Tree of Lights
Honour your loved ones on our Tree of Lights. The tree will remain lit this holiday season in our shelter lobby with hanging ornaments in memory, or in honour of the special people and pets in our lives. Bulbs can be purchased for $5 each here, or at the shelter.
Small is Beautiful!
Our rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, birds and hamsters may be small, but the love they provide is big! We have an abundance of smaller animals, especially rabbits, who are looking for their forever families. Click here to find your ideal companion.

Happy Reunion!
Molly’s owners were shocked to receive a telephone call from our Lost and Found department. They had left Molly safely at home with visiting guests and were not expecting to hear from us. Thankfully Molly was found safe! Read more reunion stories here.
Keeping Pets and People Together
The OMHS Pet Food Bank is continuing to help those in our community affected by COVID-19. When Benji’s guardian lost her job due to Covid-19, she took the step to register with one of our partner food banks after being unsuccessful with finding new employment. Now, with the stress of obtaining food for herself and Benji lifted, she is again searching for employment. Learn more here.
