Kitchener Waterloo Humane Society

Kitchener Waterloo Humane Society The Humane Society of Kitchener Waterloo & Stratford Perth has been serving the community since 1927. The humane society is self-funded and self-governed.

In 2012, the Kitchener Waterloo Humane Society and the Stratford SPCA combined under one organization and board of directors to create KWSPHS. The Kitchener Waterloo Humane Society and Stratford Perth Humane Society have long standing histories of serving people and pets in their communities. In 2012, the two organizations joined to become one of Ontario's largest animal welfare charities. Today,

they are known as The Humane Society of Kitchener Waterloo and Stratford Perth, which operate animal centres in Kitchener and Stratford. Together, they service the areas of Kitchener, Waterloo, Wilmot, Woolwich, Wellesley, Stratford and Perth County. The humane society also helps animals outside of these areas, as time and resources allow. Outside of contracts for animal services, they receive no government funding. Instead, they rely on the generosity of donors to help animals within their communities and to provide animal welfare focused education and outreach. MISSION
We are leaders in animal welfare in our communities, focusing on the responsible treatment of animals through education, compliance, advocacy and care. VISION
Communities that value and respect animals. VALUES

Even on a mild day, the temperature inside a parked car can rise dangerously fast ☀️ Even in the shade, even with windows cracked. Dogs can’t cool themselves like humans do, which means heat exhaustion and heatstroke can happen in minutes. 🐾

⚠️ Watch for signs like:
Excessive panting
Dark red gums
Lethargy or weakness
Collapse or unresponsiveness

If you see a pet alone in a hot vehicle and are concerned for their welfare, contact local police right away or Provincial Animal Welfare Services (PAWS) at 1-833-9ANIMAL.

🐾 Happy Tails: Todd

Todd has settled beautifully into his forever home and is already thriving in his many important household roles: full-time bed thief, daytime work supervisor, master of the yellow chair, and professional window napper 💤

He’s also beginning introductions with his new little brother Louie (formerly Tango, also adopted from us!), and so far the two have been nothing but curious, playful, and excited to meet each other through the door 🏡

We’re so happy Todd is settling in with a family who already adores their precious prince 💙

🐾 Happy Tails: Astraea (formerly Mini Kitty)

Astraea has officially settled into her forever home alongside her feline siblings Eros and Demeter (Demi) 🏡 She is doing incredibly well across the board. She’s eating and drinking consistently, using her litter box reliably, and showing lots of confidence as she explores her new space.

Her energy levels are very high, with plenty of zoomies and playful bursts throughout the day, balanced out by strong cuddle skills and a clear love for lap time and affection 🧶 Her family is carefully supporting her introductions with scent swapping and shared spaces, and she’s adjusting beautifully to life with her new siblings.

We’re so happy Astraea has found such a loving home and is already thriving 💙

Meet Lilli 🌻

At 2 years old, Lilli is a sweetheart 🐾 She can be a little shy when meeting new people, preferring to take her time and ease into new friendships at her own pace.

But once she feels safe, the real Lilli shines through with playful zoomies, joyful bursts of energy, and then the sweetest dramatic flops right beside you when it’s time to relax ☀️ If you’re looking for a loyal companion with heart and a whole lot of sweetness, Lilli might just be your perfect match

Just a friendly reminder, if an animal is no longer listed on our website, they have either been adopted or have a meet & greet booked.
