Take Me Home: January 25, 2010

When an animal is brought into the OSPCA, it receives the following:

Shelter and general care
Vet care
Extra medical treatment or surgery, if required
Food
Vaccinations
Micro-chipping
Deworming and flea treatment
Spaying/neutering

That's why a cat from the shelter might cost $150, and a dog up to $300. The OSPCA does not receive any government handouts, relying instead on money from donations, fundraisers, surrender fees, and adoptions. And speaking of adoptions, the shelter is bursting at the seams with pets waiting for a new home and family:

---

Take home six year olds, Karmela and Strider, and pay for just one cat. These two have been together all their lives and can't be separated. As I've said before, it's far better to have two cats so they can keep each other company. ADOPTED

---

Beauty, a Rottweiler/Shepherd mix, is a very excited three month old puppy. She's (impatiently) waiting for a family to call her own. ADOPTED

---

Just a year-and-a-half old, Lacey is an affectionate, slim kitty. ADOPTED

---

Five-year-old, Nemo, is a happy boy, with loads of energy. He gets along well with most, but would prefer a home without children. 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: January 1, 2010

A brand new year, and a brand new chance for these wonderful animals to find a home:

---

Seven-month-old, Tim, rolled around on his Christmas blanket waiting to have his belly rubbed. I obliged. He can be a bit shy at first, but warms up very quickly. ADOPTED

---

Tara watched my progress around the room. She's a curious, friendly, nine-month old Tabby. ADOPTED

---

Because they want to stay together, five-year-old sisters, Josie and Nappy, are two for the price of one. Note: Josie is no longer available for adoption. ADOPTED
