Each year hundreds of healthy companion animals are “euthanized” at local Humane Societies, primarily due to a lack of funding and cages. The Animal Assistance Society believes that euthanizing healthy animals is neither a humane nor an effective form of controlling unwanted/abandoned animal populations. Alternatively, we hold that spay/neuter programs and encouragement of pet guardians to employ an indoor lifestyle for their cat, is the answer. The Animal Assistance Society has a “no kill” policy and helps to effectively reduce the burden on local Humane Societies through our Foster, PetSmart Adoption and Spay/Neuter iniatives.

The Animal Welfare Foundation of Canada receives donations and directs funds toward activities of national significance and to other important activities that are not likely to receive support from local or provincial sources. Such activities include humane education and research, the investigation and reporting of issues, and other promising initiatives. The principal function of the Foundation is to accept donations and legacies and to use those funds to support direct services and programs for animals in need, and innovative educational and research programs that help animals at the community, provincial and national levels. AWFC grants and programs are administered by an all-volunteer Board of Directors, composed of veterinarians, animal welfare scientists and other professionals who have broad experience of animal protection in Canada and in the evaluation of grant requests and project outcomes.

Since 1957, the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies (CFHS) has worked to unite and strengthen humane societies & SPCAs while advocating for the humane treatment of animals in our homes, on the farm, in the lab, and in the wild. The CFHS's member societies help animals in communities across Canada. The CFHS represents these members on issues of national importance, and provides them with information and advice to help them better serve animals in their communities. Over the decades, the CFHS has been at the forefront of efforts to reform Canada’s shamefully lax animal cruelty law, to create rules protecting farm animals from undue suffering, and to improve the treatment of animals used in research. The CFHS receives no government funding. It depends on the support of caring Canadians to continue promoting responsible pet ownership, fighting for effective laws to protect animals, and strengthening humane societies and SPCAs nationwide.
