Every Christmas, the Orillia Public Library hosts the “Santa for Seniors” program. ODVS was thrilled to choose two seniors from the tree and made sure they had everything they wanted on their wish list. It was such a privilege to make someone’s Christmas a little bit brighter.

Every year, the Orillia SPCA hosts their beautiful Whiskers and Wags Gala. This year, Dr. Sally and our practice manager, Sheri, were able to attend. It was a great turnout and all the money generously donated will be used to care for the many animals that come through the SPCA every year.

The Kiwanis Club of Orillia hosted a silent auction that had amazing participation. ODVS was happy to donate a gift basket for someone’s lucky pet!

OCTOBER is Farley month. We were able to do our online silent auction this year among other fundraising efforts and raised over $9549 for the Farley Foundation!
Every year, we try our best to raise money for this amazing organization. We are so thankful for everyone who participated and generously donated.

This year we donated doggy swag bags for our canine participants at Charlee’s Run. All proceeds from this event support Neonatal and Pediatric needs at Orillia Soldiers’ Memorial Hospital. The community raised over $165,000 this year!

Thank you so much for the support last week with our OSPCA Cupcake day fundraiser. We raised just over $200 to help animals in need. Big thanks to our bakers too!

This year we chose to sponsor a family with Big Brothers/Big Sisters Orillia and two seniors from the Santa for Seniors program.

Dr. Sally and Sheri (ODVS manager) attended the Orillia SPCA Whiskers ‘N Wags Gala and we donated some auction items to help the cause as well!
This annual Gala and silent auction helps support the Orillia SPCA. It was another successful event raising money to help the animals in need.

Our silent auction in support of the Farley Foundation was a huge success! We raised over $9200.00! We would like to thank everyone in our community that participated and donated such wonderful items to be auctioned off.
