KAWARTHAS-With a record number of animals in
its care, the Ontario SPCA and Humane Society is hosting Fall Adoption
Days on Friday, Sept. 25 and Saturday, Sept. 26 at its 13 animal centres
across the province.
During the special two-day event, adoption fees for adult cats, dogs and
rabbits will be reduced by 15 per cent to help as many animals as
possible find loving homes.
The Ontario SPCA says it is currently caring for more than 650 animals across
its animal centres – the highest number of animals in its care at one
time in the past five years. Animal numbers have increased as more
animals have come into the Society’s care following the wildfires in
Northern Ontario, along with an increase in requests from families
looking to re-home their pets.
“Every animal deserves the chance to find a loving home, and right now,
there are more animals than usual waiting for that chance,” says Sonya
Reichel, Vice President of Operations with the Ontario SPCA and Humane
Society. “Fall Adoption Days are an opportunity for people to open their
hearts and homes to an animal in need, while helping us make space for
other animals who may need our support.”
There are many great reasons to consider adoption. Not only are you
giving an animal a second chance, but dogs and cats adopted from the
Ontario SPCA are spayed or neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. They
also go home with food from Royal Canin, as well as other adoption
perks, to help ensure a smooth transition into their new home.
