To help its longest-term residents find loving homes, the Ontario SPCA York Region Animal Centre is hosting an adoption event with reduced adoption fees.
From Friday, Sept. 13 to Sunday, Sept. 15, the Ontario SPCA will be reducing adoption fees by 20 per cent at its 12 animal centres across the province. The reduced adoption fees apply to the more than 200 adoptable animals across the province, but the goal is to find loving homes for the more than 70 animals who have been in the care of the Ontario SPCA for longer than 30 days.
The longest-stay animals at the York Region Animal Centre are three-month-old rabbit siblings Tortilla, Pita, Baguette, Rye and Sourdough, who have been waiting to find a loving home for 123 days.
“We are seeing an increase in the number of animals coming into our care, and many of them are staying with us longer before getting adopted,” says Sonya Reichel, vice-president of operations, Ontario SPCA and Humane Society. “We want to find loving homes for as many furry friends as possible during this adoption event so we can help even more animals.”
When you adopt, not only are you giving an animal a second chance, but animals adopted from the Ontario SPCA are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and they go home with food from Royal Canin to help ensure a smooth transition into their new home.
