November 2014 Welcome to NewsHound!
In this edition of NewsHound:
The Ontario SPCA is gearing up for the holidays with some great programs in support of the animals. After a successful campaign last year, iAdopt for the Holidays launched nation wide November 1st, 2014. Rescue groups, SPCAs and Humane Societies are coming together to promote responsible pet adoption over the holidays.
As part of the iAdopt for the Holidays Campaign, Ontario SPCA Branches are offering a reduced adoption fee of $99 for all cats and kittens. View adoptable cats.
And what gift-giving season would be complete without the return of Paws & Give™, the Ontario SPCA's symbolic gift catalogue.

"Lucy" Needs a Home
Found alone at the side of a busy road with a bag of food next to her, a dirty Hound/Collie mix was brought into the Ontario SPCA Lennox and Addington Branch. “Lucy” is six years old and was given a full health workup, including some vaccinations, corrective dentistry and a teeth cleaning.
She is spayed and now ready for a home! If you think you can give Lucy a wonderful forever home, please contact us at 613-354-2492.

KONG Toys Donated
In a shelter environment, the benefits of toys and items for entertainment can be immeasurable for the animals in our care.
Thanks to the generosity of Frieda and Delores, the staff at the Ontario SPCA Lennox and Addington Branch were so grateful to receive a donation of fun enrichment toys for both our dogs and cats by KONG Cares.
These toys reduce stress for the animals and keeps their minds and bodies healthy.

Giving Tuesday - Give the Gift of Time
On Tuesday, December 2nd, 2014, Giving Tuesday will be celebrated all across Canada, and internationally around the world. Following Black Friday and Cyber Monday, it is a day to give back, in whatever way you choose, but it is also an opportunity to teach the importance of philanthropy to our younger generations. The Ontario SPCA could not continue its life saving work without the help of our wonderful volunteers.
This Giving Tuesday, give the gift of your time!
Contact one of the Ontario SPCA branches or affiliates to see how you can help.
You can also contribute to Giving Tuesday by donating online.
