Explore help before giving up a pet
Toronto Humane Society’s Pet Parent Support Network works with owners facing financial pressure, housing difficulties or behavioural concerns. A surrender enquiry starts with a discussion of alternatives that might keep the animal with its family. Support can include food and supplies, behaviour guidance and referrals tailored to the household’s circumstances.
When another home is the right option
If keeping the animal is no longer appropriate, the team helps owners understand rehoming options. Its partnership with Home To Home offers a route for people to find another family directly, without first placing the animal in a shelter. The support network accepts requests through its form and is not an emergency service.
Applying to adopt from the shelter or foster care
Check the animal’s profile to see where it is staying. Applications normally begin in person at 11 River Street, followed by an adoption conversation; contact the team if an accommodation is needed. Meetings are in person for shelter animals and virtual for foster animals. Expect identification and address checks, household participation and coordinated introductions when another dog lives at home.
Preventive veterinary care at two locations
Wellness appointments are offered at 11 River Street and 632 Queen Street East, with the location shown during booking. Services include vaccination, parasite prevention and microchipping. A two-tier fee structure offers reduced prices to eligible clients under published documentation criteria. The wider public veterinary programme also includes spay-neuter and dental services, with their own arrangements.
Use the service that fits the need
The public veterinary service does not treat sick or injured owned pets and is not an emergency clinic. Read the wellness service details and the support-network information before applying. Support replies can take up to a week. The AnimalProtech map helps locate the organisation; urgent medical needs require an appropriate veterinary clinic.
