Find your perfect match at the Ontario SPCA’s adoption event this weekend
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Stouffville, ON (May 20, 2025) – Meet your new best friend and give an animal the second chance they deserve during the Ontario SPCA and Humane Society’s spring iAdopt event, taking place May 23-25 at its 12 animal centres across the province.
If you’ve been thinking about adopting a furry family member, now is the perfect time to open your heart and home to an animal in need. Adoption fees will be reduced by 20% for long-term residents, which are animals who have been waiting more than three times longer than the average wait time to find a loving home.
Kane, one of the Ontario SPCA’s long-term residents, has been waiting for a loving home for nearly 100 days. The 2.5-year-old mixed-breed dog is as sporty as he is handsome. He’s still working on building his confidence, but his goofy and affectionate nature is starting to shine through. With time, consistency, and love, he’ll become a loyal and confident companion for that special person.
“Springtime brings a wave of new animals into our centres,” says Sonya Reichel, Vice President of Operations, Ontario SPCA and Humane Society. “By opening your heart and home this weekend, you’re giving a homeless animal a fresh start and helping us make room for the next ones who urgently need care.”
There are so many great reasons to consider adoption! Not only are you giving an animal a second chance, but animals adopted from the Ontario SPCA are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and go home with food from Royal Canin to help ensure a smooth transition into their new home.

The Ontario SPCA and Humane Society Provincial Office sits on the traditional territory of the Wendat, the Anishinabek Nation, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, the Mississaugas of Scugog, Hiawatha and Alderville First Nations and the Métis Nation. This territory was the subject of the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement between the Iroquois Confederacy and the Ojibwe and allied nations to peaceably share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes. The treaties that were signed for this particular parcel of land are collectively referred to as the Williams Treaties of 1923.
