Another Happy Ending
Nissan was quickly adopted, but unfortunately brought back because the other dog in the house did not adjust well.
He was at the shelter again for a couple of weeks until a family with their own older dog came in wanting to adopt another older dog as a companion. They chose Nissan!
Nissan and his new brother “Arnie” took a shining to each other right away. Nissan is settling in well and loving all the attention he is getting. He is also making lots of new friends with some dog cousins of all sizes! View animals available for adoption here.

Kids Camp a Success During the week of July 28th to August 1st, the Ontario SPCA Lennox & Addington Branch held our first Kids’ Camp of the summer, for kids aged 8-10.
We had a full house this year, and the kids got to go on some very fun field trips, including a visit to a dairy farm and a tour of a veterinary clinic.
Other activities included walking the shelter dogs and puppies and playing with the cats and kittens!
We want to thank our volunteers who donated their time to give these kids a great week!

"Champ" Needs Your Help
The Ontario SPCA Lennox & Addington Branch is
currently seeking donations for a good cause!
A young kitten named "Champ", about two months
old, was dropped off at the shelter dragging his front leg. We rushed him to
the veterinarian for x-rays: it was determined he had a full break to his
humerus bone.
We were able to amputate the leg, but now we are looking for
donations to cover the cost of this expensive surgery.
He is a very sweet
kitten, and he is currently recovering in foster care.
Every little bit helps,
so please donate and help this little furball find his forever home!
Donate
Now.
