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.

Lonely Travis Finds Forever Home
When “Travis” was found, he was a sad sight. With matted fur and ribs showing, it was clear he was a stray who had no access to food or shelter in quite some time. With some TLC and nutritious food, the staff at the Ontario SPCA Renfrew County Branch was able to nurse him back to health.
Travis’ playful personality began to shine through, and it wasn’t long before visitor Kaitlin saw him and fell in love. She reports back that he is best friends with her other dog Trigger and they couldn’t be happier!

Spook-tacular HOWL-ween Party
We had a blast this Halloween with our HOWL-ween party!
The Ontario SPCA Renfrew County Branch held a fundraising event with the help of our 11 awesome volunteers, and was attended by kids and pets in amazing costumes such as ninjas and butterflies. There were lots of games, activities and prizes for attendees, and we managed to raise $300 in donations for the shelter.
Thanks to everyone who joined us for this special event!

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.
