Meet Jeffrey our @RoyalCanin Pet of the Week! He's an eight-month-old long-term resident in Sudbury. He's curious and still catching up on the puppy lessons he missed. He'd thrive with a dog-savvy adopter who loves routine and positive reinforcement: ontariospca.ca/adopt/jeffrey…

RVT Month is closing with Jellybean’s story 💙 A day after arriving at our animal centre, she was in distress. RVT Scott kept calling clinics until he found a vet who could operate that day. She recovered and was adopted April 19. Thank you to our RVTs, now and every month 🐾
