Adoption Update: Ozzy

"I wanted to give a quick update on Ozzy (otherwise known as Sir Oswold, Purr Monster and Maker of Biscuits). He's settled in very quickly, no hiding or timidity whatsoever.

He's settled right in and seems very happy to be here. And I'm so happy to have him here!

He's shown little glimmers of playfulness and he's become quite vocal, saying hello to me when he comes into the room, and answering me back when I call to him. And he's got the cutest little "Wrrrr" when he wakes up. I love chatty cats.

Thank you so much for everything you do!"

How do you talk to your cat and dog about the birds and the bees?

Animal shelters are not the solution, every new litter adds to the problem by producing more unwanted animals and taking potential homes from those who are already in dire need of love and care.

Fix the problem. Spay and neuter your pets.

Today was the last in-shelter day for the Veterinary Assistant class of 2026 at the Maritime Business College, Halifax! 🩺

This partnership with the college offers students studying the VA program an opportunity to spend one day a month at the shelter putting their education into practice. From nail trims to temperatures, we're proud to offer a hand-on learning environment for the next generation of animal welfare. ❤️
