The Ottawa Humane Society (OHS) has made the difficult decision to cancel its annual Wiggle Waggle Walk and Run for 2021 due to the ongoing public health crisis.
To ensure essential resources are available for the animals, the OHS is turning the event into an online fundraiser where would-be walkers and runners can raise money for the animals through their own fundraising campaigns.
High temperatures forecasted for Ottawa this week pose a great danger to pets left alone in cars, warns the Ottawa Humane Society (OHS).
“Dogs die in hot cars,” said Bruce Roney, OHS President & CEO. “Temperatures in vehicles rise extremely quickly — even with windows open. Pets can quickly overheat, leading to brain damage and even death.”
Earlier this month, Sunny, a five-month-old Yorkshire terrier, arrived at the OHS with a broken leg. An X-ray revealed that Sunny’s elbow had a complicated fracture and that amputating the damaged leg was in the puppy’s best interest.
The Ottawa Humane Society is calling for more people to provide temporary homes for Ottawa’s animals by signing up for the organization’s foster volunteer program.
The Ottawa Humane Society is offering a $5,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest of the person responsible for killing four cats in Ottawa’s west end.
Anyone with information about these incidents should contact Ottawa Police West Criminal Investigations Section at 613-236-1222 ext. 2666.
As Ontario enters Step 2 of reopening and prepares for backyard Canada Day celebrations, the Ottawa Humane Society is preparing for a spike in lost dogs.
With fireworks and other noisy displays, an increased number of pets become lost or injured as they bolt from the loud noises.
A necropsy — conducted by the Ottawa Police West Criminal Investigations Section — of one of the deceased cats from Ottawa’s recent string of west end killings revealed that the perpetrator is a wild animal — most likely a coyote.
More deceased cats with signs of abuse have been found in Ottawa’s west end in an area bounded by Greenbank, Baseline, Merivale and Hunt Club Road. In total, six cats have been discovered and are under investigation.
