I understand that Mississauga Humane Society is a donation based organization with no government assistance and relies entirely on the community for support.

As a ADOPTIVE PARENT, this means I understand there is an adoption FEE to be paid.

As a FOSTER PARENT, this means we strive to provide supplies for the animal while in your care, but cannot guarantee items like toys, treats, beds, etc will be readily available and may be required to purchase yourself.
