TORONTO HUMANE SOCIETY PROCLAIMS OCTOBER ADOPT–A–DOG MONTH

TORONTO (October 1, 2005) – October is Adopt-a-Dog Month at The Toronto Humane Society and the shelter is full of great dogs looking for new homes.

“We have wonderful dogs waiting to be adopted,” says Lynda Elmy, Communications Manager. “Responsible ownership can help prevent many dogs from coming to our shelter in the first place. Adopt-a-Dog Month is a great way to advocate and promote responsible pet guardianship.”

The $50.00 dog adoption fee includes:

• Vaccinations to date
• Six weeks Pet Plan insurance
• Microchip identification implant
• Flea control treatment
• Dog care information booklet

As well, many shelter animals have already been spayed or neutered.

To inquire about adoptions, call 416.392.2273, check out the Society’s website at www.torontohumanesociety.com or, visit the shelter at 11 River Street.

The Toronto Humane Society’s Adoption Department is open:

Monday and Friday - 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.

Saturday & Sunday - 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

The Toronto Humane Society is a not-for-profit organization solely funded through charitable donations dedicated to promote the humane care and protection of all animals and to prevent cruelty and suffering.
