Community Programs

Investing in the bond between animals and people

GHS Cares helps people facing financial hardship, illness, or housing instability keep their pets through programs built on respect, dignity, and partnership.

Our programs

Three pillars of community care

Built with — not for — the families they serve, in partnership with the agencies who know them best.

Pet Food Bank

Free pet food, no questions asked

Distributed through 14 partner agencies in Guelph & Wellington — food, litter, and basic supplies for families who need them.

Vet Care Assistance

Subsidized urgent veterinary care

Helping families afford the unexpected — emergency surgeries, treatable illnesses, and end-of-life care.

Outreach

Pets and people, supported together

Wellness checks, foster placements during hospitalization, and gentle, judgment-free guidance for vulnerable seniors.
