Sylvester the cat dropped by the meeting with architects Roy and Becki from ISM Architects to give his opinion on the needs of his feline friends in the new expansion! He was happy to consult with the designers but hopes to be gone to his furever home before the construction begins.
Find out more about our Second Chances: Shelter Expansion below as well as ways you can donate to the expansion fund.
Alliston & District Humane Society (ADHS) has been helping lost, abandoned and abused animals since 1988. For three and half decades, thousands and thousands of dogs, cats, rabbits, and small animals have received food, shelter, medical care, compassion, and ultimately found their forever homes because of the love and dedication of our incredibly devoted volunteers.
Our shelter, first built in 2010, has served us well over the years. But we outgrew our current facilities years ago, and we are now bursting at the seams. As the region’s only no-kill shelter, we can only take in as many animals as we have space for, and we find ourselves in the incredibly difficult position of having to turn away animals in need. As animal lovers, this goes against everything we stand for and it’s the reason why we so urgently need your help today.
To meet the demand, we are launching the SECOND CHANCES: Shelter Expansion Capital Campaign to renovate and repair our existing shelter and expand our facility to care for more animals, grow our education and outreach programs and fund daily operation costs.
In total, we need to raise $4 million dollars through this campaign. We’re thrilled to share that $1.5 million has already been generously donated through a legacy gift from Susan Robbins. And with our community’s support, we can raise the additional $2.5 million needed to renovate our facility and build and operate a major expansion, where we aim to double the size of today’s shelter, with a dedicated cat area, exam rooms, a community room, isolation area, a small animal area, exercise room and additional intake space.
This is an exciting time for ADHS. We’re beyond grateful to have received such an incredible gift to launch this campaign, but we need your help to keep momentum going to get shovels in the ground in 2024. Please join with us today to build a better shelter for thousands of dogs, cats, rabbits and small animals, in our community – now and for years to come.
“ADHS has grown right out of the existing building, including the public community room which is housing overflow animals. This expansion will allow us to continue to take in the high number of animals being surrendered and abandoned in south Simcoe County post-pandemic and to improve their living environment, as well as resume animal welfare programs and education for children and their families.”

ADHS is swamped with surrender requests as animals are being abandoned in unprecedented numbers. Many of these animals are in bad shape and require extensive medical care, rehabilitation and time to recover and move to a forever home.
We will be expanding off the north side of the building and we’ll be aiming to double our current footprint. We expect construction to begin on the project in the spring, 2024.
