Steven


Steven

Steven ended up a shelter in Quebec but we were not told the reason why he was there. The shelter was packed full, and we were happy to take Steven in when asked. Steven made his way to Ontario by way of One Last Chance, and Freedom Drivers volunteers, and we’re very thankful for all the wonderful people who donate their time to transport rescued animals all across the country. Steven is a very friendly and active rat so far. He gets very excited about food, and is enjoying all the snacks his foster home has been offering. Steven has…   read more >>

Suki


Suki

Sapphire and Suki were surrendered to a shelter in Quebec because their owners had “too many animals.” The shelter was packed full, and we were happy to take these two cute rats in when asked. Sapphire and Suki made their way to Ontario by way of One Last Chance, and Freedom Drivers volunteers, and we’re very thankful for all the wonderful people who donate their time to transport rescued animals all across the country. These girls are quite nervous in their foster home so far, but we’re hoping they’ll start to come around when they are more comfortable in their…   read more >>

Louie


Louie

Louie was brought to Hamilton Animal Services as a stray. He spent an extended time at the shelter, but no owner came forward to claim him. Poor Louie’s teeth are really bad. His mouth must be hurting him quite a lot. He came into the shelter with a scrape on his nose, but it’s not known what caused it. Louie was extremely depressed at the shelter. He didn’t want to leave the bed in his kennel, and was reluctant to interact with the staff. When he did, all he wanted was to be in their laps. He is very sweet,…   read more >>

Seraphina


* Seraphina has been adopted to a wonderful person! Woot! * Seraphina’s owner surrendered her to a Quebec shelter because their hamster had an accidental litter, and because Seraphina has malocclusion, meaning her teeth are not exactly aligned properly. The shelter reached out for help via One Last Chance rescue placement, and we were more than happy to take this little girl in. Big thank you to Freedom Drivers volunteers for getting Seraphina to us safely all the way from Quebec on Christmas Eve. In her foster home, Seraphina is housed in a 75 gallon tank with lots of different…   read more >>

Brillo


Brillo

* Brillo found his forever home with lovely people! Woot! * * December 21st, 2023 * Shortly after her arrival, Gwen gave birth. We had no idea she was pregnant, but she had four babies during the night. Quite a surprise for her foster mom to wake up to. Unfortunately, one baby didn’t make it, but the other three are doing well so far. Gwen is a VERY protective mom, and she’s telling off everyone who comes near her babies. Understandable, after everything she has been through. She just wants to keep her babies safe. If they stay healthy as…   read more >>

Doreen


Doreen

* Doris and Doreen have been adopted by wonderful people! Yippee! * We rescued Doris and Doreen from a shelter in Quebec. We weren’t told the circumstances of how they ended up at the shelter. Big thank you to Freedom Drivers organizers and volunteers for getting these cute girls to us safely. Doris and Doreen are lively little degus. They’re curious and friendly, but they’re still getting used to being handled. When she arrived, Doreen had an issue with her eyelids, but eye drops helped to clear it up. The vet gave Doris and Doreen a clean bill of health,…   read more >>

Marceline


Marceline

* Marceline has been adopted by wonderful people, and she’ll have other cats to be friends with. Yay! * Marceline ended up at Burlington Animal Services with her siblings as a stray litter. All of her siblings were adopted, but the shelter noted that Marceline had a minor issue with her bum. It was very red and swollen. Because municipal shelters are limited in how much vet care they can provide, the shelter reached out to us for help. We were happy to get Marceline out of the shelter, and she went straight to the vet to get checked out….   read more >>

Raspberry


Raspberry

Raspberry’s owners went to Hamilton Animal Services to surrender their “hamster” because they no longer wanted her. Paperwork was filled out, and when shelter staff opened the box Raspberry arrived in, they were certainly taken aback to find not a hamster, but a guinea pig inside. A very frightened guinea pig with extremely overgrown nails. With a world of information at our fingertips, it’s tough to imagine that a person wouldn’t realize that they had a pet guinea pig – not a hamster. We can only hope that Raspberry wasn’t fed hamster food her whole life, seeing as guinea pigs…   read more >>

Hayward


Hayward

Hawk and Hayward were surrendered to Hamilton Animal Services when their owners no longer wanted them. Hawk and Hayward’s owners had purchased them from a pet store six months before surrendering them. We were happy to take in Hawk and Hayward, and they’re now settling in at their foster home. These boys are shy, but sweet. They definitely know when the treats are coming! They wheek and follow their foster mom everywhere to see what veggies are coming their way. So cute. Hawk and Hayward were given a clean bill of health at the vet, and now they’re available for…   read more >>

Ella


Ella

* Duke and Ella have been adopted by their foster family! Yay! * Duke and Ella were brought into Hamilton Animal Services as strays and they were not claimed. These two were showing serious signs of neglect. Their fur was matted and dirty, their teeth are horrendous, and Ella has a large, pendulous mammary tumour that almost touches the floor when she walks. Duke is not neutered, and it’s not likely that Ella is spayed. It’s possible they were used for breeding and were discarded when they got too old to produce puppies, but we will never know… Duke and…   read more >>

Harbour


Harbour

Harbour was found in a field in Ancaster and brought to Hamilton Animal Services. She was extremely thin, infested with fleas, and wasn’t putting weight on her back leg. Shelter staff treated Harbour for the fleas, and sent her to the vet for xrays. No fractures or any other reason for her lameness was seen on the xrays, so Harbour was sent back to the shelter to wait out her stray time. Poor Harbour didn’t want to eat, and her gums were very pale. Over the week she was at the shelter, her health went downhill. Being a municipal shelter,…   read more >>

Puddin’


Puddin'

Plum and Puddin’ were abandoned outdoors in a small box. Thankfully someone found them and brought them to Hamilton Animal Services. We will never understand how someone can think that dumping pets in this way is okay. Dumping a pet is the cruel and cowardly way out. There are always alternatives to this, and there are many resources available. Abandoning a pet is never the answer. That said, Plum and Puddin’ have gone from what will be the worst days of their lives, to the absolute best. We are very lucky to have an amazing foster mom step up to…   read more >>

Jason


Jason

* We are shocked and saddened to report that Travis and Jason have both passed away. Everything went normally with their neuters, and both surgeries were routine and uneventful. But the next morning, Jason was struggling. He was rushed to the vet, but was sadly beyond help. As a precaution, Travis had an exam at the vet. He was behaving normally, so he was sent back to his foster home. Travis was doing well over the next few hours – active and eating, but the next morning, his foster family awakened to find he had passed away during the night….   read more >>
