NIAGARA FALLS, ON – MARCH 19, 2024 – The Niagara SPCA & Humane Society has received a $35,000 grant from
PetSmart Charities of Canada® to help prepare more pets in Niagara for adoption. An estimated one hundred thousand
pets make their way into shelters each year in Canada. In partnership with PetSmart Charities of Canada, the Niagara
SPCA will bring adoptable cats to the Niagara Falls PetSmart location in support of National Adoption Week, taking place
March 18 - 24, 2024.
“With the support of the PetSmart Charities of Canada grant we will be able to showcase our adoptable pets out in the
community with some great planned events this year. By getting them out in the community we are able to connect
adopters and the pets we care for in a fun and inviting environment with the goal of finding more forever homes,” said
Tammy Gaboury, Animal Care Manager of the Niagara SPCA.
“Shelters across the country are struggling to keep pace with the number of animals coming in and need support from
their communities to bring pets and people together,” said Heidi Marston, director of pet placement at PetSmart
Charities of Canada. “We’re proud to support Niagara SPCA and Humane Society and the essential work they do to care
and advocate for the animals that come through their door in need of loving families. Please consider supporting their
lifesaving work through volunteering, fostering, adopting, or making a donation.”
PetSmart Charities of Canada National Adoption Week is a special time during the year. PetSmart stores feature adoptable
pets to meet and cuddle in spacious areas, and staff and volunteers are on-hand to make introductions and answer
questions. Potential pet parents can also learn about the products and services they’ll need for the best possible start with
their new family members.
