Adopting a pet is a great way to add to your family! With pet over-population continuing to occur there are always many pets needing a home. If you are thinking of getting a pet I would suggest checking out your local shelters to see if there is anyone there who would be the perfect match for your family.
I recently came across a webiste servicing the US and Canada. It lists shelters and rescues searchable by city or postal code. I was surprised to see that there were a handfull listed for Hamilton and Burlington Ontario! If you are looking to adopt a pet you may want to check this site out. There are many deserving pets that are waiting for a great home!

If you don't have the time or space for a pet, volunteering your time at a local shelter or adopting a pet financially for a year can be just as helpful and rewarding.
I also came across a website for a local aviary that runs with the help of many dedicated volunteers. This aviary is located in Hamilton and houses many different varieties of birds. It is open to the public on Sundays from 1-4pm. You can also "adopt" a bird on a yearly basis and the money you donate goes the upkeep and feeding of that particular bird for the year. What a great idea!
