Give an animal in need the gift of a loving forever home this holiday season with the Ontario SPCA and Humane Society’s iAdopt for the Holidays campaign, which officially launched Monday.
Presented by Swiffer, iAdopt for the Holidays is a holiday adoption initiative that runs until Dec. 31 at Ontario SPCA animal centres across the province to find loving forever homes for as many animals as possible. Last year, 500 animals in Ontario found their forever homes during the iAdopt for the Holidays campaign.
With many people enjoying time off during the holidays and being home together as a family, now is the perfect time to welcome an animal into a new home. Together as a family, they can spend time with their new furry friend and help them settle into their new home.
Already have an adopted animal? Visit iadopt.ca to enter Ontario’s Cutest Adopted Animal Photo Contest for your chance to win weekly prizes from Swiffer, as well as the grand prize of a $500 PetSmart gift card to spoil the furry friend.
Those not able to adopt right now can still help an animal in need. Give back to vulnerable animals while finding the perfect gift for that special someone on their holiday list by shopping the Ontario SPCA’s Paws & Give online giving store at iadopt.ca.
“When you give an animal a home, you’re not only changing that animal’s life, you’re also bringing joy and love into your life,” says Esther McCutcheon, Manager, Ontario SPCA Lennox & Addington Animal Centre. “iAdopt for the Holidays is all about making lifetime matches.”
Animals adopted through the Ontario SPCA are spayed or neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations. In addition, every adopter will go home with Swiffer’s Get Pet Ready Guide, with tips and tricks on how to care for your new furry friend while maintaining a clean home. Adopters will also receive a Swiffer Duster™ Pet Heavy Duty Starter Kit to help get their homes and hearts ready to bring home a new furry friend this holiday season.
