FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE<\/b><\/p>\n

The Ontario SPCA and Humane Society supports Northern animals affected by wildfires<\/b><\/p>\n

Stouffville, ON\u00a0(June 16, 2025)\u00a0<\/b>\u2013 As wildfires continue to impact Northern Ontario and Western Canada, the Ontario SPCA and Humane Society is responding to support animals and families displaced by these devastating events.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe wildfires are creating desperate situations for animals,\u201d says Arista Wogenstahl, Northern Regional Manager, Community Outreach Services, Ontario SPCA and Humane Society. \u201cWe stay in close contact with first responders, community partners, and First Nations Chiefs, and respond quickly when requests for assistance come in \u2013 ensuring animals get the support they need, when they need it most.\u201d<\/p>\n

Through 11 emergency requests coordinated via the government\u2019s Provincial Emergency Operations Centre, the Ontario SPCA has shipped over 37,000 lbs. of pet food and supplies to affected regions. The Ontario SPCA is now preparing to expand its response and is calling on the public for support.<\/p>\n

While government resources help cover the cost of food and supplies during evacuations, donations are needed to support animals in areas at risk. This includes providing pet food, emergency supplies, transportation, and temporary sheltering. Support will also be needed in affected communities long after the fires are extinguished to ensure animals continue to receive adequate supplies and care.<\/p>\n

Pet Valu has stepped up to\u00a0support the Ontario SPCA\u2019s emergency efforts with a $10,000 product donation through its Companions for ChangeTM\u00a0program. As part of this donation, Pet Valu is sending vital supplies \u2013 including bowls, collars, leashes, crates, and food \u2013 to Thunder Bay to support relief efforts.<\/p>\n

Animal rescue organizations looking to support animals affected by wildfires are encouraged to contact the Ontario SPCA, which is coordinating efforts and directing support to the areas that\u00a0need\u00a0resources.<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now, our greatest need is supporting communities that haven\u2019t been evacuated but are already facing serious challenges due to wildfires,\u201d says Wogenstahl. \u201cWhen a call for help comes in, we need to be ready to support the animals impacted by the fires, both in the short term, and in the months ahead as communities recover.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Ontario SPCA and Humane Society Provincial Office sits on the traditional territory of the Wendat, the Anishinabek Nation, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, the Mississaugas of Scugog, Hiawatha and Alderville First Nations and the M\u00e9tis Nation. This territory was the subject of the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement between the Iroquois Confederacy and the Ojibwe and allied nations to peaceably share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes. The treaties that were signed for this particular parcel of land are collectively referred to as the Williams Treaties of 1923<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
