The campaign for a new Peterborough Humane Society
A Canadian First, this innovative Centre is three programs under one roof. A high-volume, low-cost Spay and Neuter Clinic, a cutting-edge Dog Rehabilitation Centre and an Education and Adoption Centre.
About Us
New Animal Care Centre
While the current site on Lansdowne Street East has served Peterborough and Peterborough County well for the last 64 years, we have outgrown the space as we are caring for more animals than ever before. In our new, purpose-built facility dogs, cats and small animals will have more room and will experience less noise and stress which will make them happier and healthier and set them to find their forever home that much sooner.

Join Our Pet Project
Our New Care Centre will help more pets get & stay healthy; find their perfect people and continue the cycle of health and happiness together. This will help make the community happier and healthier by bringing new jobs, national attention and new resources to the City of Peterborough, Peterborough County, the surrounding region and beyond for generations to come.

At the Peterborough Humane Society we facilitate adoptions to help dogs, cats and small animals match with their perfect family and find their forever home.
Last year we facilitated nearly 1,000 adoptions! We provide shelter and care for over 1,500 lost, injured, abandoned and abused animals each year.

“The new Centre will touch many lives, not only in our community, but regionally and provincially. It’s a direct result of what can be accomplished on behalf of animals and communities when organizations work together.

My family and I are proud to call this Our Pet Project”
