JOIN US TO HELP STOP PUPPY MILLS IN CANADA AND CHANGE THE ANTIQUATED ANIMAL LAWS. Each year millions of Canadian companion animals are destroyed due to the greed of commercial puppy mills, the ignorance of back yard breeders and irresponsible pet owners. New laws, public awareness & compassion will end the suffering of the voiceless. Please help the animals.
To celebrate Canada’s canines and capture their most memorable moments, Kijiji Canada is hosting a photo booth at Woofstock, the largest festival for dogs in North America. People and their pets are encouraged to stop by the booth on Saturday, June 12 or Sunday, June 13 to play dress-up and pose for a photo.
Homeless pets urgently need the assistance of the public to avert a disaster created in part by the current economy and the closures of the Toronto Humane Society Shelter and the OSPCA Shelter in Newmarket.

Do dogs have celebrity alter egos? Elvis perhaps? Lady Ga Ga? Paris Hilton? Some owners think they do. To celebrate this year's Woofstock launch, we're hosting a chi-chi "Doggie Doggelganger" High Tea on June 6 at the Le Meridien King Edward Hotel to give 60 celebrity look-alike canines a chance to trot down the red carpet.
The Toronto Humane Society will be closing its doors from April 12th until June 1st, 2010. During this time, NO animals will be able to remain in the building. That means we only have 10 days to find all the animals at THS homes. This includes 44 rats, 18 rabbits, and 126 cats. If ever there was a time to adopt - now is that time! These animals need your help, and they need it now!
(Markham, Ontario): Charlie, Jack Russell, Chihuhua mix... 10 lbs... went missing March 23rd at 8pm. He chased a rabbit from my backyard and followed the rabbit through the fence in a little hole the rabbit had made. I was outside with him, however was unable to catch him.
Communities gather across the world to honour, remember and celebrate their beloved animal companions on World Pet Memorial Day. This is a day for people whose grief is often silenced to come together and honour in a public forum the bonds they have shared with their animals. This year’s World Pet Memorial Day (the third in Toronto) is being hosted by People Passionate about Pets in partnership with PawsWay Pet Discovery Centre.
The challenge? It’s March Break again: the time of year that gets parents wondering “how am I going to keep the kids busy for a whole week?” Finding new March Break activities for the family can be tough, especially for those on a budget (which in today’s economy is just about everyone). More than half of Canadian households have pets, so animal-friendly activities are a must-have for kids and parents alike. The solution? Families looking for free fun that involves the pets, should check out PawsWay Pet Discovery Centre this March Break. Have a dog or cat? Bring them with you. No pets? No worries! Come and meet people with pets!
