Will YOU give an animal the gift of a loving family this holiday season? The holidays are a perfect time to bring a new pet into your family and discover all the amazing gifts they'll give back year-round!   We invite you to take part in iAdopt for the Holidays, our year-end adoption campaign, supported by Royal Canin®. With many people home together celebrating - why not include a new furry friend as part of your family? As an adopter, you'll have a chance to WIN free pet food for a year from Royal Canin.

Zoey needs your help!  When we met Zoey, we could immediately tell she was in pain. Unable to bear weight on her right front leg, you could easily see this adorable Pomeranian mix had a serious injury.  X-rays revealed Zoey was suffering from a break in the lower part of her front right leg. The surgery to repair the injury was a success, but Zoey still has a long journey of rehabilitation ahead of her and she needs your support. The cost of Zoey’s surgery, medication and post-operative therapy are expected to exceed $6,000. Will you donate today to help Zoey, and other animals like her?
Holiday season adoption tips  With the holidays just around the corner, we wanted to share some adoption tips for all those hoping to adopt a pet over the next few months. Dave Wilson, Director of Shelter Health & Wellness at the Ontario SPCA, joins us to talk about this topic and share best practices for helping your pet adjust to their new environment, when they move home with you! Check out this video for tips on helping your pet get comfortable in their new home!	Why you should consider adopting a senior pet November is National Adopt a Senior Pet Month, and while we are dedicated to find every animal a home, we want to highlight some of the great reasons for adopting an older pet.   Read our blog, Why you should consider adopting a senior pet and you might just find the perfect reason to add a furry senior friend to your life!
November is Make a Will Month In this eposide of Animals’ Voice Pawdcast, we speak with Kate Turoczi, Manager of Planned Giving at the Ontario SPCA. She talks about why you should get a Will, what happens without one, and how you can support your favourite charities in your Will.	Have you pre-registered yet for National Cupcake Day™ 2019?
