Wildlife Safety Tip: Avian Influenza (AI) is a disease caused by a virus that primarily infects domestic poultry and wild birds such as geese, ducks, and shore birds. Cases have been detected in Ontario and residents can refer to their public health units for more information.

The exact mode of transmission from birds to people is not known, but most human cases of AI have been traced to unprotected contact (no gloves, protective wear, facemasks, respirators or eye protection) with infected poultry or their droppings.

We're reminding members of our communities to not handle any wildlife yourself; call us at (905) 845-1551 (monitored 24/7) and we will dispatch officers to pick up any injured, sick, or deceased wildlife.

Avian Influenza is also transmissible to other mammals, including cats and dogs. To keep your pets safe:

-Ensure that your pets are not exposed to wildlife, especially birds and their droppings.
-Contact your vet if you have questions or concerns about your pet’s health
-Do not allow your cat or dog to eat or play with dead wild birds
-Do not feed your pet any raw meat from poultry, wild or game birds
-Keep cats indoors and dogs on leash to avoid giving them access to potentially infected wild birds or their carcasses, especially during peak migration seasons

If you have questions or concerns about wild birds in the Town of Oakville, please contact us at 905-845-1551.

🌿🦉 Field Call Friday! This little feathered friend needed a helping wing! One of our Animal Protection Officers responded to a call about an Eastern Screech Owl who had been chilling (a little too long) on a homeowner’s patio—for over six hours! Concerned for its well-being, our team swooped in to secure and transport the owl safely. After a check-up from our amazing Registered Veterinary Technician, there were no visible injuries, but to ensure the best care possible, we transferred it to one of our trusted wildlife rehab partners. This rescue is a great reminder: If you see wildlife in distress, don’t wait—reach out! 💙 Huge thanks to the caring community members who gave this owl the chance to spread its wings again!

Have you ever wanted a sentient blanket that will supply you with an endless amount of cuddles and kisses? Say hello to Skye! He's a one-year-old Husky with no concept of personal space and loves nothing more than a good scratch behind his ears or on his butt. He's got the brains and silliness of typical Huskies, but he can be relatively calm! He loves to run, play with squeaky toys, stuffies, balls, and has been enjoying tug lately. Skye already knows commands like sit, down, is great with recall, is housetrained, is experienced with other dogs and dog parks—what more could you ask for??

Unlimited cuddles, kisses, food, and bonding with his new furry/scaly siblings—Yoshi hit the jackpot in this !

"It’s been amazing having Yoshi/Axel as part of our family. When he first came home he was a little shy and liked hiding under the bed but since then he has made great improvements. Everyday he explores a little more of the house. He is still scared of the dogs so he will peek his head out the door but run away once they notice him. As for our cat, she is definitely not too happy (she is used to being the only diva in the house), however they are slowing getting along. Yoshi will try and come up to her, he wants to be friends, she’ll usually growl and give him a grumpy look and he’ll leave all sad. Yoshi doesn’t give up though! he waits a bit and then comes back. I think they’ll be friends soon. Yoshi loves to sit by my geckos tank and get all cozy near the heat lamp but his favourite place of all is my bed.

I knew he was affectionate but i was surprised by how much. He is doesn’t quite understand the concept of personal space (i don’t mind it though). He is always on my lap and never stops purring. He will sleep next to me and rubs his face against my cheek, he’ll sometimes knead my face and best of all he is obsessed with giving kisses. He will put his nose against mine and wait until i make a ‘kissy noise’ to pull away. Another thing that well isn’t so surprising is his passion for food, he’s always trying to eat my food and meows dramatically before his dinner. Just like my other cat he’s quite vocal and trills a lot. He is an absolute sweetheart and everyday i learn more about his personality. He’s been such a good boy and we are so lucky to have him :)"

This adorable kitty has been soaking in the cuddles and fun with his forever family! Oreo is living the best life in his 😻

"Oreo is doing fantastic! The first day Oreo came home he played most of the day and ate his food. When it came to night time he jumped up on the bed I sleep in and that seems to be his place to sleep at night ever since. Often taking my entire pillow, so now he has his own pillow. He sleeps most of the night beside my head, if I do wake up he swats me in the eye, purrs and then rubs his nose and chin all over me. He’s extremely affectionate with me and my parents. Every time he wakes up from a nap or I wake up it’s straight to the cuddles. He has met my siblings and has greeted them all with purrs and cuddles.

