More about this shelter
The Simcoe & District Humane Society has been hard at work aiding animals in distress since the 1950's and officially chartered in January 1953.
The Foster Care Program has always been an integral part of the Society, as it has not had a physical shelter to call its own.
2004 was a great stepping-stone in the endeavor of housing our animals, as the Society purchased the property at 24 Grigg Drive, Simcoe, Ontario. As the number of stray, sick and injured animals has grown, so has the community support and the Society now has a goal to build a shelter in the near future.
SDHS relies on donations from the community, and assists as many animals possible within their means.
In 2004, the Society assisted 599 animals.
2005 the Society assisted 580 animals.
2006, we assisted 784 animals
2007 was a pivotal year, some animals remain in care, still needing treatment or waiting adoption.
As of September 2007 helped over 650 cats, 70 dogs, and other animals, Helped Cruelty, over 35 animals, and well over 250 cruelty complaints visited.
Simcoe and District Humane Society is also aiding animals unclaimed through Norfolk County Animal Control. As space in the foster care program allows, SDHS provides adoptable animals the necessary medical care, including FIV (Feline Aids) and Feline Leukemia testing for felines, Heartworm testing for canines, vaccinations, deworming, flea and other parasite treatment and microchipping for each animal. It is the Society's goal to find every adoptable animal a home to call its own!
In 2007, the Society has temporarily assisted and housed more than 35 animals, until owners have been able to provide appropriately for their pet(s).
Public Awareness and Good Pet Ownership Education has been a key component in the Society's community involvement over the last 3 years.
The community's consistent support and regular donations are important to sustain the Society's ability to continue its constant and daily intake and care of those animals needing help - Many thanks to our donors.
