Find the perfect gift this holiday season while also helping local animals in need with the Cold Noses Warm Wishes Auction, a fundraiser for the Ontario SPCA Orangeville & District Animal Centre. 

The Cold Noses Warm Wishes Holiday Auction went live on Monday (Nov. 20) and runs until Nov. 29 at 2 p.m. 

With the holidays just around the corner, the Ontario SPCA said the Cold Noses Warm Wishes Auction is a great place to find a gift for a special person or animal in your life. 

“Funds raised from the auction will be used to help our furry friends here at the Ontario SPCA Orangeville & District Animal Centre,” said Dawn Lyons, manager of the Orangeville & District Animal Centre. “Plus, you'll feel good crossing items off your holiday shopping list knowing that you're also supporting the care and shelter of vulnerable animals.”

A variety of items are available for bidding from the donation of local community members and businesses. 

Some of the auction highlights include hockey tickets for the Guelph Storm, a round of golf from Hockley Valley or the Orangeville Golf Club, theatre tickets, music lessons from TriTone Music Studios and vouchers for Let Me Out Escape Rooms.

As a registered charity, the Ontario SPCA does not receive annual government funding and depends on the generosity of donors to help change the lives of animals in need.
