Our northern transfer team is on another journey to bring dogs from the north to southern Ontario for adoption. We're grateful to Save-A-Dog Network Canada for their ongoing efforts to help curb the dog overpopulation problem in the north and are proud to partner with them! Would you like to help? https://www.canadahelps.org/en/dn/51297 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ www.wellandspca.com www.facebook.com/WellandDistrictHumaneSociety www.twitter.com/WellandSPCA

"Wild Rose" came to us with severe lacerations under the front leg requiring surgery. They're proving a little tricky to keep patched up as dogs don't take medical advice very well but that won't stop our team. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ www.wellandspca.com www.facebook.com/WellandDistrictHumaneSociety www.twitter.com/WellandSPCA

"Shirley" came to us from Manitoba back in March. She's still a bit shy but nowhere near as shy as when she first came here. We are looking for a foster for her. The foster would need to visit with her a few times at the shelter so she can get used to them. We're hoping this will help make the transition easier. Contact the Welland shelter if you are able to help. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ www.wellandspca.com www.facebook.com/WellandDistrictHumaneSociety www.twitter.com/WellandSPCA

Another littermate reunion from our rescue transfer in March! This time, we meet up with the pups of "Hanna" (now "Havana"). Unfortunately, mom couldn't make the date but the pups showed up! And what's that at the end? A music change? It almost sounds like an original work. Wonder if there will be more of that...tomorrow? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ www.wellandspca.com www.facebook.com/WellandDistrictHumaneSociety www.twitter.com/WellandSPCA

Dog overpopulation in northern Canada has rescues very busy trying to save as many dogs as possible.

"Kingston" came to us through our flight program from northern Manitoba with some rough elbow injuries. He's on the road to recovery thanks to our expert medical and surgical staff. We also do a quick check up on a recent "Shelter Medical" featured kitty. Join RVT Michelle on this edition of Niagara SPCA Shelter Medical and remember, all of this is made possible by community support. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ www.wellandspca.com www.facebook.com/WellandDistrictHumaneSociety www.twitter.com/WellandSPCA

Brought to Ontario back in March (see our video "Long Road Home" for that story) and adopted out amid a pandemic, a few of these pups got together for a small playdate 5 months later on a Saturday afternoon at the shelter. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ www.wellandspca.com www.facebook.com/WellandDistrictHumaneSociety www.twitter.com/WellandSPCA

This kitten was found with severe eye injuries possibly caused by untreated infection. Too small for surgery, the kitten was kept on antibiotics and pain management until able to survive the procedure to remove the eye that could not be saved. Care for the animals in our shelters is paid for by our generous supporters!

"Macha" is a 3.5 year old female domestic medium hair cat. She generally keeps to herself and has been known to play with a couple of the cats in the community room. She would be best in a quiet home without young kids. She needs her space. Give us a ring at the Welland shelter if you would like to know more. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ www.wellandspca.com www.facebook.com/WellandDistrictHumaneSociety www.twitter.com/WellandSPCA

This unfortunate kitten turned up at the shelter with a pretty severe front leg injury. Trust us, it looked much worse at first than what's shown in the video. The leg couldn't be saved but this little guy is young enough that he should have little trouble adapting. As usual, funding for this type of operation is provided by public donations. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ www.wellandspca.com www.facebook.com/WellandDistrictHumaneSociety www.twitter.com/WellandSPCA

"Dion" came to us about 4 months ago. She's very friendly with people and would be best as an only kitty in the house. She has a sensitive stomach and is on special digestive food. If you are interested in giving this friendly gal a good home, contact us at the Niagara Falls shelter (905-735-1552 x 1) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ www.wellandspca.com www.facebook.com/WellandDistrictHumaneSociety www.twitter.com/WellandSPCA

This friendly kitty came in as a stray with a horrific facial injury. He's on the mend now thanks to our dedicated medical staff and the continued support of community donations. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ www.wellandspca.com www.facebook.com/WellandDistrictHumaneSociety www.twitter.com/WellandSPCA

This little mink was found milling around a Beer Store parking lot. A quick consultation with a wildlife custodian resulted in a safe release nearby. Young wildlife is out there now. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ www.wellandspca.com www.facebook.com/WellandDistrictHumaneSociety www.twitter.com/WellandSPCA Instagram.com/spcaniagara

Starting this Wednesday, we will be launching our online adoptions of our Manitoba pups. Each day, 1 pup will be placed up for adoption. A limited number of adoption applications will be taken and staff will review. The successful applicant will have the puppy brought to them by a member of our Community Engagement Team. This will be a first for our shelter! Watch our website and social media for more details on when and how to apply. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ www.wellandspca.com www.facebook.com/WellandDistrictHumaneSociety www.twitter.com/WellandSPCA
