This post is focused on
sanctuaries mainly for animals that aren’t conventionally
seen as “pets” because, while there is a fair bit of attention on saving animals like cats and dogs,
often times other animals' welfare is treated as less valuable. That being said, there are a lot of amazing people
in the area that commit so much money, time and energy to create homes for all kinds of
animals. If you want to support a sanctuary you can help by donating or volunteering. Many sanctuaries even welcome visitors, so you can have the very rewarding experience of meeting the lucky animals.
I would love to make this a growing resource so if you know of other animal sanctuaries in the area please let me know!
But without further a due here is a
rough round-up of some animal sanctuaries near Hamilton.
