Find your new best friend during the Ontario SPCA’s Spring Adoption Days

Brockville – Give an animal the loving home they deserve during the Ontario SPCA and Humane Society’s Spring Adoption Days, taking place Friday, May 29 and Saturday, May 30 at its 13 animal centres across the province, including the Ontario SPCA and Humane Society Leeds and Grenville Animal Centre.

This special two-day event is designed to help as many animals as possible find loving families, with a special focus on helping large breed dogs find homes. These big dogs often wait longer for adoption due to their size, but they have just as much love to give. To help them on their journey home, adoption fees for dogs over 65 lbs have been reduced by 50 per cent during the event.

At the Leeds and Grenville Animal Centre, Antonio – or “Tony” to his friends – is hoping to find an active family to call his own during the adoption event. The one-year-old German Shepherd mix is a fun-loving, friendly dog with a big personality and an even bigger love for adventure. Whether he’s running around outside, chasing toys or playing fetch, Tony is always ready for fun. This handsome, goofy boy would thrive in a home that can give him plenty of exercise, playtime and attention, and because of his energetic play style, he’s looking for a home without cats. His adoption fee will be reduced by 50 per cent over the two-day adoption event.

“Spring is one of our busiest times of year, with more animals coming into our care,” says Shawn Aaron, Manager, Ontario SPCA and Humane Society Leeds and Grenville Animal Centre. “Spring Adoption Days give these animals a chance to find loving families while also opening space for others who urgently need us. We’re especially focused on helping our large breed dogs find the homes they’ve been waiting for.”

There are 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. Adopters also receive one free 24/7 virtual appointment with Vetster, an Adaptil or Feliway pheromone diffuser, and a Pet Valu coupon book with a value of $300.
