Grant Program
The Hamilton/Burlington SPCA (HBSPCA) is pleased to announce it has been awarded a $10,000 grant from PEDIGREE Foundation to increase the likelihood of successful adoptions through obedience training for dogs in the organization’s adoption program.
We know that dogs with basic obedience skills are more likely to be adopted and with the support of the PEDIGREE Foundation, the HBSPCA can increase the number of dogs in our foster program receiving obedience training
