The Hope for Wildlife Society, Homeward Bound City Pound, and independent
animal welfare workers joined resources to remove more than 75 animals from a Nova Scotia home.

With the rescue and rehabilitation efforts of Hope for Wildlife, and the adoption expertise of the Homeward Bound City Pound, each of these pets will be in good hands while they find their forever home.

Working together with staff and volunteers more than 60 birds; including finches, lovebirds, conure parrots, and more, 13 guinea pigs, and 2 hamsters were transported from the home to receive medical care.

New homes will be found for all the animals once they are checked by a veterinarian.Hope Swinimer, of the Hope for Wildlife Society and Homeward Bound City Pound says that help from
the public will be integral to this process.

“With help from the community, we will be able to find happy, healthy homes for these animals”, Swinimer reminds the public “even if you are not able to take in a pet, everyone can work together through word of mouth and social media to find appropriate homes for
these animals.”

As they become medically cleared, the “adoptables” will be posted to Homeward Bound City Pound’s
website at http://citypound.ca/adopt/.

If you or someone you know are looking to add to your family, please visit the website, or stop by 201 Brownlow Avenue Unit 9 between 12pm-4pm, seven days a week.
