Hamilton Burlington SPCA

Animal shelter in Hamilton, ON

The Hamilton/Burlington SPCA (HBSPCA) is committed to thriving animals, thriving pet families and thriving communities.

Founded in 1887, our mission was animal protection and our focus was working animals. Today, and guided by the human animal bond, the Society strives to keep people and pets together, help carers be the pet parents they want to be and be a voice for sentient beings who have none.

Community programs support animals and their people: pet visits with students living away from home, children and youth with special needs and seniors; affordable spay/ neuter services for families with least access to services; veterinary care for pets belonging to our most vulnerable citizens; ambulatory care for cats to keep them at home; and health checks for at risk pets belonging to hospitalized senior citizens are but some of the ways.

Additional adoption info

Although the shelter at 245 Dartnall Road remains closed to the public, the Hamilton/Burlington SPCA is pleased to re-open its pet adoptions, with a twist. It is our priority to keep members of the public and shelter staff safe during these unprecedented times.

The modified adoption process will be completely no contact to ensure the health and safety of both adopters and staff, while also giving pets the opportunity to find their forever homes.

Adopting a pet is a big decision and it is our goal to help you find a perfect match between you and your new family member.

Have you found a pet that you would like to adopt? Please email hashcroft@hbspca.com; please place the name of the pet you are interested in the subject line of your email to begin the no contact adoption process.
