Nutella
Nutella was brought into Hamilton Animal Control as a stray. Nutella was in very rough shape when he arrived at HAC. He was extremely thin, suffering from eye infections, had a large abscess under his chin and several broken teeth.

Stormy
Stormy came into Hamilton Animal Control as a stray. Stormy has been neutered and declawed (all four paws), so he certainly belonged to someone, but nobody came looking for him at the shelter. Stormy was severely matted and infested with fleas. His skin was red and raw from scratching. He seemed to be experiencing pain in his eyes. He was squinting, and there was an obvious ulcer in one eye. Staff at the shelter started him on eye medication to try to help. Once Stormy’s stray time was done, we were happy to get him out of the shelter and… read more >>

Daisy
* Daisy found her forever home with a lovely person! * Daisy came into Hamilton Animal Control as a stray. From the day she arrived at HAC, Daisy had the runs pretty badly.

They weren’t able to put Daisy on any medications to help because they suspect that she may be pregnant and the medications could be detrimental to the health of her babies. Thankfully, we had… read more >>
Jefferson
* Jefferson and Grace found their forever home with a lovely family! * Jefferson was surrendered to Hamilton Animal Control by his owners because they had “no time” for him.

As well, his nails were overgrown and the fur on his hind end was matted and severely urine stained. Despite his condition, Jefferson was extremely friendly with everyone he met and was always happy for attention and head pats. During the couple of weeks… read more >>
