 COVID-19 Preparedness

Keep at least a two-week supply of pet food and water for your pets, as well as any medication they may need and a travel crate properly labeled with your pet’s name and your contact information.

Identify trusted family or friends who can care for your pets: Have at least three options lined up in case they become sick or hospitalized. Ensure you have spoken with these individuals before you consider them as an option.

Include your name and contact information, your pet’s feeding schedule, any medical conditions and treatment instructions. Document your pet’s vaccination status, and list the contact information for your veterinarian.

Fill out your Pet Information Sheet.

New Adoption Procedures

If you are interested in Adopting, you can call Burlington Humane to book an appointment to come into the shelter and fill out an adoption application.  Please call 905-637-7325 to book your appointment.  If you currently have a pet, or have had a pet in the past, you will need to send in your pet’s veterinary records before you come for your appointment.  You can send your pet’s veterinary records to adoptions@burlingtonhumane.ca.  Or alternatively, you can bring your vet records with you.

Please note, you will need to come with your vet records or have them sent to us before your appointment time in order to fill out an application.  We ask that all members of the family come together to your appointment, and if you have a pet carrier, please bring that along as well.  All applicants must be fully vaccinated to enter Burlington Humane.

Once your application is filled out, you will talk with one of our Adoption Counsellors.  If they feel you are able to move forward in the process, they will take you into meet with our animals. 

Check List

• Appointment time booked with Burlington Humane
• Vet records sent
• Have a Pet Carrier (Pet carriers can be purchased at “The Loft”, Burlington Humane’s second hand store, located at the shelter).
• All members of the family are attending
• Have Proof of vaccination and ID.

** If you are interested in a cat, please check our Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube pages featuring videos of available cats for more information on each cat’s personality and needs.  When you have an appointment to meet our animals, please come with two or three cats in mind to meet.  You can then meet those specific cats so you can make your own judgement on their personalities. Please also continually check the website before your appointment to ensure the cat you want to meet is still available for adoption. **

You can keep track of animals available for adoption on our YouTube channel, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages.  We will post dog adoption applications when we have dogs available for adoption.  Thank you for your understanding.

Please note that all animals available for adoption are listed on our website.
