Calgary Humane Society

At Calgary Humane Society, we exist to create a more humane world – when animals are at their most vulnerable, our dedicated care sees them through.  We are always there to protect and nurture the welfare of all animals with kindness and love, and in turn, animals remind us every day what it truly means to be human.   

We believe in inclusive animal welfare—every animal, every person, and every situation are welcome through our doors. 

We explore all avenues of care until the very end, with animal wellbeing at the core of every decision.  We support people and their animals, for life.   

The joy of adoption; the rewards of behaviour classes; the relief that is felt knowing we are here for every animal who needs us…our team is there in good times and bad.  When animals need protection, we respond.  We’ll never shy away from a tough situation—even if it takes an emotional toll.  Our work for animal welfare is unending.  

Our dreams for the future are rooted in education and prevention.   

We’re a true community hub for countless Calgarians.  Our voice has power.  It’s our responsibility to inspire empathy and compassion for both animals and humans.   

For over 100 years, Calgary Humane Society has been at the centre of animal welfare in our city and for every day to come, we’ll work harder than ever to create a world where animal lives are treated with respect and compassion which translates into more compassion for others in our community.
