Day 1 of the 3 day spay/neuter clinic with The Ontario SPCA and Humane Society mobile animal wellness services unit is underway! Over the next 3 days, 75 cats will receive their spay/neuter surgeries, which makes a huge impact on local pet overpopulation. We’re so excited to be partnering with the Ontario SPCA and Humane Society in bringing this much-needed service into our community. The unit also serves as a sample of the permanent services we will be offering within our new Animal Care Centre!

Cats in Ontario need your help! Join the The Ontario SPCA and Humane Society in supporting a bill introduced by Davenport MPP Marit Stiles that would put an end to the inhumane practice of declawing cats in Ontario, a procedure that can cause a lifetime of pain for cats. Teddy’s Law would update provincial animal welfare legislation to ban the practice of declawing cats, unless a veterinarian deems it a necessary medical procedure.

This past weekend we shared while we have 105 cats currently in our care, they are not ready for adoption due to a few factors...waiting on spay-neuter surgeries is a big one! Oh, and we introduce our resident "bottle babies" who are snatching hearts left, right and center.

Adoption recap from last week! 2 dogs (including the big beautiful boy, Polar, with his new fur-parents here!) 2 cats 1 cockatiel ! ... Thank you to all of our adopters for making the important decision to bring a new member into your family through adoption.

A Sunday heart squeeze while you are enjoying your coffee...this thoughtful young PHS ambassador saves up his piggy bank money every year for our animals in need. Start ‘em young. It’s little humans like this that are going to change the world.

We know how precious your pets are to you & your family. Keeping your fur babies up to date with their tags & licensing means we can help get them home to you quickly & safely. New licensing fees coming December 15th...stay tuned for updates! (Thank you to PHS Alum, Ortiz, and his mom Jennifer for this lovely photo)

Flashback Friday to our amazing community partners, Gibson Building Supplies, P&D Roofing and BP Canada for coming together to help PHS!
