Activities & Events

What began as one young volunteer’s passion has grown into something truly special at ADHS. For the past three years, 9-year-old Liv has been volunteering at the shelter to read to and socialize our cats—helping them feel calm, loved, and more comfortable as they wait for their forever homes. With the opening of our expanded community room, Liv and her mom brought that idea to life with Liv’s Library—a cozy reading space where children can read to shelter cats. 

If your child is interested in attending a session, please reach out to Katrina Zaple at knzaple@gmail.com for more information and to reserve your spot or click 'Learn More' to view full program details and upcoming session dates.

Thank you to Liv for inspiring this incredible program—our cats are already looking forward to the next story time!

Dog Program Update

This month, our dog program will be running a little differently. Dog meet-and-greets will now be by appointment only, giving potential adopters dedicated one-on-one time with both our adoptable dogs and volunteers in a calmer, less stressful environment.

Please book an appointment to meet with our adoptable dogs at our upcoming open house by clicking this link: https://alliston-district-humane-society.reservio.com

Please note: this appointment system is for dogs only. Our cat and small animal programs will still be offering walk-in tours during the event. We can’t wait to see you there!

See you there!
