Spay it Forward
You heard of pay if forward, now is the time to Spay it Forward!
Pet overpopulation is at crisis levels in Ontario. Each year, tens of thousands of dogs and cats end up on the streets, where they fall victim to neglect and abuse, or in shelters in search of new homes.
You can help. Spay it forward today by donating the average cost of a spay/neuter procedure in one of our shelters.

Ontario SPCA Receives Generous Estate Gift
It is with deepest gratitude that we thank the late Gerald Yanke for his generous estate gift of $50,000 to the Ontario SPCA.
Gerarld and his partner Norber had a wonderful dog for many years that they both loved very much. Sadly, their family pet passed away in 2002. His deep love and affection for his dog inspired him to donate generously to the Ontario SPCA for animal care.
