IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Stouffville, ON (May 27, 2024) – To help more animals find loving homes, the Ontario SPCA and Humane Society is hosting an adoption event with reduced adoption fees at its animal centres across the province.
From Friday, May 31 to Saturday, June 1, the Ontario SPCA will be reducing adoption fees by 20 per cent at its 12 animal centre locations province wide. If you’ve been thinking of adopting, now is the purr-fect time to welcome an animal into your life.
“We are reaching capacity at our animal centres as more animals are coming into our care, and they are staying with us longer before they get adopted,” says Sonya Reichel, Vice President of Shelter Operations, Ontario SPCA and Humane Society. “Our goal with this adoption event is to find loving homes for as many animals as possible so that we have the capacity to take in more animals who need our help.”
Animals adopted from the Ontario SPCA are spayed or neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and they go home with food from Royal Canin to help ensure a smooth transition into their new home. To view animals available for adoption, visit ontariospca.ca/adopt
If you’re not able to adopt, please consider donating to help provide care and shelter to animals in need. Visit ontariospca.ca/donate

The Ontario SPCA and Humane Society Provincial Office sits on the traditional territory of the Wendat, the Anishinabek Nation, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, the Mississaugas of Scugog, Hiawatha and Alderville First Nations and the Métis Nation. This territory was the subject of the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement between the Iroquois Confederacy and the Ojibwe and allied nations to peaceably share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes. The treaties that were signed for this particular parcel of land are collectively referred to as the Williams Treaties of 1923.
