A huge thank you to Pure Flavor for generously volunteering to sponsor and build a vegetable garden here at the Humane Society!

This garden will provide fresh, healthy treats for the rabbits, guinea pigs, and other small animals in our care throughout the warm months. Not only will it help enrich the lives of our animals, but it also helps us reduce food costs so more resources can go directly toward animal care.

We're so grateful to the Pure Flavor Farms team for rolling up their sleeves and spending the day helping bring this project to life. Your dedication to giving back to the community—and to the animals who depend on us—is truly appreciated.

Thank you for helping us grow something special! 💚🐾

Midday Mood Boost - Meet Itty Bitty!

Hello, I'm Itty Bitty, an almost 4-year-old all-black beauty looking for a forever home that appreciates the quieter side of life. I enjoy cozy naps, peaceful days, and spending time in my favorite bed-which, by the way, absolutely must come home with me!

I may hiss when we first meet, but don't take it personally. I just need a little time, patience, and understanding to feel comfortable. Once I settle in, you'll find I'm a wonderful independent companion who enjoys having a safe place to relax and call her own.

I came in with another cat, so I have experience living with feline friends, but any introductions should be done slowly. A calm home would suit me best, and while I'd likely prefer a home without young children, I'd be willing to give respectful, gentle kids a chance.

If you're looking for a beautiful cat who enjoys life's slower moments and just needs someone willing to let her warm up at her own pace, I'd love to meet you. Just don't forget my bed!

Midday Mood Boost - Meet Milo!

5 years old, part Jack Russell Terrier, part caffeinated tornado, all heart.

Milo is looking for an active home that's ready to embrace his "go big or go home" approach to life. This guy has energy for days and would love humans who enjoy walks, adventures, playtime, and generally keeping up with his very important squirrel patrol duties.

Milo is a people-loving little comedian who believes snacks are a personality trait. Treats? Amazing. Food? Incredible. Humans? His favorite thing ever. Being alone? Absolutely not, thank you. Milo would much rather hang out with his people and provide helpful commentary on your daily activities with his impressive vocal talents. Because of this, apartment life probably isn't his style - unless your neighbors also enjoy hearing passionate speeches about passing leaves and delivery drivers.

Milo would do best as the only pet in the home. He prefers his personal bubble respected by other dogs, and cats trigger his inner Olympic sprinter, so a dog-free and cat-free home is a must.

He's also not a huge fan of restraint or being handled in certain ways, so he'll need a patient owner willing to continue helping him build confidence and trust. The good news? Milo is smart, food-motivated, and eager to bond with people who understand him.

If you're looking for a funny, loyal, high-energy sidekick who will keep you laughing, moving, and never eating snacks alone again, Milo may just be your guy.

💰 Start digging through those cup holders, couch cushions, and change jars!

From June 11–13, our incredible Strays on Streetcorners volunteers will be out across Windsor-Essex collecting donations to help animals in need. Every coin, bill, and donation makes a difference for pets who need a second chance.

Your support helps animals like Ghosty Girl.

For months, Ghosty Girl survived on her own as a stray, earning the nickname "the Ghost" because she was so difficult to catch. When she finally arrived at the Humane Society, she needed extensive medical care, behavioural support, and months of patience to learn that people could be trusted. She spent time in foster care, learned how to be a beloved indoor companion, and eventually found her forever home.

Stories like Ghosty Girl's don't happen overnight. They require medical treatment, behaviour support, foster care, nutritious food, and dedicated staff and volunteers every step of the way.

So get your change ready, give a wave to our volunteers June 11–13, or make a donation online today to help us get the campaign off to a strong start!

Midday Mood Boost - Meet Martin!

Hi, I'm Martin. I'm a rooster with a heart full of song and a morning routine that could brighten even the sleepiest sunrise. Each day, I greet the world the way I know best-with a confident, cheerful crow that comes straight from the heart. I may not be "ordinary," but I like to think that's what makes me special. I've lived a life that's taught me to appreciate the simple things: warm sun on my feathers, a safe place to rest, and kind humans nearby who don't mind a little music with their mornings. I've seen enough to know that comfort, routine, and kindness matter most. I'm now looking for a home where I can keep doing what I love-singing my song and enjoying peaceful days in good company. I don't need much, just a safe outdoor setup, room to be myself, and someone who appreciates that I come with a soundtrack. P.S. I'm a law-abiding fella, so my new digs will need to be outside of the City of Windsor.

Back by popular demand, our wonderful volunteers have organized another fun and creative Focaccia Art Class in support of the Windsor/Essex County Humane Society.

The session will include a live demonstration on how to make focaccia dough at home, along with tips and techniques to recreate it yourself. Participants will also get to enjoy a sample of freshly baked focaccia.

Midday Mood Boost - Meet Theory (Special Paws - FIV+)!

Hi, I'm Theory, and after 9 years of gathering wisdom, I've come to one very important conclusion: a loving home is the best place to be.

I'm a sweet, social senior girl who absolutely adores attention. If you sit down, there's a good chance I'll be nearby, hoping for some pets, kind words, and quality time together. I'm friendly, affectionate, and happiest when I'm spending time with my people. While some cats prefer to keep to themselves, I enjoy being part of the action and making friends wherever I go.

I also have experience living with other cats, so with proper introductions, I may enjoy sharing my home with a feline companion. At 9 years old, I've left the kitten chaos behind and traded it for a calm, loving personality that makes me a wonderful companion. I still have plenty of love to give and am ready to spend my golden years being spoiled the way every cat deserves.

If you're looking for a gentle, affectionate friend who will happily fill your home with love, I think my theory is correct: we belong together. Come meet me and see if I'm the missing piece of your family.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us at our first Drive-Thru Microchip Clinic of 2026!

As a special milestone during our 100th anniversary year, we were excited to celebrate Luna, our 100th pet microchipped at the clinic! 📸🐶

This event would not have been possible without the incredible support of our partners and volunteers. Special thanks to Dr. Elizabeth Cozens, the St. Clair College Veterinary Program, Emeryville Animal Hospital and Belle River Animal Clinic for generously donating their time and expertise to help make the clinic a success.

We'd also like to thank the Municipality of Lakeshore and Atlas Tube Centre for graciously hosting us and providing the perfect location for this community event.

Thank you to everyone who came out and helped keep pets safe. We look forward to seeing you at our next clinic! ❤️🐾
