Yikes! Cold, hot, fresh air!
Fourteen of our doggy doors are in need of replacing.
With this past brutal winter, many of the doors did not seal properly, allowing cold gusts of wind and snow to enter the inner kennels. These new dog doors can be opened by staff from inside the shelter to allow our dogs to romp outdoors and receive fresh air or remain closed to keep the dogs warm in winter and cool in summer.
Although the new doors cost $500 each, we are hoping that our community members will be willing to donate $50 to help us purchase as many replacement doors as possible. Your support is invaluable to us, as a not for profit organization.

KITTEN SEASON is almost upon us. Kitten season usually runs from March to October depending on the severity of the winter.
Many pregnant cats, cats with litters and just wee kitties found outside, on their own, are brought to the shelter for care. We have an extensive kitten foster programme and amazing foster families who bottle feed some of the babies every 2 hours. Last year we found loving homes for approximately 350 kittens.
Saving, protecting and nurturing these adorable kittens requires the HSDR to purchase and provide weigh scales, bottles, special food such as 'Baby Cat’, milk replacement formula (KMR), vaccines and procedures such as spays and neuters.
This year we are asking the community for help. Food alone costs the HSDR over $5000 for the season.
By donating $25 to KITTEN SEASON, we can purchase a case of food or a can of milk formula.
Please help us save these helpless little kittens as the season begins.

To see our Amazon Wish List please click here! Here at the Humane Society of Durham Region we try to keep the animals as comfortable and happy as possible while they stay in our shelter. Along with lots of human interaction, walks for the dogs and play time for the cats, we try to engage in mental activities with the animals. These items will be used for enrichment and we would like to have enough supplies so that every animal has this enrichment every day.
