Little Petey was brought to the HSDR in a diaper box. Upon examination a hernia was detected, about to rupture. We rushed Petey in for emergency surgery to fix the life threatening hernia. We are happy to say Petey has made a full recovery in foster care and is on his way to his forever home.
The HSDR is building a much needed animal hospital as an addition to the shelter in order to provide immediate medical procedures for animals in distress. This hospital will also provide ongoing medical treatment for the numerous surrendered, abused and neglected animals that require our care. Our ‘Hospital for Hope’ will be the lifeline for these animals.
The HSDR serves 8 municipalities, covers 2,500 sq. km and receives NO government funding. We need your help to save animals like Petey.
Since 2014 the HSDR has helped over 6000 animals.
Over the last 5 years the Humane Society of Durham Region (HSDR) has provided housing, care and medical intervention for over 4000 cats in our community. In 2019, HSDR rescued 29 cats from one home in a case of animal hoarding. These cats and kittens were living in deplorable conditions and all required medical care, proper nutrition, and surgery.
We wouldn’t be able to save these precious animals without the support of our community.
Please consider making a donation, no matter how big or small, to help animals in need this holiday season. You can make a donation by clicking here.
