Welcome to NewsHound!

Winter is here!  With temperatures dropping across the province, remembering to keep all our family members, two-legged and four-legged, safe and warm during the winter season is crucial.  Check out some great resources on the Ontario SPCA Blog to help protect your pets.

 Pickles
 
Who Doesn’t Love Pickles?

Whenever we tell someone we work at the Ontario SPCA Orillia Branch, people often say, "How can you resist not taking all of the animals home?" 

This is exactly what happened to our newest employee Caytlynn who fell in love with “Pickles”.  When she saw this little fella she just had to adopt him! It didn’t take Pickles long to get settled in his new home.  He’s added so much joy to his family and entertains them every day.  We are so happy for Caytlynn and Pickles.

Cuddles for Cats

One of our cat socializers Carol is enjoying some time with Trinity during her weekly visit to the Ontario SPCA Orillia Branch. The cats just adore our volunteers who cuddle, brush them and give them tons of love. Every cat gets daily socialization with volunteers just like Carol to help our little friends adjust while in the shelter awaiting their new forever homes.

You can help the animals like our wonderful volunteer Carol.

 iAdopt for the Holidays
 
iAdopt for the Holidays a Big Success

iAdopt for the Holidays ran from November 1st to December 31st, 2014 across the country with the goal of getting as many animals adopted into loving new homes as possible over the holiday season. 

With 42 participating partners working together, a total of 3,774 animals were adopted over the campaign period. The Ontario SPCA itself made up 1,396 of those adoptions! 

We want to thank everyone that took part in the campaign. You helped to change the lives of thousands of animals in need. 

For more information on how you can get involved, visit iadopt.ca

Winter Care for Paws

Winter is harsh!   Harsh on us humans, and harsh on our pets as well.  They might have a beautiful fur coat to help protect them from some of that cold air, but like us, our furry friends require added care for their skin and paws. Ice-melting chemicals can also be harmful if left on the skin or ingested.

Read our blog post Winter Care For Your Dog’s Paws and Skin for great tips on how you can keep your pet safe and in tip top shape all winter long.
