Because the Ontario SPCA York Region Branch receives
no direct funding from any level of government for
local animal sheltering, each branch relies on the
involvement and generosity of the community to care
for thousands of homeless animals every year. Check
this page regularly for updates on the many special
events that help keep the doors open.
You
can make a difference when you get involved.
