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

Sometimes you have to do more than that!Conforming to the old rules do not make change.Determination is not good enough!Sometimes Lyn,you have to knock the wall down!!!to make a change and be heard!like they did in Berlin..We as Canadians are far to complacent in these matters and that is why we are not taken seriously.Sorry but you are far to trusting of an institution that betrays what you stand for!I would not!!!!!! ever volunteer in Aushwitz, simply to feed and comfort living beings that are being Murdered!and abused!..I have principles and Morals in which I would die for!You are a fence walker!
