We are looking to plan our annual Spayghetti and No Balls Dinner.
Before we lock in a date/location and begin planning we need to lock in our volunteers in order to ensure we can manage the event.

We will need:

6 people to assist Cathie in the kitchen.
MUST BE able to lift heavy pots of hot water to drain noodles. They need to stay for service and cleanup.

6 to set up tables before the event, help serve people, and clean up plates, tables etc after the event.

We will also need 2 people to man the Silent Auction table.

Please comment below if you would be able to help, and include in your comment any dates in February or early March that you WOULD NOT be available.

Guess who is back, just visiting this time? Yep, it's Buddie, 11 months old and up to date with everything!

Originally adopted from SimcoeDHumane when he was much younger, Buddie's owner is unable to look after him right now, he had a stroke just before Christmas.

He could use some manner training, as he is loved by his owner just the way he is. Walking on a leash? Well it's hard for him to contain his excitement!

We have had him at the leash free park and he was put in his place for not having manners, jumping and the puppy rest. He was great with the other dogs.

If you have temporary room in your home and would like to look after a rambunctious, loving puppy while dad heals, please contact [email protected] or contact 5194289161 press 1 or 5194282287 and leave a message.

We need your help! Please dont let this boy sit in a kennel for another day!!

Meet Bruno, a 2-year-old Neutered Male. Bruno is NOT in SimcoeDHumane's care, but we have been asked to share his story and see if any of our followers would want to adopt OR foster until adopted.

Words from the shelter he is in:
His name is Bruno! He is the best dog with people that you could ask for and has shown no signs of aggression to people or towards/with food.

He LOVES car rides, toys and walks. He is a big boy that is now neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations.

One Health Issue ~ he tested Heartworm Positive and is receiving slow kill treatment for heartworm disease. The shelter will cover his medications (monthly advantage multi) until heartworm negative.

There is one behaviour issue ~ he can be very reactive to selective dogs. He would best be suited in a home with no other pets, which is making his transfer to another shelter/rescue difficult!

If you are interested, please contact [email protected] or leave your contact information 519-428-2287 and we will forward to the original Shelter.

A few weeks back we put out the call for help moving our seacans to higher ground in preparation of filling in the lower parts of our property. We didn't have high hopes for a quick and easy solution but decided to put it out into the universe anyways. Steve Edge and Joe Smith immediately answered our call for help and on their day off they picked up equipment from their workplace, Keesmaat Construction (who donated the use of their equipment for the task). They rolled up bright and early and moved all our seacans up top for us!!! When they found out we were planning to post a thank you, they requested for us NOT to, because they didn't do it for the recognition; they did it because they're animal lovers and wanted to help. They didn't WANT the attention or the praise. They felt good about what they did for us, and for the animals and for them, that was enough. We went back and forth, and in the end they agreed we could post this video and a THANK YOU, because their act of kindness reminded us of the power of a caring community, and was a moment where we saw that while it does take a village, our village is populated by some amazing people, like Steve and Joe (and Kelly Smith gets a kudos too, she tagged them in our post knowing they could help with what we saw as a massive road block). So while we extend giant thank yous to these guys and their employer for their help, we also wanted to remind YOU that there is so much good in this world and there are AMAZING people in it, and in our community! As they say... there ain't no folk like Norfolk!
