Why adopt? Choosing a pet is a life-changing decision! There are many benefits to adopting an animal and adding a furry friend into your life. At Oshawa Animal Services, we are committed and make every effort to re-unite all lost pets with their owners. In the cases where this is not possible, they are placed up for adoption to find their forever homes.
Happy endings and new beginnings: Adoption saves lives.
One of those most important things about adopting a pet is that it saves lives! Yes, you saved that animal and gave it a new beginning! At Oshawa Animal Services we pride ourselves that every single healthy and adoptable animal is able to with us at the shelter or in foster until they are adopted. We are able to do this because of our wonderful adopters and community support. In adopting a pet, you not only give that pet a brighter future, you also create a precious shelter space for another animal to begin the story of their own happy beginning!
At Oshawa Animal Services, our promise to our adopters is simple: We will continue to support you through all steps of your pet’s life the best we can, we are always a phone call away for any questions or concerns!
We are always a phone call away to help with any post-adoption support. In your adoption package you will receive any past history we may have on your newly adopted family member. More often than not we only deal with strays so often have very limited information – but anything we do know we pass along to you!
A happy life is a healthy life: Adoption starts your pet on the path to a healthy future.
Prior to becoming available for adoption, we hold all stray animals for their stray hold period to let an owner come forward. In the event an owner does not step forward, the animal becomes available for adoption. The animals at Oshawa Animal Services are vet checked for any health conditions they may have. In addition, all cats, and dogs are spayed or neutered and also receive their first shots, rabies vaccine, deworming, flea treatment, and a microchip! All of this is included in the animal’s standard adoption fee!
It’s not just the right thing to do - adoption is a reward!
