Why Adopt?

Dreaming of a

FOREVER HOME
Adopting from a shelter is a wonderful way to give a homeless pet a secure and loving home. Typically shelters have a deep understanding of the temperament and health of the animals in their care and will provide you with a full background assessment, including the animal’s tolerance and attitude towards children. The priority for shelters is to find a lasting, compatible match between an owner and a pet that brings joy and a daily dose of happiness to all family members.

Very few things in life can compare to the unconditional love, companionship and fun given by our animal friends!

If it’s time for a new pet in your life, you will surely find your perfect companion at the Arnprior & District Humane Society. There are so many wonderful pets at our shelter- cats and dogs of all ages, shapes, sizes and breeds, waiting in hope for a home, someone to share life with, someone to love.

Make adoption your first option – and find your friend for life today!

  • You get excellent value.
