From Foster Fail to Community Ambassador: Larry’s Journey

When Larry was born, no one could have predicted the role he would grow into. Today, he is the ambassador of the Hamilton/Burlington SPCA Pet Visiting Program - but his journey started as one very tiny puppy who needed a little extra help.

Here For Our Community

Here’s What They’re Saying

We adopted Cello yesterday and her first night was hard. She was so scared of us but I’m glad to report that after only one night she has already learned to trust us and adapt to a new environment.

Thanks to SPCA for helping us find our newest family member 🥹

They are a Wonderful Team . I did end of care for my 2 beloved dogs and they are so supportive. It made my process easier to deal with because of there extreme compassion. They also run a pet store with so many products for cats , dogs and small animals.

Stop in and support them because without them our community would not survive. Thank you again and Big Thank You to Orient ❤️

A big thank you to Hamilton SPCA and Natalie, Manager of the Pet Visiting Program. From our very first inquiry, they were incredibly responsive and thoughtful in helping us arrange the perfect visit for our Co-operative Preschool.Volunteer Susan was warm, informative, and so engaging with the children, and Sir Phil was an absolute hit—we all fell in love!We’re so grateful for this meaningful community service and the special bonding experience it created for our friends. 🐾

I came to put my 26 year old (in July) 😪 cat (Smokey) to rest. She was suffering and she had arthritis as well. The staff were compassionate and wonderful. Thank you.

We celebrated my daughter's 8th birthday here with their birthday party program and couldn't be happier! The HBSPCA staffer Ruby was phenomenal. She was organized, fantastic with the kids and adults alike. We loved the shelter tour with the scavenger hunt. We loved meeting the animals. She was also flexible and had anything we could possibly need. The best part was as we were taking home two of my daughter's friends, they both said how they would love to have THEIR birthday parties at the HBSPCA! That's a high recommendation from a kid. Well done!
