We Need Your Help!

Simcoe and District Humane Society does not receive any funding from the government at any level. We rely entirely on the generosity of donations and fundraising efforts from caring people like you.

Every Day

All types of animals need us; from sick, injured, malnourished, freezing, overheated, dying, orphaned, abandoned or surrendered.

Around the Clock

Volunteers (those at the shelter, in foster homes, and on emergency call-out) work around the clock to help these animals.

We Can't Do It Without You

Breaking Ground On Our New Home

We’re excited to share a major milestone in our journey. Thanks to the incredible support of our community, we are officially breaking ground on our new Simcoe and District Humane Society building. This new facility represents a fresh start — not just for us, but for every animal that will walk through our doors. It will allow us to expand our capacity, improve medical care, and create a safer, more comfortable environment for animals in need.

For years, we have worked tirelessly to serve Norfolk County and the surrounding areas with limited space and growing demand. This new building will give us the ability to meet those needs head-on — with modern veterinary areas, improved adoption spaces, and room to grow alongside our community. But this project is about more than walls and rooms. It’s about second chances. It’s about giving every animal the care, dignity, and opportunity they deserve.

With your continued support, we are building a future where more animals can be rescued, rehabilitated, and rehomed into loving families. Every step forward brings us closer to opening our doors to a new chapter — one filled with hope, compassion, and lasting impact.

This is more than a building — it’s a promise to the animals, and a reflection of what we can achieve together.

  • More space to give animals the care they deserve.
  • Better medical facilities to support their recovery.
  • A safer, more welcoming environment for adoption.
  • The ability to help more animals find loving homes.

Education and Fact-Based Seminars

Volunteers are always preparing for Educational Seminars on our Foster Care Program, interactions with scared and less social animals, directives on appropriate animal care and information on Simcoe and District Humane Society.

Are you interested in gaining knowledge in these areas or have a group or organization that wants to know more about SDHS please click on the button below. 

S.W.A.P.

We Need Volunteers to help with our Seniors With Animals as Pets Program!

Pets make great companions for seniors and SDHS tries to help Seniors keep their pets in their homes instead of surrendering them.

This is better for both the Senior and their pet!

Volunteers visit the home and help place bowls, litter pans, and other needs of the animal to help the senior care for their pet, or it's possible daily visits may be needed.

Dog walking, playtime, vet visits may also be asked from the Society.

We need your help to enable us to continue the program.

Helping Hands Helping Hearts

One of our busiest programs relies on donors, foster homes, and boarding facilities as we help those facing difficult life events. 

It may be just a helping hand with some extra pet food until payday or a 6–8-week pet stay while owners are in a shelter due to a family violence situation. 

SDHS works closely with many County organizations and support services to help family pets in need.

We need your help with donations of food, pet related supplies, money, and foster homes to help this program.  You can donate at the shelter, by PayPal or   e-transfer finance@s-dhs.ca 

Click on the link to become a foster home for bunnies, cats, dogs, small animals, rodents, and others while the owner gets the help they need.

  Many SPCA's and Shelters are initiating programs such as this, however, SDHS has been busy with this program for 20+ years.
