Pino and eight other hamsters (a mom and seven babies) were surrendered to Hamilton Animal Services by their owner because they had “too many.”

Pino was available for adoption for quite some time with no interest at all. Due to Pino’s recurring health issues, we made him a Ladybird permanent resident.  After being in our care for many months, and going through many medical challenges, we had to say goodbye to Pino when his health took a turn for the worse and there was nothing medical intervention could do. Thank you Cathryn and staff from Dundas Pet Valu for caring for Pino through thick and thin.

Rest in peace, Pino. We’ll never forget you!
