But to adopt a pet it doesn't matter where you live as long as you are willing to travel into our Centres:
Kitchener Waterloo Humane Society in Kitchener
Stratford Perth Humane Society in Stratford

Additional adoption info

Come into the Centre and if you see a pet you like, you are able to do a "Meet and Greet" with that pet. Spend some time in alone with the pet or take a dog out for a short walk. If you are still interested in adopting the pet you can meet with one of our Adoption Counsellors who will have you fill out and application and will ask you some questions about the environment in which you live. If you seem like a wonderful match and your envirnoment meets the needs of the pet then your application should be approved!
