Take Me Home: March 26, 2009

The York Region Ontario SPCA offers a weekly summer program called "Connected Kids Camp" for children aged 8 - 12. My daughter attended the camp when she was younger, and loved it. Go here for more information.

Now on to some of the animals available for adoption at the shelter:






Two-year-old Adam is curious and affectionate, and has the sweetest face. He came to the shelter as a stray, and is looking for a home he can call his own. TRANSFERRED TO CAMBRIDGE SHELTER






Just under one year old, energetic and playful Kollai is a Siberian Husky cross who needs a family that understands the breed. He has some anxiety issues, and is on a special diet. Kollai understands basic commands and gets along well with his fellow canines. ADOPTED






Henry is five years old, and extremely affectionate. He followed and rubbed against me as I made my way around the room. I think this is one very loyal cat. ADOPTED





The centre (Mohill) is located at 16586 Woodbine Avenue, just south of Mulock/Vivian Sideroad. Their adoption hours are:

Monday to Wednesday & Saturday:
12 - 6 p.m.
Thursday & Friday: 12 - 7 p.m.
Sunday: 12 - 5 p.m.

For more information on these and the many other pets available, go to the OSPCA York Region Website.

Take Me Home: March 18, 2009

Good news! The Mohill Clinic in Newmarket is now open. For just $50, owners can have their pets spayed or neutered. Not only that, the centre is offering vaccinations for about $10. Spread the word, and take advantage of this wonderful service. Phone for an appointment.

I've been ill, so unable to visit the shelter for the past month. Now feeling much better, I went today to take pictures and see some friends (both the furry and un-furry kind). Here are just a few of the furry ones I ran into (and they just happen to available for adoption):







These two one year old boys are John and Paul (I wonder if there was a Ringo and George too?). I can't tell them apart, but they were both very playful when I visited. BOTH ADOPTED






Julian is a sweet, two year old male. He loves to be picked up, and will bury his nose into the crook of your arm. If you have lots of love and attention to give, then Julian might be the cat for you. TRANSFERRED TO CAMBRIDGE SHELTER






Two-year-old Sunshine watched carefully as I snapped pictures and pet the other cats. When I finally came to her, she purred happily. I think she may have even smiled. TRANSFERRED TO CAMBRIDGE SHELTER






This little guy is just one of many Llasa Apso mixes currently available at Mohill. They range in age from about one year to ten years. He is friendly, but it's impossible for me to take his picture if I let him out of the cage -- I need more hands! ADOPTED
