About Calgary Humane Society
Calgary Humane Society is a longstanding animal welfare organization dedicated to rescuing, protecting, and rehoming animals in need. Operating the only open-admission animal shelter in Calgary, it accepts every animal brought to its doors, regardless of health, behavior, or breed. Beyond shelter and adoption services, Calgary Humane Society plays a vital role in animal protection through its Humane Investigations team, working closely with law enforcement to uphold animal cruelty legislation.
The organization also offers public education, pet training, and community support programs to foster responsible pet ownership and improve animal welfare. With a mission to help as many animals as possible, Calgary Humane Society focuses on both emergency response and long-term solutions to reduce animal suffering and homelessness. Its inclusive and compassionate approach makes it a key resource for animals and their human companions across the region.
