City of Toronto Animal Services East Region
A Heart for Every Animal
Toronto Animal Services is dedicated to providing compassionate care for homeless animals and connecting them with responsible, loving homes. We are here to support both our city's animals and the people who welcome them into their lives.
Our Commitment to the Community
As a vital part of the City of Toronto, we serve as a resource for animal welfare, from providing essential licensing and spay/neuter services to reuniting thousands of lost pets with their families each year. We believe that a strong community is one where animals and their guardians are both safe and supported through every stage of their journey together.
How We Care for Our Animals
We provide a safe, nurturing environment for stray and surrendered animals across our three city shelter locations. Our dedicated teams ensure every animal receives quality care, vaccinations, and the preparation they need to thrive in a new home. Through programs like our mobile and stationary spay/neuter clinics, we actively work to reduce pet overpopulation at its root cause.
Finding Your Perfect Companion
Adoption is a lifelong commitment, and we are here to help you find a partner who fits your lifestyle. Whether you are looking for a playful friend or a calm companion, we encourage you to consider the unique needs of the animals in our care. Our team is committed to making the adoption process a positive, transparent experience that celebrates the joy of bringing a new pet into your home.
