Emergency Boarding

The Humane Society of East West Veterinary Outreach is proud to offer an Emergency Boarding Program in partnership with various social agencies and emergency services in Waterloo Region and Perth County. This program offers pet owners short-term housing for their pet(s) when experiencing a personal emergency or crisis.

Through this program, individuals or families working with these agencies can access emergency boarding services for their pets for a temporary period. Our partnership referral agencies include:

• Social agencies
• Family and Children Services
• Police, fire and EMS services
• Homeless Shelters
• Women's shelters
• Emergency response services
• Disaster response teams
• Hospitals

If an individual has family or friends that can assist them, we ask that they exhaust all options (boarding kennel, vet clinic boarding, friend or family care for the pet etc.) before admittance into this program will be considered.
