Do you accept strays?

If you find a stray animal, please first contact the municipality’s animal control services for assistance. If there are no animal control services in place in the area where the animal was found, please reach out to our animal centre. When space allows, we accept stray animals from areas without municipal coverage. If we are at capacity, we will do our best to connect you with alternative resources.

How can I report animal cruelty? 

The Ontario SPCA does not have the legal authority to investigate concerns for the welfare of an animal. If you see an animal in distress, please contact the Government of Ontario’s Provincial Animal Welfare Services team at 1-833-9ANIMAL (1-833-926-4625) or your local police services. If the animal’s life is in danger, call 911 immediately as this is an emergency.

What items do you accept as donations? 

As a registered charity that is 100% donor-funded, we rely on the generosity of our supporters. We gratefully accept monetary donations, which can be made in person at our animal centre or online.
