted. Pandora is now ulcer-free and is looking for a loving home of her own. Could it be yours?

Volunteers wanted

Do you have some extra time to share with animals in need? We need volunteer drivers to transport animals to veterinary appointments and to assist with animal transfers. If you love animals, believe in Animal Welfare philosophies, and want to help us in our life-saving efforts, we promise you a rewarding and satisfying volunteer opportunity.

Over 5,300 animals find homes during iAdopt for the Holidays

iAdopt for the Holidays is over for another year and over 5,300 animals found loving homes through participating SPCAs, Humane Societies and rescue groups across Canada, including over 1,600 animals adopted through Ontario SPCA animal centres during the two-month adoption campaign.

iAdopt for the Holidays, supported by Royal Canin, took place from Nov. 1 to Dec. 31 at participating SPCAs, Humane Societies and rescue groups nation wide. The goal of this annual event is to get as many animals as possible placed into loving homes during the holiday season. We are so pleased to say the campaign was a great success!

A big thank you to everyone who participated in this year’s campaign. You helped change the lives of animals in need this holiday season!

On the road to a new home

We love sharing success stories! Tux, now named Willie Nelson, was adopted before Christmas and has been bringing joy to this little girl since he was adopted into her family.

Have you adopted from us? Let us know how our “alumni” are doing in their new home. Drop us a line with your update and photos.

Looking for a small, low-maintenance pet? Have you considered a rat? Ontario SPCA animal centres across the province recently welcomed a large number of these pocket-sized pets after close to 600 rats were removed from an apartment in North Bay.

Rats will be available for adoption for only $5 each at participating PetSmart locations in Sudbury, Barrie, Newmarket, Vaughan, East Brampton, Scarborough, Pickering, Whitby, Peterborough, Cornwall, Belleville, Kingston and North Bay, Richmond Hill and Toronto.

The rats are patiently waiting to find a loving home. Could it be yours?
