SUMMARY:A community of caring\, loving\, and adopting people
DESCRIPTION:As these weeks and months have passed Toronto Humane Society has seen a significant increase in people looking to adopt. We are truly ecstatic about the local community taking an interest in sharing their life with a lovable pet that will enrich their lives just as much as they enrich theirs. We have received more than 2\,700 applications from the littlest hamster and mouse to our biggest dogs\, and everyone in between. We could not be happier to be connecting lives and strengthening the human-animal bond.  \n  We are going through the applications on a first-come\, first-serve basis\, and how we determine eligibility for adopting has not changed with our new processes. We are simply lucky enough to have so many people looking to offer a home to our animals! We’ve seen that animal shelters and rescues across Canada are facing the same scenario\, likely due to an increase in people with extra time at home due to physical distancing who have more time to integrate a new member into their family.  \n  Our current response time is sitting on average at around 3-4 weeks\, please note that it is likely that most animals thankfully already have their fur-ever homes lined up and waiting. Throughout this process however\, our animals that have greater needs from a medical or behavioural standpoint are still looking for that purr-fect match. Our agents are prioritizing review and application processing for them\, as they are in greater need of support. \n  If you’re interested in adopting from us\, we thank you for your understanding and patience as we work our way through the applications and continue to find forever families for our animals!

SUMMARY:Toronto Humane Society believes Black Lives Matter
DESCRIPTION:At Toronto Humane Society\, we strongly condemn all acts of racism including police brutality and racial profiling against the Black community. We recognize that this is not just an issue we see in the United States\, but one that exists globally and right here in our own backyard. Systemic racism will not be fixed by one organization or one voice\, it is going to take society to come together to make this change. The humane community we have been fighting for cannot exist so long as systemic racism does\, and up until now we have been structurally blind to its impact and effects on and within our organization. \n  Actions speak louder than words. \n  We are committing to combating systemic racism\, by first taking action within our organization. To initiate this process we have developed a plan that starts now: \n  1) Hire an employee/consultant who will help us create the foundation for a new Diversity\, Equity and Inclusion Committee at Toronto Humane Society. \n  2) Toronto Humane Society will launch a research project assessing our programs and services to discover who we are serving. This project will highlight gaps in our services and allow us to develop a plan of action on how we can reach the communities we are not currently supporting. \n  We recognize we have miles to go when it comes to improving our workplace environment but we are committed to taking action. We cannot take appropriate action on our own. We will need guidance from numerous sources. If\n you would like to further educate yourself on this movement here are some of the sources we are using: the Black Lives Matter website and other resources can be found here. \n \n  At Toronto Humane Society\, we believe Black Lives Matter.
