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.

One-Eared Bunny is AdoptedIn July, an adorable rabbit by the name of “Dimples” came into our care at the Ontario SPCA Provincial Education & Animal Centre as a stray.
Unfortunately Dimples was missing one ear, and we suspected frostbite. However, this quickly became his adorable trademark. Dimples is one of the most cuddly and kind rabbits that we have ever had.
When a visitor noticed him, it didn’t take long for them to fall in love. We are so happy that he was finally adopted and will be warm and cozy in his new home for the holidays!

SAP Canada Helps Out
Recently, members from SAP Canada came to the Provincial Education & Animal Centre to spend a day volunteering.
The volunteers built cat towers so that our cats could climb, hide, jump and perch. They also gave us a big hand in harvesting our vegetable garden and preparing it for next spring. The Ontario SPCA Provincial Education & Animal Centre would like to thank SAP Canada for being such fantastic volunteers. View all volunteer opportunities.

T o ensure that all of the dogs at the Ontario SPCA Provincial Education & Animal Centre are happy, healthy and safe, we need to have a leash and collar designated for each animal.
Due to the high number of dogs we sometimes have in our care, we unfortunately can run out of these items, which are crucial to reducing the spread of disease and improving animal comfort.
We are in need of collars and leashes in all sizes for the various dogs that we care for. Any donations of new or gently used leashes and collars would be greatly appreciated!

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.
