The Ontario SPCA and Humane Society has more than 200 dogs in its care across the province who are waiting for homes.
For National Dog Day on Aug. 26, the SPCA issued a press release encouraging people who have been thinking of adopting a dog, to visit SPCA animal centres or go online to the adoption site at ontariospca.ca/adopt to see animals awaiting adoption.
“Among the dogs waiting for a loving home is Edwena, who has been waiting now for more than 280 days for her new life to start,” said the SPCA in a press release. “Currently available for adoption at the Ontario SPCA’s Provincial Dog Rehabilitation Centre, two-year-old Edwena loves going on walks and playing, and she’s a great cuddler. She has spent time in a foster home and thrived in a home environment where she lived with other animals. She learns quickly and would make a great companion for someone out there.”
Animals adopted from the Ontario SPCA are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and they go home with food from Royal Canin to help ensure a smooth transition into their new home.
“We’re committed to finding these dogs homes, no matter how long it takes,” says Sonya Reichel, Vice President of Operations with the Ontario SPCA and Humane Society.
To view animals available for adoption, visit ontariospca.ca/adopt.
The Ontario SPCA is seeking foster volunteers to provide TLC to animals to prepare them for adoption. To learn more, visit ontariospca.ca/foster.
