The Ontario SPCA and Humane Society is a registered charity that has been operating for 150 years. The Society provides care, comfort and compassion to animals in need in communities across Ontario. It values all animals and advocates to treat them with respect and kindness. The Society strives to keep pets and families together and do so through a variety of community support services, such as sheltering and adoptions, including emergency sheltering, feral cat management programs, animal transfers, food distribution, humane education, animal advocacy, and spay/neuter services. The Ontario SPCA does not receive annual government funding and relies on donations to provide programs and services to help animals in need.

Fostering benefits extend beyond animals to the volunteers

Some animals find it challenging and stressful to transition into a shelter environment. Other animals may need to remain in our care for an extended period before finding forever homes due to illness, injury, age, lack of socialization or behavioural challenges. Foster volunteers can make all the difference for animals like these. They provide a temporary home where animals can unwind, be cared for and rehabilitated. In return, these animals provide caring volunteers with a rewarding experience, which is often beyond their expectations.
