iAdopt: Furever Homes brings new beginnings for adopted animals
by Ontario SPCA and Humane Society | Campaigns Happy Tails | September 30, 2025

The Ontario SPCA and Humane Society is thrilled to share the success of our recent iAdopt: Furever Homes adoption event, held Sept. 26-28, thanks to the incredible support of HomeEquity Bank.
Over the course of three days, we witnessed the power of community, compassion, and connection as a total of 123 animals found their happily-ever-afters! Each adoption represents not just a new beginning for the animals, but also a deep, meaningful bond for their new families.
By reducing adoption fees by 20% and waiving fees for senior pets, HomeEquity Bank helped more animals find loving homes. Senior pets, who are often overlooked, were the stars of this event. Their calm, steady personalities proved to be the perfect match for adopters seeking companionship, routine, and joy. Pets bring unconditional love and comfort to their adopters, and caring for an animal provides daily structure, boosts well-being, and reduces feelings of loneliness.
Beyond adoptions, the event was also about celebrating community. Families, volunteers, and supporters came together to give animals the second chance that they deserve.
We extend a warm thank you to Kurt Browning, World Figure Skating Champion and proud animal lover, who made a special guest appearance at our Ontario SPCA York Region Animal Centre on Sunday, Sept. 28 to meet adopters and help shine a spotlight on the many animals waiting to find their match. With every tail wag, purr, and happy adoption, the spirit of iAdopt shone through.
If you couldn’t attend this event, there are still many animals across Ontario waiting for loving homes. Visit ontariospca.ca/adopt or visit your local animal centre to meet them.
Not ready to adopt? Consider fostering! Providing a temporary home for an animal in need is another rewarding way to change a life – for the animal, and for you! Learn more about becoming a foster volunteer.
Thanks to your support, iAdopt: Furever Homes was a heartwarming success. Together, we made a difference one adoption at a time.

I stand behind SPCA with my monthly gift. I am so happy there are folks like you to care for those who can’t help themselves. My family and I have had animals all our lives and know what a comfort they are. Thank you SPCA.
