Simcoe and District Humane Society

Adopting a Pet is now Virtual

Foster-to-Adopt

As we follow all government and Shelter Care Guidelines we will be Adopting "Virtually" (maybe our new normal)

From this page or www.petango.com/SimcoeDHumane you will:

1. "click" on the pet that you are interested in.
2. You will start the Adoption Process by clicking the link
3. Please follow up with an email to adoptions@s-dhs.ca and let us know you have sent in your application, also let us know the animal you are interested in
4. A volunteer will be in touch to go through the Foster-To-Adopt program, discuss your home and family setting and set up the arrangements for "PickUp" of your new furry friend.

For the first 2 weeks you will be "Fostering-To-Adopt"

If both the "Foster Parent" and the Volunteers at the Humane Society are happy with the placement, your adoption will be processed.  By Email (snail mail if you don't have email) you will be sent your adoption contract, information on a Gift of Insurance, Microchip Registration info and a copy of the pet's Health Record. 

Our new pet parents and our pets are important and we want to make sure everything is just right!

Simcoe and District Humane Society is a non-profit, charitable organization Chartered in 1953, Performing Animal Welfare Services  in and around Norfolk County since the early 1950's. 
The Society is funded by fundraising efforts and donations from the community and relies solely on volunteers to work with the animals and raise the money for their care. 
Please, we want you to understand that we have not stopped working during COVID-19 and have learned a lot in a different way of sheltering.

We will slowly open up more days and hours, but we ask that you don't come inside unless invited.  We will do our best to facilitate the purr-fect adoption of your new fur-ever friend
Please bring a proper carrier with you to take your new furry friend home!
