About The Georgian Triangle Humane Society
Our mission is to deliver innovative programs and compassionate services that enhance the lives of pets in need and the people that care for them. Our Core Values are team work, responsive solutions and compassionate service.
Together, we enhance lives, inspire compassion and bring joy to pets and people.
Animal Adoption
The GTHS facilitates the adoption of over 1300 pets annually to loving families and individuals. Our goal is to find the best match between adopters and the cats, dogs, kittens and puppies in our program. The GTHS uses a conversational style process (Adopter’s Welcome) to engage adopters and make the adoption process seamless from start to finish.
Animal Transport
Working collaboratively with volunteers, donors and rescue partners, the GTHS runs an animal transport program that focuses on working together, predominately with Northern communities. In 2019, 218 dogs were transported as part of this program to find loving adoptive homes through the GTHS adoption program.
Animal Hospital
The Georgian Triangle Humane Society’s new on-site Animal Hospital provides veterinary care to shelter animals along with community feral cats.
Community Cats
The GTHS offers spay/neuter surgeries to feral cats as part of Trap, Neuter, Release colony management through the GTHS Animal Hospital. This service to funded by a Community Cats Fund that is supported by donations from local businesses and individuals. We also offer a Community Cats Food Bank and Trap Bank.
Dog School
The GTHS is proud to offer the public canine obedience classes for both adult dogs and puppies.
Owner Surrender
At the GTHS, we understand that sometimes you have to make the difficult decision to give up your pet. We offer surrender services to meet this need.
Pet Services
The GTHS knows for some people it is their pet that gets them out of bed in the morning. Keeping pets together with their loving families just makes sense and as such, the Pet Retention program provides support to pet owners that need emergency boarding or medical services.

Wellness Clinics
The GTHS provides a number of wellness clinics, including Rabies & Microchipping and Cat Neuter Days.
Youth Programs & Humane Education
The goal of our Humane Education Program is to explore the special relationship humans have with companion animals, recognizing that we share many of the same physical and emotional needs. Youth Programs include our After School Programs, Youth Club and Vets of Tomorrow I & II.
