Adoption Update: Nutmeg (Now Selina)

"We renamed Nutmeg to Selina, she's doing great!

She's a lovable, playful, curious gal. She loves sleeping in her cat tree but also loves the box it came in. Selina carries her toys around the house to find you and play, it's adorable. She loved the Christmas tree and she knew she was the best gift under it."

While some of our staff took breaks this holiday season, Snowy was on the job as our shelter manager making sure all the daily tasks got done.

His personal favourite? Dishes! 😸

Adoption Update: Bronzie (Now Mimir)

"Bronzie (now Mimir) spent his first Christmas at home playing with his brother and snuggling on the couch with all his new toys. He has completed our little family and it’s so fun to watch him and his brother learn to play with each other. We’re so grateful he came home with us and we can’t wait to watch his personality develop more and more!"

Adoption Update: Amelia & Abigail (Now Pickles & Ella)

"These little girls were so shy and afraid when we first brought them home but now they're the most cuddliest and playful little angels. They are so loved and the perfect additions to our family!"

In 2025, our Pet Food Pantry saw a continued increase in demand.

Thanks to the generosity of our donors, local pet stores, and support from Humane Canada's National Pet Food Bank with a $4,000 grant - we were able to fill bowls for over 1,600 pets in our local communities.

We look forward to helping continue to keep pets in their loving homes and providing this vital program in 2026.🐾
