Make the holidays merry for animals in need during iAdopt for the Holidays
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
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.
