Mission Statement
The Peterborough Humane Society advocates for the welfare of animals by improving their lives, alleviating suffering, rescuing, providing shelter, healing, facilitating adoption and reducing pet overpopulation.
About This Cause
The Peterborough Humane Society (PHS) advocates for the welfare of animals by rescuing lost, stray and homeless pets throughout Peterborough County. It is an Open Admission for Life Centre and the largest animal shelter in Peterborough County, facilitating 1,000 adoptions each year. All animals in their care receive veterinary care, vaccinations and are spayed/neutered prior to being adopted. PHS does not receive any government or institutional funding for their operations and relies on generous donations from the community. Peterborough Humane Society was established in 1941, and the current shelter at 385 Lansdowne Street East, was built in 1956 and was initially designed to serve as a pound. While the current site has served the community well for the last 60+ years, we have outgrown the space as we are caring for more pets than ever before – around 1,600 pets come through our doors annually. Promoting responsible pet ownership is central to what we do and we often partner with other animal welfare agencies, such as Humane International, the Ontario SPCA and Humane Society and other humane societies in the transfer of pets from communities that need assistance in caring for their pets, and rehoming them to loving homes here in Peterborough and the Kawarthas.
