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.

"Georgia" the Pig Finds her Home

“Primrose” the pot bellied pig has been adopted this New Year! New owners, Michelle and Scott are thrilled with her and have decided to rename her “Georgia” and welcome her into a home with another Pig named “Ellis”.

“She is already full of spunk and attitude!  She's an amazing, smart and loving little piggy! We couldn't be happier having her as part of our little corky family! Thank you for making that all happen,” said Michelle.

Georgia also loves going outside in her hot pink harness to play in the snow with her wiener dog friend.  The staff at the Ontario SPCA Renfrew County Branch are thrilled that Georgia has found the perfect place to call home.

 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.

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.
