2 Proudly supporting the following community initiatives Devoted to improving the communities we work and live in The Leggat Automotive group (LAG) was founded in 1922 and has grown to provide a family of dealerships to service Southern Ontario. LAG is committed to providing exceptional customer service and supporting community initiatives that help strengthen our region. The Leggat Care Foundation is teaming up with community partners to take on some of the toughest challenges that face our society; where we live, work and raise our families. We have put an emphasis on health care, poverty reduction and education opportunities as the paramount foundation of our efforts. LAG focuses on these categories as a best way to have a positive impact in our community, and remove barriers that may stand in the way of people achieving their true potential. The Leggat Auto Group is very supportive of random acts of kindness but we do believe in adopting a long term collaborative strategy that builds a healthy, vibrant community. 2 St. Joseph s Healthcare HAMILTON PROFESSIONAL FIREFIGHTERS ASSISTANCE FUND Hamilton Rescue. Rehab. Re-home. The Hamilton/Burlington SPCA (HBSPCA) has been saving animals lives for 128 years. Today, HBSPCA donor supported programs touch the lives of almost 4,000 animals every year. Every day is a commitment to act and speak for those who cannot speak for themselves. Our Investigation Team responds to all calls about animals in distress; the Team educates pet parents, issues orders for improved animal health and well-being, rescues animals from neglect and abuse, and charges offenders. Homeless and abused animals re-discover unconditional love, care, and play in kennels and foster homes, and 2,000 animals find their forever homes every year. Many of the homeless, abused and neglected animals that arrive at the shelter need medical care; the Companion Animal Hospital (CAH) was added to the shelter in Accredited by the College of Veterinarians of Ontario, the CAH is supported by trained veterinarian and animal care staff, and assisted in no small measure by trained volunteers and students. With a CAH on site, every adopted animal is healthy, spayed or neutered and micro chipped when it joins its forever home. The CAH also performs approximately 1,500 affordable spay neuter surgeries on community owned pets in eligible families. The Canadian Standards of Care (2013) are shaping best practice at the shelter and in community for the 21st century. None of this is possible without the support of community donors who help make miracles happen every day. All for the animals. You can be a local hero and save an animal s life every day of the year.

3 Talia s Story Hamilton Animal Services called the HBSPCA in September 2014 about an injured kitten in need of urgent care. Weighing only 0.5kg, Talia s leg had a piece of string wrapped around it so tightly that it had cut off circulation and stunted its growth. Talia was admitted to the HBSPCA Companion Animal Hospital for same-day surgery. She was placed in foster care for recovery and was adopted by her foster family two months later. Lucky Talia! This three-legged feline runs and jumps like no other all thanks to donors, who keep our accredited Companion Animal Hospital equipped and operating. Before After Imagine What Your Dog Could Do! Where will YOU be September 13th? The Hamilton/ Burlington SPCA invites you and your friends (both twoand four-legged) to join us for the 26th annual Wiggle Waggle Walk to help raise funds, all for the animals! Last year, over 550 friends, families and their dogs wiggled and waggled their way down the 5km path at Confederation Park and some even splashed in the wave pools at Wild Waterworks. Join us this year to fundraise and walk as a pack or as an individual. Your donations and pledges help the animals at the shelter waiting for their second chance home. Enjoy a day with your dog in the park. Take in live music, some of Hamilton s finest food trucks and on-site vendors. Plus, those who raise $100+ will be invited to the Doggie after Party in the wave pools at Wild Waterworks. To sign up today or for more information visit our website at Let s get wigglin and wagglin! Walk. Raise funds. Save animals lives. Imagine what your dog could do! Ora s Story After This amazing girl was brought to the shelter by the HBSPCA Protection Team when her owner was unable to provide care. Ora was suffering from Glaucoma in both eyes. Left untreated, Glaucoma can result in blindness as well as the stretching and enlargement of the eye. This causes pressure and intense pain. Because Ora s vision was already severely compromised, both eyes were removed to alleviate her suffering. Ora had an excellent recovery and was adopted two weeks later in March Ora settled right in to her forever home. Before 4 5

4 Protecting Animals at Risk In 2014: 2000 adoptions 3134 animals spayed/neutered & microchipped at the HBSPCA Companion Animal Hospital 228 community owned animals microchipped at HBSPCA clinics Partnerships for a humane community Pets Make a Difference Who doesn t welcome the unconditional love of a pet, and spending time with a furry friend? HBSPCA volunteers and pet companions brighten the lives of residents in our community every day. Visiting pets engage autistic children in the world around them, and stimulate memory and conversation among seniors in long-term care and hospice homes. Our animal-assisted literacy program runs in At Home on Campus Pet visiting animals and volunteers went back to school in Fall Why? To help first year Social Science students at McMaster University feel at home away from home. Students can find the transition to university lonely and difficult. There is evidence to suggest that time with pet companions relieves stress, partnership with the Hamilton Public Library Turner Park Branch and helps children build their reading skills in 6 week sessions. The library provides two reading buddy volunteers and the HBSPCA provides two dogs and a rabbit, with human handlers. The children rotate through three stations; quiet reading, literacy-based games and reading directly to the animals. engages conversation among peers and promotes student retention. In this pilot program, about 450 students came out to scheduled pet visits on campus. In these relaxed visits, students report feeling refreshed, comforted, and connected, says Professor Lori Campbell. There are moments of great joy; you can see it on their faces. 4weeks 4boys 4dogs 4life The Hamilton/Burlington SPCA is privileged to partner with Arrell Youth Centre in the D-Bronx Program which teams up 4 homeless dogs with 4 young men, who are in care at the Youth Centre. The Arrell Youth Centre is a residential secure custody centre for youth in conflict with the law and is operated by Banyan Community Services. Twice a year, 4 youth are paired with 4 homeless and adoptable dogs from the shelter. The boys care for their foster dogs with the help of Staff from the HBSPCA and Arrell. The boys learn patience, compassion, and responsibility by caring for and training the dogs. The dogs get ready for their forever homes, learning new skills and behaviours. The program is a second chance club for all. HBSPCA Protection Officers are on the front lines of animal welfare in Hamilton and Burlington. They enforce the cruelty provisions of the Criminal Code of Canada and the Ontario SPCA Act. The Team responds to calls about animals in distress or neglect in city and country, in homes, fairs and on farms. Our Officers are educators too. Sometimes, advice on basic pet care and a helping hand is all that is required to help an owner be a better pet parent. Officers follow up with owners regularly, checking in on compliance with best pet care. By educating community members on what it takes to keep pets healthy and happy, Officers are growing a humane community. Where are animals rescued from? 1132 from Hamilton Animal Services 90 by the HBSPCA Protection Team 738 surrendered to HBSPCA care 124 from other sources 6 7
