Do you accept strays?

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.
