The Ontario SPCA aims to find loving homes for 500 animals during its adoption campaign
Stouffville, ON (Dec. 2, 2024) – This holiday season, the Ontario SPCA and Humane Society is spreading cheer for animals in need through its iAdopt for the Holidays campaign. Running now through Dec. 24, the campaign aims to find loving homes for 500 animals across Ontario, including long-term residents who are dreaming of spending the holidays with a new family.
Why adopt this holiday season?
For those considering adding a furry friend to their family, the holiday season can be the purr-fect time. With more people home during the holidays, animals can adjust to their forever homes with extra attention and care.
Animals adopted from the Ontario SPCA are spayed or neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated, and they go home with food from Royal Canin to help ensure a smooth transition.

Support animals in need, even if you can’t adopt
If you can’t adopt, there are still many ways to support animals in need. Donations help provide shelter and care for animals waiting for their forever homes. Every donation makes a meaningful impact.
Additionally, animal lovers can shop Paws & Give, the Ontario SPCA’s online giving store, which offers a range of products perfect for both pets and their people.

“We’re hoping to make this season merry and bright for animals in our care,” says Sonya Reichel, Vice President of Operations, Ontario SPCA and Humane Society. “With so many deserving animals waiting for their forever homes, we’re encouraging families to consider adoption this holiday season if they’ve been thinking of adding a furry friend to their life. Help us empty our animal centres so these deserving animals can spend the holidays with their new families.”

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.
