Happy Tails for Sookie, now lovingly known as Miss Moo ❤️

Sookie first came to us as a stray with no one coming forward to claim her. Now, this once homeless girl is living the life she was always meant to have.

Her adopter recently sent us this update:

“As soon as I foster failed and officially adopted her in January, something shifted in her. It was like she knew this was her forever home.

As we know, she has quite the personality. She makes me laugh almost every day. I still can't get over how smart she is and how quickly she picks up new tricks. Her favourite past times are counter surfing, sniff walks, and snoozing in the backyard.

We are super excited to be starting scent tracking next month!”

From unwanted stray to beloved best friend, stories like Miss Moo’s remind us how life-changing foster homes and adoption truly are.

Thank you for giving this clever, goofy girl the forever home she deserved. We absolutely love seeing her so happy and thriving. 🐾

Meet Chelsea, one of our amazing local kids making a real difference for the animals at HSKL. 💙🐾

For her Grade 8 “Genius Hour” project, Chelsea created and sold homemade bird treats and raised an incredible $200 to donate to the Humane Society of Kawartha Lakes.

Choosing to use her project to help animals in need shows compassion, creativity, and a huge heart. Fundraisers like this truly help us provide food, medical care, and shelter for the animals depending on us every day.

Thank you, Chelsea, for your hard work and kindness. You should be very proud of what you accomplished. The animals are lucky to have supporters like you in their corner. 🐶🐱🐰🐦

Back in March, Rhonda arrived at HSKL from a northern community heavily pregnant, scared, and completely shut down. A wonderful foster family stepped up to give her a safe place to land, and just two weeks later she gave birth to 8 beautiful puppies.

Over the last few months, this sweet girl has slowly let her personality shine, and what a lovely dog she has become. To Rhonda, the simple things mean the most: being close to her people, curling up beside you for cuddles, following you from room to room, or spending time outdoors enjoying the fresh air. She is affectionate, intelligent, calm, and incredibly loving, truly the definition of a gentle giant.

She has done wonderfully with children, cats, and other dogs, and has settled beautifully into home life. Rhonda is house trained, leash trained, eager to learn, and already knows several commands. Her foster family describes her as expressive, communicative, and endlessly loyal.

Now, one by one, her puppies are leaving for their forever homes, and soon it will finally be Rhonda’s turn. Her turn to be chosen, spoiled, and loved the way she deserves.

If you are looking for a kind-hearted companion with so much love to give, Rhonda may just be your perfect match. ❤️

Mochi is still looking for her forever home!
•Age: 3-5 years
•Gender: Female/Spayed
•Colour: Brown Tabby

Don’t let Mochi’s serious expressions fool you, behind that adorable resting grumpy face is a cat who enjoys attention, pets, and spending time with staff.

Mochi is a laid-back girl who enjoys the finer things in life: long naps, cozy spots to lounge, and the occasional play session with her favourite toys. She’s affectionate and enjoys being spoiled with attention, but she’s also confident enough to let you know when she’s had enough attention and is ready for some personal space.

Like many of us, Mochi is currently working on her health goals and shedding a few extra pounds. She’s making progress and would benefit from a family that can help her continue her healthy lifestyle journey while still enjoying plenty of love and treats in moderation.

Mochi would likely do best as the only cat in the home, where she can be the queen of the castle. This sweet, sassy girl has been waiting patiently for her forever home, and we would love to see her find a family that appreciates her personality as much as we do. If you’re looking for a cat with character, companionship, and just the right amount of sass, Mochi may be your ‘puuurfect ‘match.

Adoption Fee: $150, tax included

How to adopt : If you think you could be a good fit for Mochi, please complete an application, https://www.uxbridge.ca/public/download/files/310592, applications should be emailed to [email protected] or come in to meet him,
Monday-Friday 10am-5pm or
Saturday 10am-3pm

For more information please contact Uxbridge-Scugog Animal Shelter at 905 985 9547 or come in and speak with staff at 1360 Reach St, Port Perry, ON L9L 0C2

IN NEED OF FOSTERS!

Our shelter is overflowing with puppies, kittens, nursing moms, and babies that all need somewhere safe to go. We urgently need foster homes now.

Want to do something meaningful with your family this summer? Foster an animal and help save lives right here in our community.

Fostering gives vulnerable animals a safe place to grow, heal, socialize, and thrive while opening up space in the shelter for the next animal in need. Whether you can help for a few days, a few weeks, or longer, every foster home makes a difference.
We provide supplies, support, and medical care. You provide the love, patience, and safe space they need.

Tiny kittens, playful puppies, mommas, pregnant cats, bottle babies, and animals recovering from illness are all waiting for someone to say yes.

Apply to foster today and be part of lifesaving this summer.

Please share to help us find foster families.
