Calgary Humane Society
Our Mission
At Calgary Humane Society, we exist to protect animals, support people, and create a more humane world. We believe in inclusive animal welfare, where every animal, every person, and every situation is welcome through our doors.
Our History and Community Impact
Since 1922, we have served as Calgary’s first and most robust animal welfare organization. We strive to be a true community hub, working to inspire empathy and compassion while supporting animal guardians through a variety of vital programs, including our Food Bank and emergency services.
Our Approach to Care
We are dedicated to nurturing the welfare of all animals with kindness and love, exploring all avenues of care to ensure their well-being remains at the core of every decision. While many of our adoptable animals can be viewed at our facility, some may be waiting for their forever homes within our supportive network of foster homes, as we continuously adapt our care to meet their individual needs.
The Joy of Adoption
Adoption is a beautiful, life-changing journey, and our conversation-based approach ensures we help you find the perfect match for your lifestyle. We are here to support you with education, behavior resources, and guidance so you can thrive as a pet owner. Every animal we care for has a unique story, and we are honored to help them write their next chapter with you.

Whether you are looking to adopt, volunteer, or access our community services, we invite you to be part of our mission. Visit us today to meet our adoptable animals, or explore our website to discover how you can help us create a world where animal lives are treated with respect and compassion.
