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 >>

Alabaster

UPDATE: We’ve received many applications to adopt Alabaster and are currently processing them. Thank you for your patience. Alabaster was surrendered to Hamilton Animal Services when his owner no longer wanted him. We were happy to spring this sweet bunny out of the shelter when a foster home opened up. He was neutered on his rescue day and he recovered perfectly from the surgery. Alabaster is now ready to find his forever home! This rabbit is something special. He’s very, very friendly and calm. A real snuggle bunny! Here’s a report from his foster family: “Alabaster is a one of…   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 >>

Gwen


Gwen

Humane Society of Durham Region reached out to us for help when they received a hedgehog that had been abandoned by her owner. We were happy to take this prickly little girl in. She’ll have a vet visit soon, and we’ll have more info once she has settled into her foster home. We were sure to tell Gwen that she is safe, and will never be abandoned again. Welcome to Ladybird, Gwen! We’re so happy you’re here! * UPDATE December 22nd, 2023 * This was unexpected! Gwen gave birth last night! We had no idea she was pregnant, but she…   read more >>

Dalton


Dalton

At the end of August, someone dumped an entire family of domestic rabbits onto a trail in Hamilton. Hamilton Animal Services was called and the rabbits brought into the shelter. These rabbits are among the lucky ones who survived being abandoned, but not all animals are so lucky. Domestic animals don’t have the survival skills that wild animals do. They often starve to death, or are killed by predators. There is always an alternative to dumping, and there are many resources available. Dumping a pet is never the answer. Please stop doing this. Fast forward to late October – the…   read more >>

Cauliflower


Cauliflower

Calla ended up at Hamilton Animal Services as a stray, but nobody came forward to claim her. She spent a few months at the shelter, and during that time she was spayed and vaccinated. When a spot opened up, were were happy to get Calla out of the small cage she was in at the shelter, and into a foster home where she has a lot more room to run and explore. She’s loving all the freedom she has now, and she’s lapping up the attention she’s getting from her foster mom. A month after we rescued Calla, we rescued…   read more >>

Vindaloo


Vindaloo

India and Taja were rescued from a shelter in Quebec. They, along with many other guinea pigs, were surrendered to the shelter by their owner because they had too many animals. India and Taja are Mama Tot‘s older daughters. This guinea pig family came to us via 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. When they arrived, India and Taja were only about four months old, but it was confirmed at their vet visit that they were both pregnant….   read more >>

Buddy

Buddy came into Hamilton Animal Services with another rabbit. Technically they were strays, but it’s more likely they were dumped. Unfortunately, Buddy and the other rabbit (Tyson) got into a squabble that ended with Tyson being injured, so the shelter separated them. When a foster home opened up, we were happy to get Buddy out of the small cage he was in at the shelter, and into a loving foster home where he has much more space. Buddy is doing well in his foster home, and he’s soaking up all the love, attention and tasty snacks his foster family are…   read more >>

Louise


Louise

Thelma and Louise were left behind in an apartment when their owner moved out. They were beyond frightened when they were brought to Hamilton Animal Services and it took quite a while for them to learn to trust the staff there. The shelter had Thelma and Louise spayed, and after a few months, we were finally able to rescue this bunny pair and place them into a loving foster home. These two adorable girls were given a clean bill of health at their vet visit, and now they’re ready to find their forever home! We’re asking they be adopted as…   read more >>
