Staff Choice
Staff recommend a pet for people to adopt.
Kitchener-Waterloo Humane Society Me, me, me, me!! That’s right, please give me all of your attention and love! My name is Konnie and I just love to be around people. I’m a cat whose personality brims with confidence! You’ll recognize me right away; my brown tabby and white markings are distinctive, and you might also hear me because I’m very chatty! I...’m wishing to be one of the animals who are adopted in the month of December, so that I can be home for the holidays. Help the Centre reach their goal of adopting 153 animals to forever homes this holiday season!
Kitchener-Waterloo Humane Society What has four paws, lots of energy, and loves to play? Clara! She is a one year old Basset Hound mix that would be well suited to a home with older children. She’ll never say no to spending time with you, but remember her favourite thing to do is go for a walk. Come and meet her today!
Kitchener-Waterloo Humane Society Give your pet a gift basket from the Centre today! Baskets range in donation amounts from $10- $50! Pick one up today before they are gone!
