Ontario SPCA working with northern communities on adoptions

The Ontario SPCA says it has accepted 150 dogs and cats from northern Ontario so far in 2026 to be adopted in southern Ontario.

The society says it most recently brought 22 cats and five dogs from northern communities to find them homes through its adoption program.

“The need for support in the North remains high, but so does the compassion of the communities and partners who come together to help,” says Arista Wogenstahl, Northern Regional Manager of Community Outreach Services with the Ontario SPCA and Humane Society.

“Bringing more than 150 animals into our care this year is a testament to what’s possible when we work together to give animals a brighter future.”

The cats and dogs arrived in animal shelters in Sudbury, Orillia, Midland and Durham on March 14th.

Once ready, they will be placed up for adoption.
