Santa came early for Lucy!

She received her groom today with the help of this incredible community!

@walnutgroveboarding is always so kind and generous with helping our shelter animals look amazing while giving them patience throughout their appointment.

We are so grateful Lucy was able to get a much needed groom!

Hopefully her #1 wish comes true soon as well - finding her forever home 💙

Last but not least, the cats and kittens have something to say to Santa! 🎅

While most items can be shared among all the cats, it's extra nice for them to have something brand new in their cage.

Ho Ho Ho! ❄

Our Pocket Pets have lists for Santa too! ☃️

We currently have several rabbits, hamsters and guinea pigs either in the shelter, a foster home, or at a pet store for adoption!

No matter where these guys are for the holidays, we will ensure their stocking gets delivered!

The shelter dogs have written their letters to Santa! 📬

While their number one wish is to be adopted and in a home, there are items that would make a difference in their stay at the shelter.

With less than a month until Christmas, we are sharing their Wish Lists and hope to be able to give each dog a special gift! If the dog is adopted, their gift will be shared with any new dogs in the shelter.

Love from,
Jake, Buddy, Lucy, Casper & Troy!

The cats are LOVING their new Kuranda beds!

The tower is perfect for the cat room as it gives options for multiple cats to try it out, and it's vertical design doesn't take up lots of floor space. Joey was eager to test it out!

Huff is resting on his single cat bed, and we have made a hiding spot for him underneath should he need some quiet time.

We are so humbled and happy that our supporters have made this possible for the cats that call the shelter home, for now and in the future!

Kuranda ShelterBeds are durable, easy to clean and most importantly, provide comfort to the cats that don't have a home.

Thank you to the incredible group at Helping Hands Northumberland for supplying our shelter staff with new gowns!

Wearing gowns while caring for the animals is essential in preventing the spread of illness in the shelter. Having washable gowns helps us to stay safe while also being better for the planet than disposable ones.

It may not look like it, but Pandora was impressed with our new gowns and posing for the photo!

Thank you for those that donated material and their time to support the shelter!

Do you have lots of love to give to a furry friend, but not interested in the commitment of adoption?

Become a foster parent!

Northumberland Humane Society is always looking for foster homes, as it allows us to help more animals! Typically we are restricted by the small capacity of our shelter, so having foster homes to help out with dogs, cats, and pocket pets is essential!

If you have questions about the foster program, we would love to chat!
> DM our socials
> phone 905-885-4131
> email foster@northumberlandhs.com

Our Foster Application is how we get to know you better and match you with the best Animal for you: northumberlandhs.com

It seems that every year the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales keep getting bigger and bigger!

Giving Tuesday is observed on November 30th and is a day to show your support for charities in need.

The Northumberland Humane Society has been serving our community since 1966 and is the only registered charitable animal shelter in Northumberland County.

Northumberland Humane Society relies solely on donations to provide a safe haven for hundreds of pet dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, hamsters, rats, mice, etc. each year.

Please consider donating to our shelter this Giving Tuesday, and help us improve the lives of animals in need!

When Cappy isn't deciding whether to snack or nap, he enjoys activities like hanging out in your pocket or modeling miniature furniture!

Hamsters are more active in the evening, so it's a great time to bond with your furry friend! Cappy is only 9 months old and is hoping to find a forever home where he can continue his adorable ways.

Adoption fee for hamsters is $15. Please email info@northumberlandhs.com for an application!

Adopt Carmen!

This 5 year old beauty came into our care earlier this month, and is showing her true colours while in a loving foster home!
In a matter of days, Carmen was so comfortable outside the shelter environment that she was rolling over on her back for belly rubs!

Carmen is affectionate and purrs with bliss when you give her lots of pats. She is a gentle lady who adores being brushed, which is helping to improve her overall coat. Carmen is on a bit of a weight loss journey, but fortunately she is getting lots of play time! She enjoys a variety of toys and will play with you as well as independently.

If you have been thinking about adopting, contact us about Carmen before someone else scoops her up!
