Thinking of Owning a Pet?

Owning a pet can be a wonderful experience that brings many rewards. There are also many responsibilities. Pets must be cared for and protected. These guidelines outline many of those responsibilities. They describe the questions you should ask before choosing your pet. Click here to review the guidelines.

You Should Know

• We require two pieces of identification and proof of current address before animals are adopted
• All dogs and cats are spayed and neutered before they are adopted  
• All adoptions applications are multiple applications
• We accept cash, Interac, Visa or MasterCard but are unable to accept cheques  
• Adoption times end one-half hour before the shelter closes each day
• All animals in the shelter belong to the London Humane Society and we reserve the right to decline applications
