City of Toronto Animal Services West Region

Our Mission

Toronto Animal Services is dedicated to providing quality care for homeless, sick, or injured animals while striving to find them responsible, loving, forever homes. We are committed to being a leader in animal welfare by ensuring every companion animal receives the compassion and respect they deserve.

Why We Are Here

Every year, we reunite thousands of lost pets with their guardians and facilitate thousands of successful adoptions across our city. We believe that by providing vaccinations, microchips, and spay/neuter services, we create a healthier, safer community for both pets and their people.

How We Care

We operate three dedicated animal shelters in Toronto where our staff provides medical intervention, rehabilitation, and compassionate care for animals in need. We believe in life-saving principles, working collaboratively with rescue groups and coalitions to ensure that every healthy, treatable, or manageable animal has the opportunity to thrive.

Finding Your Perfect Match

Adopting a pet is a joyful, life-long partnership that enriches both your home and our community. We encourage prospective adopters to consider their unique lifestyle and needs, ensuring that each transition is a success for both the animal and the family. Our team is here to support you throughout the selection process so you can find a companion who truly fits your life.
