Additional adoption info

1. View our Adoptable Animals
Animals are placed on https://www.hsgn.ca/adopt as soon as they are ready for adoption. New animals are added daily, so please keep checking if you do not see one who fits your family right away.

2. Submit an Adoption Request
To give our animals the best possible chance of finding a suitable home quickly, we accept multiple requests for each animal.

3. Phone Consultation
HSGN staff will review the information you submit, then call within two business days to go through the animal’s medical and behaviour history and their lifestyle needs.

If we are unable to reach you when we call for your phone consultation, we can only hold the animal for 24 hours after leaving a message. It is in the best interest of the animal to place it into a suitable home as soon as we can, so we cannot hold animals for any longer. If we do not hear back from you within that time, your adoption request will be cancelled.

4. Meet and Greet
After reviewing the pet’s history, we will schedule a meet-and-greet appointment for your family and potential new pet. Depending on the public health restrictions at the time, your appointment may take place virtually or at the shelter.

If all goes well, we will proceed steps 5 and 6 the same day, so be prepared to take your new pet home!

5. Finalizing Your Adoption
Now that you’ve decided on your new pet, we’ll review what is included with your adoption and answer any remaining questions you have. You will then sign our adoption commitment form and pay your adoption fee.

6. Take Home Your New Pet!
It’s official! Your life with your new family member has begun. If you need more time to get your home ready, please speak with our team.
