Barbie
* Ken and Barbie found their forever home with lovely people! Woo hoo! * Ken and Barbie were found separately as strays and brought to Hamilton Animal Services. They were both very frightened little kittens, so Animal Services staff introduced them in hopes that they could comfort each other. Their plan worked perfectly, and Ken and Barbie quickly became inseparable. We were happy to get these adorable kittens out of the shelter and into a quiet foster home. Their foster family were prepared to take the time to socialize Ken and Barbie, and help them learn that humans aren’t as… read more >>

Debbie
* Debbie found her forever home with lovely people and another pig to be friends with! Woo hoo! * Debbie came into Hamilton Animal Services as a stray. It’s more likely she was dumped by her owner. Domestic animals don’t have the survival skills that wild animals do. They often starve to death, or are killed by predators when they’re abandoned outdoors. There is always an alternative to dumping, and there are many resources available. Dumping a pet is never the answer. Despite being abandoned, Debbie is a sweet and friendly pig. She’s loving all the space and attention she’s… read more >>
Jacob
* Jacob has been adopted by fantastic people, and he’ll have other pigs to be friends with in his new home. Yay! * Wilhelm and Jacob were brought into Hamilton Animal Services as strays. They spent some time at the shelter and were up for adoption, but when Wilhelm developed a large mass on his neck, the shelter had to remove them from their adoption program. When we were at the shelter picking up other animals, staff there showed us Wilhelm and Jacob. Staff explained that the cost to have Wilhelm’s mass treated was beyond their financial constraints as a… read more >>
Dew
* Sprite, Fanta and Dew have been adopted together by a wonderful person! Woot! * Sprite, Fanta, and Dew came into Hamilton Animal Services as strays. The were without their mother, and too young to be away from her. They were not yet fully eating on their own, and they were suffering from an upper respiratory infection. We were happy to get these sweet kittens out of the shelter when a foster home stepped up. We got them to the vet on their rescue day, and they were started on medication and special food. They’re now settling in at their… read more >>

These sweet boys spent a number of months at the shelter before we had a foster home open up who welcomed them with open arms. Knuckles and Knox had a vet visit on their rescue day, and they were given a clean bill of health. They’re now ready to find their forever home! IS A RAT THE RIGHT PET FOR YOU?

Ernie
* Bert and Ernie found their forever home together with amazing people! Woo hoo! * Someone put Bert and Ernie in a box and abandoned them at the end of a residential driveway in Hamilton. Hamilton Animal Services was called and they took the rats to the shelter. No owner came forward to claim them, and HAS reached out to us for help.

Mango
* Mango found her forever home with a wonderful person and another guinea pig to be friends with! Yay! * Someone dumped Mango in a park in Hamilton. Thankfully, a kind citizen found her and brought her to Hamilton Animal Services. Please, please, please, if you don’t want a pet anymore, don’t release it outdoors. Mango was one of 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.

Wilhelm
We’re so sad. Our sweet Wilhelm passed away. He was doing really well the days after his dental surgery, and we were excited for him to recover and finally be able to eat without trouble and pain. But he then became quiet and didn’t want to eat. Despite medication, supplemental feeding, and advice from our vets, Wilhelm went downhill quickly, and he passed away during the night. We are devastated. An autopsy showed that Wilhelm’s stomach had twisted, which is an unfortunate condition that guinea pigs can suffer from without warning. Our hearts go out to Wilhelm’s foster family, and… read more >>
Michele
* Romy and Michele found their forever home with lovely people! Woo hoo! * Romy and Michele were found as strays and brought to Hamilton Animal Services. These poor kittens were covered in lice, they were infested with fleas and their ears were full of earmites. To top it off, they both had an upper respiratory infection and were sneezing their little heads off. Shelter staff got them cleaned up and started on medications to treat each ailment. Romy and Michele’s health greatly improved during their stay at the shelter. When a foster home opened up, we were happy to… read more >>

Ivy
* Poppy and Ivy found their forever home together with wonderful people! Woot! * Burger, Cleo, Ivy and Poppy were brought into Hamilton Animal Services as strays. They were quite sick when they arrived, and had severe diarrhea. The shelter reached out to us for help, and we were able to pick these wee ones up and get them straight to the vet for treatment. Medication and special food were prescribed, and thankfully a foster home stepped up to take in the little litter. Fostering poopy kittens is a lot of work, and we’re so grateful for our foster families… read more >>

Sorbet
* Sorbet found her forever home with a lovely person! Yay! * Sorbet was found as a stray and brought to Hamilton Animal Services. She spent a few months at the shelter, but nobody came forward to claim her and nobody wanted to adopt her because of her shy nature. A noisy shelter environment is no place for a kitty who is having a hard time trusting people. She was friendly with the shelter staff she was familiar with, and she’d come to them for head scritches and pats. HAS reached out to us for help and we were happy… read more >>
Mrs. Lop
* Mrs. Lop found her forever home with awesome people! Yippee! * Mrs. Lop was found as a stray and brought to Hamilton Animal Services. When she arrived, she was very thin, was missing a lot of fur on her underside, and had other issues with her skin. We got Mrs. Lop to the vet and she stayed there for a few days to start her recovery. She was given a flea/tick/mite treatment, which seems to have taken care of some of the skin issues. Though we’ll never know for sure, it’s possible Mrs. Lop’s advanced fur loss was caused… read more >>