Oreo loves play time too! He uses the scratch post and playground I bought him. He loves to sleep in the little hut place during the day. His favourite toy is a ribbon wand. He also loves a ball tower, his tunnel and his little kicker toys. Occasionally I’ll put on a cat app on the iPad and he loves to sit and watch it! Every morning and evening he gets the zoomies and runs around playing and jumping on different things. He loves his wet food and meows like crazy when he knows it’s coming. He’s got 4 different beds but chooses a human bed with me every night. His curiosity is definitely starting to show up! He is well trained! Always uses his litter box properly, and his scratch post. We already are so in love with him."

This adorable mini Tiger is having the best time prowling his forever home for cuddles! Here's Tiger's 🐯

"Tiger and I are doing great. He has settled into our home and family very seamlessly. I honestly could not imagine a more perfect cat. He is so affectionate, he will let us brush and pet him for hours, he will come and find us while we’re sitting talking and sit with us a doze off.

Unexpected behaviours? He is so curious! Watches everything, and always wants to know what we’re eating, haha. Tiger is just so sweet, we are very grateful to have found him and we are very blessed to care for him and have him in the family. He has brought us joy again after the loss of our beloved 13 year old husky/sheppard.

The animals are very lucky to have your team and services, until they find their forever homes. Thanks for everything and all your help with the easy adoption process."

Say hello to Cupcake, a sweet but shy shadow cat searching for her forever home 🐈‍⬛ Cupcake is a quiet kitty who prefers observing her surroundings from a safe spot while she gets comfortable. Once she has some time to adjust to her new surroundings, she will show her sweet side, accepting some gentle pets and any treats you may have.

This kitty is having a blast exploring his forever home and getting tons of love in this

"Senshi has been thriving in his new home. He’s turned out to be quite social and has shown that he did not want to stay in his safe room as soon as the end of his first day here. Senshi is very loving and is good with receiving attention (on his terms). We love him very much and couldn’t have asked for a better boy to join our family.

In terms of our adopting experience, we were very happy with the process and will happily leave a review. Thank you!"

Howard's journey began as a tiny stray when he and his siblings were found outside with their mom. But this little guy was destined for great things! He spent his kitten days being spoiled in a loving foster home, growing into the playful, curious, and utterly adorable cat we all fell in love with.

When he returned to the shelter, it didn't take long for Howard to steal hearts with his sweet nature and irresistible charm. Then along came Jordan and Adam, who instantly knew he was the perfect addition to their family. They swooped in and gave him the forever home he deserved!

Wishing Howard and his new family a lifetime of love and cuddles - congratulations to all!

This holiday season, many animals like Sophie are counting on us for a second chance. Sophie and her pups were rescued from a puppy mill and were in desperate need of medical treatment. Thanks to your compassion, Sophie and her young family received the urgent care they needed, and they are now in loving homes. Happy endings are what OMHS is all about. But vulnerable animals – sick, injured, or simply lost, afraid, and hungry – still arrive every day. We take them in and give them shelter and love. OMHS works tirelessly to reunite lost pets with their families and to rehabilitate and find homes for other stray and surrendered animals. We rely entirely on donations to continue this vital work. Today, we ask for your help once more. With a generous $20,000 matching offer from the Walker Wood Foundation, your donation at omhs.ca/holiday24 will be doubled, providing twice the life-saving care to animals in need. Together, we can give more animals the second chance they deserve. Thank you for being a loyal friend to the animals 💖🐾
