My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hello! My name is Eileen!

I`ve been waiting for my new home since March. My GHS friends say that the right home is always worth the wait and I am excited for them to come along! I`m a beautiful combination of affectionate and energetic. I can keep up with activities - hikes, fetch, etc. and then I will be a great cuddle buddy at the end of a long day. I enjoy meeting new people! I don’t love seeing dogs on walks. It tends to stress me out. But luckily I’m so smart and eager to work that training is going really well! I settle nicely when it’s just me so should do fine being left home alone. In a home that likes a smart, affectionate dog, and has some interest in a bit of training, I’m going to be the best companion!

MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES…
CHILDREN: I would do best in a mature home without too much commotion. Teenagers may be fine.
OTHER DOGS: I am looking to be the only pet as I don`t enjoy the company of other dogs.
CATS: I would prefer to be the only pet.
FIRST-TIME DOG OWNERS: I would do best with someone who has dog experience.
FENCED-IN YARD: Required.
HOUSING ENVIRONMENT: Any, with a yard.
SOMEONE HOME MOST OF THE DAY: Not necessarily.

SOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME…
ACTIVITY LEVEL: Medium.
HOUSE-TRAINED: Yes.

FOSTER ME! I’m excited to be selected as part of the Paisley Project and I’m looking for a foster home! If your home environment matches what I’m looking for based on the information above, please consider applying to foster me by copying and pasting the following link to fill out the questionnaire: https://guelphhumane.ca/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=frm_forms_preview&form=7y88o.
The Paisley Project aims to match selected, long-stay animals at GHS with fosters that can provide a home that gradually introduces them to the everyday experiences of life as a pet. Fosters will offer the routine, structure and stability needed to help get animals ready for their new family. Learn more at https://guelphhumane.ca/the-paisley-project/.

The Guelph Humane Society is open for in-person animal viewing hours Tuesdays through Fridays from 1pm to 3pm. During this time, you can meet the cats in our cozy kennel, view our adoptable dogs and small animals living in-shelter.

We now facilitate cat adoptions in-person on Saturdays! Join us in shelter on Saturdays from 11am to 2pm to meet your perfect match.

More about this shelter

For 125 years, the Guelph Humane Society has been dedicated to protecting and caring for the many animals with whom we share our community and our lives, and to fostering the important bonds with animals that enrich us as individuals, families and communities. Founded in 1893, the Guelph Humane Society provides care and shelter for more than 3,000 homeless, stray, injured, and abused animals each year throughout Guelph and Wellington County.

Our programs are delivered by an enthusiastic team of staff with many years of experience in animal care and welfare. In addition to paid staff, we are lucky to have over 400 active volunteers who provide thousands of hours of service each year and generously share their skills and ideas.

The Guelph Humane Society has a strong working relationship with local, provincial, and national animal welfare organizations; local school boards; the City of Guelph; Township of Centre Wellington; Township of Guelph-Eramosa; local veterinarians; the Ontario Veterinary College Health Sciences Centre at the University of Guelph; and Guelph Police Services and the Provincial Crown Attorney’s Office. We are an affiliate society of the Ontario SPCA, and proud member of the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies (CFHS).

Our organization is guided by a Board of Directors made up of volunteers with a wide range of skills and business experience. The Board also convenes several ad hoc committees, which work to address specific issues. Day-to-day operations of the shelter are managed by the Executive Director and senior staff with the Board’s general guidance.

We are a registered charitable, non-profit organization that does not receive government funding. As such, we depend on your donations and private funding to support our important work. The Guelph Humane Society charitable registration number is 119236305RR0001.
