Surrendering an Animal:
At the Thunder Bay & District Humane Society, we understand that sometimes things happen that affect your ability to care for your animal(s) & in turn surrender them to the Shelter. With that being said, we need to protect our animals within our shelter and the animals entering. If you are thinking of surrendering your animal to us, please make sure you complete the following:
The animal MUST have proper up to date Veterinarian paperwork.
The animal will require Veterinarian records within the last 6 months.
You MUST call us to schedule a meet and greet with the animal.
* Please note that we will no longer be doing animal surrenders on Saturday & Sundays. You will need to call us at 475-8803 in order to schedule a surrender. Please do not show up at the shelter with an animal, we will no longer be able to assist unless scheduled*
Foster Parent Program
Foster homes are a necessary component of a successful shelter.
In foster homes animals are provided with socialization, allows space for mother cats/dogs to raise their young, and time for sick or injured animals to heal. Without these foster homes, many of these animals would not survive. Foster homes also free up space within the shelter, which means more lives are saved!
Become a Volunteer
Here at the Thunder Bay & District Humane Society, we have designed a volunteer program that allows our volunteers to contribute in a dedicated and meaningful way. Our volunteers assist TBDHS in providing humane care and protection to all our animals.
These volunteer positions allow for an opportunity to help animals in need, learn what it takes to keep the Thunder Bay & District Humane Society going, and give back to the community. We welcome and encourage committed individuals to apply for the position that best suits you!
