Bella Loves to Romp
with Friends
If you’re considering adoption and want a friendly and
playful dog that enjoys a good cuddle, then you need to meet “Bella”! This
active, sociable Hound mix is five years old and looking for her forever home. She also gets along with other dogs and would
fit right in with your current pack.
| We invite interested parties to contact us for more
information on Bella, or visit her here at the Ontario
SPCA Lennox & Addington Branch, 156 Richmond Blvd. in Napanee, Ontario.

Volunteer Spotlight
Emily McCracken, our fabulous pet photographer, diligently
takes photos of our adoptable animals each week to help them look their best
and find their forever families.
During
our recent Friends for Life! Walk™ for the Ontario
SPCA Lennox & Addington Branch,
she kindly donated her time and skills by setting up an outdoor portrait
studio and taking fall themed photos for all of our participants.
Best of all, Emily recently fell in love with a beautiful
Australian Cattledog puppy named “Shadow” that was up for adoption. We are so happy for both Emily and Shadow.
Thank you Emily for your excellent contributions!

Fall Pet Safety
Autumn is a wonderful time of year to get outdoors with your pet. Fresh scents, fallen leaves, perfect weather…the stage is set for new adventures.
There are different risks that occur with the changing of seasons, so whether you are venturing outdoors, or remaining indoors, pet safety should always be a priority. Visit the Ontario SPCA Blog for fall pet safety tips and get out there and enjoy the weather with your furry friends.

Volunteering Can Turn Into a Career
Lending a helping hand can not only warm your heart, it can provide an opportunity to get your "foot in the door" and develop skills to help advance your career.
At the Ontario SPCA, volunteers are an integral part of our operations and often take on an array of responsibilities from socializing the animals, assisting with events, and lending their voice to the animals in need. For many, coming into the shelters is a way to give back to the community, but for others it is the beginning of a career path.
If you are looking for a rewarding volunteer experience that can help build your resume, why not check out the opportunities available at one of the Ontario SPCA Branches.

Pet Insurance - Is it Right for You?
Vet bills aren’t cheap! Just how much are you willing to pay for your pet’s health? For many, it’s not a question of cost to save their fur babies. However, not everyone can afford to spend thousands of dollars on procedures for their pets, which is why Ontario SPCA Pet Insurance can be a great option. Take Marc's story as an example. At a young age, his Siberian Husky named Kodi, developed colitis. Shortly after that, he was diagnosed with epilepsy and required extensive treatment. Since they had opted out of purchasing pet insurance, the cost of Kodi’s testing, diagnosis, pricey medications, bimonthly blood testing, visits to emergency, holistic food and a slew of other medical expenses, quickly added up. Marc didn’t hesitate to purchase pet insurance for his next two puppies.
