Hamilton PAWS, in collaboration with community case managers and the social service sector, provides support and community referrals to individuals with pet companions. Each situation is assessed and a community plan is developed to ensure the needs of both the animal companion and the owner are met. Using supports and services available in the community, the focus of the plan is to keep individuals and their pet companions together.
Temporary Fostering/Vet Kenneling Care
Our program helps individuals who need a temporary place for their pet in order to enable them access essential or crisis services.
Our service can arrange to pick up and deliver pet companions into temporary fostering and kenneling care as well as arrange vaccinations if pets need to be taken into foster care.
Community Veterinary Outreach Clinics
Hamilton PAWS partners with and hosts the Community Veterinary Outreach local clinics to provide no cost, preventive, veterinary care to the most vulnerable and at risk individuals and their animal companions. For more information please visit www.vetoutreach.org.
Please contact our program coordinator regarding eligibility and the referral process.
Please note all referrals must be completed by a community case manager. Case managers must initiate contact with Hamilton PAWS.
