Will Your Pet Be Cared For
Our pets are family! However, as we age, many pet owners have a growing concern over what will happen if we are no longer able to provide care for them.
If you do not have a suitable family member or friend you feel comfortable entrusting your pet to, the Ontario SPCA will be there through the Pet Guardian Program.
