Pawsitive Words About the Ontario SPCA and Humane Society Cornwall and Region Animal Centre!

A smooth, supportive adoption experience with a perfect match

“The staff were very helpful and professional. The adoption process was easy and made us feel that all our questions and concerns were important, relevant and quickly answered. Our new pet was well cared for while in their care and is an excellent match for our family. Thank you to all this location staff for your loving care and professionalism.”

Fred C

A great experience finding the perfect cat for our family

“We had a great experience with them. Found a cat on their website and we called about it and came in the next day to see her. They were very knowledgeable about her; they told us about a few other cats they had. We ended up going home with her that day. She is happy and healthy and we love her very much. Thanks guys for everything you do.”

Jessica P

Incredible staff whose love and dedication shine through

“Incredible staff. Their love for the animals in their care is virtuous. We love our new kitty, Newton. Thanks so much for your dedication to animals.”

Richard K

Friendly, responsive staff and a smooth adoption process

“Just adopted a kitten at their centre. The staff are friendly and helpful throughout the whole process. They responded to my emails within 1 to 2 hours. And the adoption procedure was much more straightforward compared to the others. They took care of the animals really well, too.”

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.
