Adoption Services

We adopted Frank (Travis) on April 2, 2026. We applied immediately the second we saw him online. He's settling in quite well, he's such a good boy. He has his first camping trip under his belt and has many more adventures waiting for him!

Hello! Lowey has been with us for two weeks now and has already become such an important part of our family. After a couple days of getting used to his new space and people, as well as our routine, his shyness melted away and his personality has really shown itself. He loves to follow us around while we make dinner together in the evening and join us on the couch while we eat. If he’s not cuddling or playing with us, we can find him either curled up on a clothing rack in the closet or burrowed under the blankets on the bed. He’s been doing great with eating and litter since his first day here, and he’s scheduled to meet his new vet next month. We’re so happy and it really feels like he was exactly what we were missing. Thank you for helping us and Lowey find each other :) Grace and Nicholas

Good afternoon everyone at the HBSPCA. Just wanted to give you an update on Snap, Crackle and Pop. They have settled in very well here at the Funeral Home. They love their bath time...Snap likes his open air bath...Crackle loves the closed in approach. They have brought us so much joy since the loss of our office pet Charlie. A small funeral was held for him today followed by his burial in our memorial garden. I am attaching a photo video for your enjoyment. We will keep you updated. Thank you again for allowing us to adopt these beautiful birds.

Good morning, We just wanted to update you about Coco(Marigold) & Ginger(Sunny). They are doing fantastic 😊 We can’t believe how they have settled in already feeling very comfortable and at home. They have completely bonded with me already, following me everywhere, trusting me giving lots of affection, big welcome’s when I get home from running errands. My husband says Coco whimpers when I leave. We are working on walking on leash with Coco, everyday she gets better and better with responding to constant positive reinforcement and treats. Yesterday we went on the longest walk down by the Bayfront and she did so well, with minimal tugging! We are keeping the same walk for the first week to get her familiar and keep things consistent. We walk them separately at different times, as they have different needs. They are both fine with it. Coco will bark in the window at first and knows she is coming back. Ginger walks great, lots of sniffing and curiosity. We have already seen a good change in her strength, she’s putting on weight slowly, she does our stairs no problem, walking is not an issue, she jumps up on couch no problem. We have dog stairs for both couches she uses,as we do not want her jumping down. She is also starting to play with the toys I have lying around for them! They are both eating very well. I have to sit on the floor while they eat. We are working on that😊 They are getting better already, knowing they each have plenty of food. We are also doing some work with positive reinforcement and treats for accidents in the house. They get a treat every time they go outside, including on walks when they go. Accidents are to be expected for the first bit. They are happy, energetic girls that we have already fallen in love with. They are adjusting so well and just bring pure joy to our home

It has been such an incredible experience to watch Canary growing into a confident girl since we adopted her. She was so shy when we first adopted her, but today she’s our favourite travel buddy. We took things super slow to help her adapt by starting with quiet time in the backyard, moving up to short car rides, and using tons of treats to reward her whenever she braved a new sound or sight. We’re so excited for all the road trips and new places we’re going to explore next with our little co-pilot.

Hi there! Just wanted to send some pictures. Lily (formerly Indy) enjoys ball time, snack time and nap time in our king size bed. We also taught her how to high five! We love our doodle ❤️

Hello! My daughter and I wanted to send a thank you note for trusting us to adopt 'Shenanigans' about 3 weeks ago. Now re-named 'Tulip', she is an absolute joy to have in the house. Tulip is playful, affectionate and follows us from room to room at a gallop. She has decided that our dog, Clover, is perfect to hide from and pounce out at, a game that Clover is happy to play every day. Tulip's favourite toy is a small, plastic ball with a bell inside, which is very loud when rolling around the ceramic and hardwood floors, but we don't mind since she is so cute when she is chasing and wrestling it (and trying to carry it up the stairs in her mouth). Tulip has fit into our family almost effortlessly, and we are so thankful that you gave us the opportunity to bring her home! Thanks again, Stacey, Eleanor, Clover and Tulip Turcotte

Hello, I just wanted to share that yesterday was Waylon's (aka Forte) 1 year Happy Gotcha Day! He is such a sweet loving little potcake! He loves playfully beating up his big brother and stealing anything he can from him, lol! Waylon is having the time of his life. Happy Gotcha Day!!

Hi, we adopted Lord Henry, who is now known as Lord Ozzy, we let him keep his title. I just wanted to let you know he's settling in remarkably well, already finding places he likes to sleep. He's already remarkably friendly and relaxed, he spent about an hour scouting out his new area before starting to settle in, and has grown more comfortable and confident ever since. He's been an absolute pleasure. Adam B.
