Volunteer Spotlight - Meet Janet

The Ontario SPCA is truly blessed to have many wonderful and dedicated volunteers. This month we would like to introduce Janet, a volunteer at the Ontario SPCA Orillia Branch for just about a year now. 

Janet primarily walks the dogs, but has also been an integral fundraiser in our National Cupcake Day where she created and sold fabulous cupcakes to friends, families and acquaintances to support the animals at the Ontario SPCA Orillia Branch.

Pippa Needs Your Help

Pippa was found cowering in the centre median on Highway 11 just north of Orillia. She appeared very dirty and extremely frightened.

Upon examination, it was determined that this little Shihtzu was in need of immediate care.  Her coat was sparse and it appeared she had not been groomed in quite some time. The staff began by treating Pippa for a severe flea infestation and clipping her too-long nails.

"I thought I would write to give you an update on a dog we adopted from the Ontario SPCA Stormont, Dundas & Glangarry Branch just over 2 years ago.  We adopted Heidi, who was previously Tinkerbell, on June 30th, 2011.  We were told she was rescued from a puppy mill situation.
