Meet Kinder & Cadbury!
These two lovebirds are sweet as candy and ready to find their forever homes. They are bonded and must find a home together. Kinder & Cadbury aren't used to being handled and can be a bit fearful of people, but their foster family is currently working on helping them understand that humans aren't as scary as they might think.
If you would like to give these beautiful birds a loving home, visit our website to apply today!
We hope everyone gets to spend a little time outside today to enjoy this beautiful planet we call home. Unplug for a while and try bird watching, take your dog for a walk, or maybe just take it easy on a park bench. The world is yours to explore!

Bailey found his forever home recently and here's his Happy Tail!
"Just wanted to let you know how great Bailey is doing. He took to his crate right away, going in on his own when he wanted a rest. He has shown his goofy side, chasing a ball and had some zoomies in the backyard. We will need to work on his confidence as he can get a bit nervous around new people, but Iβm sure the puppy training and socialization will help with that!"

The Stratford Perth Humane Society has been helping animals in need for over 40 years.
Formerly called the Perth County SPCA, in 2012 it was renamed the Stratford Perth Humane Society. The same year, it also joined the Kitchener Waterloo Humane Society to become one organization, now known as The Humane Society of Kitchener Waterloo and Stratford Perth.
The Humane Society exists to help animals in need in our communities. We operate two locations - the Kitchener Waterloo Humane Society in Kitchener, and the Stratford Perth Humane Society in Stratford. Together they service the areas of Kitchener, Waterloo, Wilmot, Woolwich, Wellesley, Stratford and Perth County. From time to time we help animals outside of these areas, as time and resources allow.
The Humane Society is self-funded and self- governed. Outside of contracts for animal protection services, we receive no government funding. We rely on the generosity of our donors to help animals within our communities and to provide animal welfare focused community education and outreach.
We offer a variety of community programs for youth and adults, as well as low-cost veterinary options such as microchipping, trap-neuter-return / barn cat programs, and spay/neuter services.
For more information on our organization, along with our programs and services, we gladly invite you to visit our website at kwsphumane.ca.
