A Community of Kindness
At Calgary Humane Society, we see kindness in all forms. Whether you volunteer your time to walk a dog needing an escape from their kennel, read to a shy cat waiting to be adopted, or drop off items the shelter desperately needs, this kindness is how the Calgary Humane Society has existed for over 100 years.
We truly rely on the community's kindness to support the animals we care for. Without this support, we could not do what we do. Our goal is to connect people and animals, creating an unwavering bond that is a gateway to more meaningful lives. Any of our foster parents, volunteers or staff will tell you how important this bond is. Our animals simply want to be loved, and we promise the love they give in return is immeasurable. This is why our employees and volunteers show up each and every day. Our mission is strong. It is to help as many animals as we can and give them the life they deserve from the start. Every person should experience the companionship and true fulfillment that can only come from caring for and loving an animal.

2022 was a monumental year for Calgary Humane Society. We completed our Building Enhancement Project, celebrated 100 years as a Society and reopened after COVID. To say the last few years were difficult would be an understatement. But we adapted, planned, executed, and stood firm to our mission - the animals counted on us, and we were not going to let them down.
But we were not alone. The community donated and helped us finish the renovation, foster parents took animals in, volunteers stepped in and helped everywhere they could, adopters chose Calgary Humane to add in new family members, and our staff showed up each and every day to continue the work.
Everyone contributed to creating a community of kindness. So thank you. Thank you to everyone who has chosen to support Calgary Humane Society in any form.
Our ask is still ongoing. We have made it through some significant moments in time and some big projects, but there is so much more we can do and we continue to need your support.
Whether your child uses their Birthday Party to collect donations instead of gifts or you get your company to match your contribution, every little bit makes a difference to the vulnerable animals that we care for on a daily bases.
Thank you for thinking of us, donating, and making Calgary Humane your charity of choice.
