Gananoque District Humaine Society

AMAZING NEWS on this snowy day! ❄️✨ Gananoque & District Humane Society has been awarded a $15,000 grant from The Eric S. Margolis Foundation! In a world where bad news can sometimes feel constant, we hope this reminds everyone that generosity is still very much alive. Our community continues to lift us up, and we truly could not do what we do without you. Our gratitude runs deep. ❤️ The Eric S. Margolis Foundation is dedicated to supporting organizations that protect and uplift animals, promote humane care, and strengthen compassionate communities. Their commitment to animal welfare aligns perfectly with our mission, and we are honoured to be chosen as a recipient of their support. This funding will allow us to add two more fear-free kennels for the many cats entering our care. With only a few weeks left in 2025, GDHS has already helped over 160 cats—and now, with this generous grant, we’ll be able to help even more cats in the communities that need it most. To our supporters, donors, and everyone who believes in our mission: thank you. You make all of this possible. □□

Recycle Any Royal Canin Bag — Provide Ongoing Support for Local Pets!

We’re collecting any Royal Canin pet food bags through TerraCycle to earn points that provide ongoing support for the Gananoque & District Humane Society.
Drop off your clean, empty Royal Canin bags at Gananoque & District Humane Society, 85 County Rd 32, Gananoque.
Every bag = points that help care for animals all year long.
It’s a simple way to help the planet and give back to the cats in our community who need us most.

Thank you for making a difference, one bag at a time!

And don't forget - the Bottle Return shed is available to take your bottle returns

The bottle return donations are a major source of income for GDHS, and without our bottle return enclosure, many people were asking if we were still accepting donations

Songwood Contracting kindly built the enclosure using reclaimed lumber so GDHS can accept bottles and cans for return to the LCBO.
TELL YOUR FRIENDS and FAMILY!

The shelter is open by appointment only.
