Billy needs your help!

Billy needs your help!

Nobody wants to get that call. I had seen one of our foster pups, Willow, earlier in the day with our Vet. She had a funny tummy and was given medication but didn’t seem very sick. Then, later that night I started to get phone calls from other foster volunteers. A week earlier we had placed 12 mastiff mix puppies into foster homes. Their mama had an unexpected litter of 12 puppies and the owner had asked us for help in finding homes for her puppies. After talking to our foster volunteers, Billy and Harley, two of the 12 pups, were rushed to the emergency vet clinic. Billy tested positive […]

Vinny’s Journey

Vinny’s Journey

Have you ever felt a little lost? Unsure of what your next steps in life are? For me, this feeling came a little later in life. It wasn’t until my health started to decline that I found myself lost, but with a little hope and some help from my friends, I was found. It’s a funny thing; getting older. When I was younger, I could run for hours, only stopping to get a quick drink before I was off again…now I still run – but it seems as though each day brings a new ache or pain. Maybe it was because I was getting older? Or that I started to […]

Brant County SPCA Assists with Dog Transfer from the US

Brantford, ON (Sept. 27, 2021) The Brant County SPCA has welcomed 3 more dogs from overcrowded shelters in the United States. Through our friends at the Ontario SPCA, this is the second time in the past few months that our shelter has been able to open our doors to animals south of the boarder. There are many animal shelters in the United States that are at, or nearing capacity, which means they don’t have space to help any more animals. When partnering animal organizations in the U.S. first reached out for help in late May, the Ontario SPCA reached out to their branches and non-affliates to see what could be […]

Animal In War Pins

Animal In War Pins

The Ontario SPCA and Humane Society releases a new commemorative Animals in War collectible pin each year leading up to Remembrance Day.

Funds from the sale of the pin help provide care for animals in need, as well as support our veterans. Due to the global pandemic, the Ontario SPCA has increased its commitment to veterans in 2020 by donating $2.50 from each pin sold to Royal Canadian Legion branches across Ontario. The first Animals in War pin was launched in 2017 and […]
