Adoption Awareness Event

Welcome to Pet Valu Stoney Creek – Heritage Highlands: A Place Where Community and Compassion Come Together

In proud partnership with the Hamilton/Burlington SPCA (HBSPCA)

At the Hamilton/Burlington SPCA, we believe that when compassionate businesses and animal welfare organizations come together, we can make powerful strides for the pets and people in our community. That’s why we’re proud to partner with Pet Valu’s Heritage Highlands location in Stoney Creek—a dedicated local store that not only serves as a trusted destination for pet lovers but also as a supportive ally in our ongoing mission to find every animal a loving home.

Conveniently located at Stone Church Rd E and Upper Red Hill Valley Hwy, near scenic Stoneywood Park and Central Park, Pet Valu’s Heritage Highlands location is more than just a retail stop—it’s a hub for pet lovers in our region. Their wide array of thoughtfully curated pet food, toys, accessories, and wellness products make it easy for pet owners to care for their companions with confidence. Whether you're a new pet parent or a seasoned animal enthusiast, you’ll always find warm, knowledgeable service from a team that genuinely cares.

But what makes this store especially meaningful to us at the HBSPCA is their heartfelt commitment to animal welfare.

More Than a Store—A True Community Partner

Pet Valu has been a long-standing partner and supporter of the HBSPCA, consistently stepping up to help bring attention to shelter animals who are still waiting for their forever families. They recognize that being part of the pet care community means taking action—and they've never hesitated to do just that.

Their staff has welcomed us into their stores to connect with customers, raise awareness, and share the stories of the incredible animals in our care. It’s these moments of connection—seeing people learn about our programs, meeting adoptable animals, asking questions, or even just pausing to take a brochure—that help bridge the gap between shelter and home.

‍

We’re especially excited to join them for an upcoming Adoption Awareness Event, hosted right inside the Heritage Highlands store. This event is a celebration of all things adoption—from spotlighting animals in need, to offering resources for those considering fostering or adopting, to building connections between the public and the HBSPCA team.

Why Adoption Events Matter

Every time we participate in an adoption awareness event like this one, we’re reminded of how vital community spaces are in driving forward our mission. It’s one thing to scroll past a photo online of an animal who needs a home—it’s another to meet them in person, feel their energy, and have a conversation with someone who knows their story.

These events create a space for empathy. They give people the opportunity to see animals as individuals, to ask questions, to learn about responsible pet ownership, and to understand the challenges and joys of welcoming a shelter pet into their lives.

And for the animals? These events offer them a chance to shine. Outside the shelter environment, many animals can truly show their personalities—wagging tails, curious sniffs, gentle purrs—reminding everyone that these are not “just shelter animals.” They are future family members.

‍

A Shared Commitment to Pet Wellness

Beyond adoption, our partnership with Pet Valu has opened the door to other collaborative efforts that benefit the animals in our care. They’ve championed our cause not just because it aligns with their business, but because they care deeply about the lives of animals and the people who love them.

Their staff truly embody what it means to “treat pets like family.” They don’t just sell products—they offer support, guidance, and genuine care. And when they champion the cause of animal adoption, they do it with heart and authenticity.

Join Us and Be Part of the Change

Whether you’re already a passionate pet parent or just beginning to think about adoption, we invite you to visit Pet Valu Heritage Highlands in Stoney Creek—especially during our upcoming adoption event. You’ll have a chance to meet some of our animals, chat with HBSPCA team members, and maybe even find your new best friend.

If you’re not ready to adopt, there are still so many ways to get involved. Learn about fostering, sign up to volunteer, or support the HBSPCA through a purchase or donation. Every small act of kindness adds up to big change for animals in need.

Thank You, Pet Valu

To the entire team at Heritage Highlands: thank you. Your compassion, advocacy, and partnership mean the world to us—and even more to the animals whose lives you help change.

Together, we're not just finding homes—we're building a community that cares. We hope to see you soon at Pet Valu Heritage Highlands—where love and rescue go paw in paw.
