Happy Tails! We love hearing from our adopters! Sounds like Rocka found the perfect family for her!... This sweet girl came from a heartbreaking background and took my husband and son a quite awhile to gain her trust. We decided we wanted to give her a chance and feel what being loved was like. When we brought her home it was rough. Many times we thought we would have to bring her back but after a few months she grew to trust us more. The first time she had a belly rub on our bed the grunts and groans of happiness brought tears to my eyes. Rocka has come a long way from where she started from, she loves the outdoors and 1am walks with my hubby, she knows how to sit, give paw, sit pretty and lay down, she comes up on the bed for cuddles but sleeps on the floor beside the bed. She loves going to the park and playing with her dog friends when they are out, still weary of new people but is getting better. Thank you for allowing us to bring this big suck home and for allowing us to give her a chance of being loved. - Huber Family Do you have an update and photos you’d like to share?

Happy Tails! ‘Hello, sending you a picture of Pumpkin (formerly Rinaldo) that my husband Marc L. and I adopted from your humane society in early October. He is doing very well and keeping our older dog active, playing hide and seek. I will bring some donation items from your list when I drop him off on Sunday afternoon for his neutering on Monday.

Happy Tails! We are thrilled to hear that Dixie found her perfect forever family! What a lucky girl Happy New Year to everyone at the Humane Society of Kawartha Lakes!... Our family had the pleasure of adopting the sweetest, friendliest most fun pup, Dixie (formerly Maggie), on December 18, 2020. She was super high energy at the shelter so we weren’t sure how things would go at home. From the moment we brought her into our family, she has settled beautifully. 2.5 weeks later she still loves to chase and tease her new furry brother, Pawley, but the cat keeps coming back for more! Dixie LOVES walks in the snow and has made friends with a couple of other dogs she sees regularly. She is super smart and seems to already know many common commands. Training has been fun and easy! We absolutely adore our new girl, and already we couldn’t imagine our home without her in it! Thank you! -Sara, Rob and Nolan M. We love getting updates from our adopters!

Available for Adoption! Dyna: Dyna came to the shelter after her owners moved away and could not take her. Dyna has been so scared and depressed since then. This was her second home that gave her up, so she has not had a true home to call hers in her long life. Dyna needs a home willing to give her some extra love and care as she does need a diet. Due to this she cannot reach her backend to clean her back, so we did have to tidy that up with a shave, but daily upkeep with so...me brushing will be exactly what she needs. Dyna is described by her previous owners as affectionate, playful, shy to visitors, talkative. She does not seems to like other cats and would best in a quiet home away from children. If you are interested in giving this sweet girl her forever home please call the shelter to set up a appointment 705 878 4618 ext 0 (No emails) she is fixed, microchipped, and vaccinated. Her adoption fee is $200 See more

Ginger has been at the shelter since June, JUNE that right 4 months!! Ginger can have a bit of an attitude in his cage but once your holding him or hes roaming around hes great. Ginger is 5.5 years old and hes neutered. Ginger does love when he gets to know people and will take a bit of time to warm up to them. He is looking for an experienced bunny owner with no small kids, as he does like to nip sometimes.

Happy Tails!! Ti-Noir" (now named Felix) is very quickly warming up to our family and loving the cuddles. He's happily purring away. Felix was one of our kitties that came from the kill shelters in Quebec, he does suffer from a neurological disorder that causes him to be unsteady on his feet and have a head tilt and tremor. This lovely family came in and quickly fell in love. Within only a couple days he went from his life being at risk, to being saved and brought to our s...helter, then into a loving home. Its situation like this that remind us why we do what we do and why we love our jobs!! Thank you so much for adopting and giving Felix and new chance on life!!!

Oh its the most wonderful time of year!! FALL!! For all you pumpkin lovers that means, pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin pie, pumpkin muffins and even pumpkin scented soaps!! But did you know Pumpkin is also good for our pets!! and they think its a treat (SHH!!)... Pumpkin is Nutrient Rich, Promotes eye health, Boost immune health, moisturizes skin and coat, aids in weight loss, encourages digestive regularity, hydrates and it taste great!! We use a lot of pumpkin here at the shelter, not only as a treat but also when the dogs have upset stomachs from food changes. If you are out and about and decide to grab yourself a can of pure pumpkin, think about grabbing some for your furry friends here at the shelter. They will love it and we will appreciate the donation!!

Sweet Copper came in as a stray in July and was then adopted in August. It looks like he is settling in quite well. Thank you adopting our beautiful senior boy!!!

Not alot of people get to see the behind the scenes medical part of the Humane Society. When our animals go up for adoption they are healthy and look wonderful. That is not always the case when they come in. We thought we would share with you Rudy. Rudy was a very sweet young kitten when he came in with a severe eye infection, if left any longer there was a risk of not being able to save his eyes. He was able to get vet care then went home with one of our wonderful fosters, where he was nursed back to health. He is now absolutly stunning and living his best life with his new family. We are very thankful for our vets, our team, our fosters, our volunteers, and the public for their generous support.

UPDATE- THESE BOYS HAVE BEEN ADOPTED!!!! Joey and JC can not believe that their post has been up for almost two weeks. 15,000 people have seen it, 29 have commented, Yet they are still at the shelter waiting for their forever home. Rats make wonderful pets, they are very affectionate and clean animals. These two boys love nothing more then to snuggle up together, but are more then happy to come out to see their human friends, especially if veggies are involved!! If you think you would like to meet them and learn more about caring for a rat, please stop by the shelter to see them and talk to one of our staff!

We are having our final bottle drive of the year!!. We can not begin to thank the public enough for their ongoing support this summer. Without our usual fundraisers we were a bit concerned. But you guys stepped up, got to drinking and brought us your empties!! So lets do it one more time! Your liver and doctor may not thank you, but we will!!

Adoption Alert!! Sweet Pablo, now named Spirit has gone to his forever home. This sweet guy was brought in after he was no longer needed as a guard dog for a business that was shut down. He is the sweetest man, who loved everyone. We wish him all the best and are very happy he found a wonderful home. Thank you for adopting!!

Five very sweet cats have just arrived from Quebec. Three of these cats were from a kill shelter and two from a home where they could no longer stay. Thanks to One Last Chance rescue and Freedom Drivers for bringing them to us, so we can give them a second chance at life. Please stay tuned for more details, tomorrow they will be checked and given the care they need and as their ready they will go up for adoption!!.
