October is RVT month

The Ontario SPCA is excited to celebrate Registered Veterinary Technicians (RVTs) all month long. RVTs are an integral part of any animal health care team, but they are particularly valuable in a shelter environment. These skilled, trained professionals offer support on how to manage the animals in our care and confidently provide their expertise in terms of medical advice and next steps.

Join us in celebrating and thanking all of our hard-working RVTs out there making a difference!

Visit our blog to learn more about RVTs and their role in animal care and shelter medicine.

Keep your pets safe this Halloween 

Halloween can be a stressful time for your pets. Whether you are dressing up your furry friend or staying home handing out treats, the hubbub of activity can be exciting and a little scary.  

If your pet is a little weary of strangers coming to the door, it might be best to keep them in an enclosed room or crate. Pet costumes should also fit appropriately and have no small bits to chew. Most importantly, candy and chocolate can be fatal if ingested. Please ensure treats are kept safely away from your pets.

Keep your pets safe this Halloween by visiting our blog for more great tips.

 Newhound iAdopt October  Name the Foal winner

Finding homes for the holidays

The Ontario SPCA is gearing up to find homes for as many animals as possible during “iAdopt for the Holidays”. From November 1st to December 31st, 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.

Watch for the campaign launch on November 1st and stay tuned for exciting contests, adoption stories, photos and more during iAdopt for the Holidays.

Our foal has a name

Thank you to everyone who entered the Name the Foal contest last month. With nearly 500 entries, we received many fantastic suggestions and the judges had a difficult time selecting a winner. After much deliberation, we are please to announce the winner of the contest and recipient of the Green Hawk $100 gift card and prize pack.

Congratulations to Marj Burnette of Gravenhurst for naming our sweet foal Quin (Algonquin). We hope you enjoy your prize!
