- Emergency Rescue and Treatment
- Reuniting Lost Pets with their Owners

Our Mission

the prevention of cruelty to animals and the promotion of animal welfare.
Our Vision

difference for animals. The Ontario SPCA is an integral part of each community, promoting mutually beneficial
human-animal interactions, and is viewed as a desirable organization for volunteerism and support.
The future for Ontario that the Ontario SPCA is working to help create:

of a compassionate Ontario for all animals.
