City Pound Dogs and Cats for Adoption in HRM Nova Scotia
The Homeward Bound City Pound is contracted by Halifax Regional Municipality to provide shelter for dogs that are in violation of the HRM by-law A-300 and critically injured cats that have been picked up by Animal Services. Along with providing a safe environment, our dedicated, professional animal care staff offer tender loving care and have the animals treated by a veterinarian as needed.
Animals that are not claimed within 72 hours are assessed for adoption to determine which type of home environment would be most suitable for them.

How to adopt a petWe have an online adoption application that can be filled out prior to selecting a pet and we also offer a waiting list for adopters that are looking for a particular type of pet. All of the dogs and cats will be spayed or neutered, vaccinated, de-wormed and micro-chipped prior to adoption. We occasionally have small animals and birds available for adoption as well. ADOPTION HOURS Monday through Friday 2pm-6pm Saturday and Sunday 12pm-3pm You’ve done your research and you’re ready to adopt a new pet into your home, or are you?
