Animals: As the weather heats up, the SPCA is launching its Sweat for Pets virtual fundraiser. The five-week Sweat for Pets campaign inspires participants to get active while raising funds in support of vulnerable animals in the community. Participants can run, walk, ride, swim or create a unique challenge of their own that matches their fitness level and abilities. Funds will support life-changing work to give animals in need a second chance and support the work the SPCA is doing in communities across Ontario. Participants register online and raise funds by asking family, friends and neighbours to pledge their support to help change the lives of animals in need. To sign up or donate, visit sweatforpets.ca.
