Friends for Life Walk-a-thon: Barrie
Your Impact - The animals need you!
The Ontario SPCA is only able to be there for
animals thanks to the generosity of donors. The
demand for the Society’s services has reached
critical levels and there is an urgent need to
protect the animals. The Ontario SPCA receives no
government funding for animal protection, rescue or
adoption services. We must rely on the support of our
gracious family of supporters to feed, protect and
shelter thousands of abused, lost and abandoned
animals we expect to care for in the upcoming
year.
How donor dollars helped in
2011:
Intervention and Rescue
- Last year, Ontario SPCA agents across the province investigated no less than 13,000 complaints of animal cruelty, issued more than 1,700 orders, removed over 2,800 animals from life threatening situations and laid more than 240 criminal code and provincial charges.
Education and Awareness
- In 2011, we performed over 7,500 surgeries at our spay/neuter clinics to help prevent unwanted pets and overcrowding in animals shelters, and visited schools to educate children about the humane treatment of animals.
Your support for the 2012 Friends
for Life walk-a-thon will help us to:
- Establish a 1-800 centralized rescue hotline.
- Create a new Provincial Investigations Facility with a triage center, staffed by a group of specialized officers highly trained in handling large removals and how to document neglect to ensure success in the courts.
- Enhance our animal transfer program to safely transport animals.
- Strengthen and enhance our commitment to shelter health and wellness through our new Chief Veterinarian.
- Promote and expand our high volume spay/neuter clinics, doubling our capacity at our Newmarket site.
What your dollars
accomplish:
Raising $1000 will support our emergency response
efforts to rescue animals in immediate and urgent
need.
Raising $500 will provide the specialized care
and medical attention these dogs desperately need
after a lifetime of neglect.
Raising $250 allows us to provide one animal a
fill medical exam.
Raising $100 allows us to provide one spay or
neuter for an animal in need.
Raising $50 allows us to provide shelter stay
for one animal in need.
This is an event every participant and sponsor can
enjoy and fell proud to be a part of!
