Chartered in 1953, Simcoe and District Humane Society volunteers have helped animals in and around Norfolk County. SDHS is a non-profit, charitable organization relying on fundraising activities and donations from members of community. Volunteers look after every aspect of the Society including daily operations and working hands on with the animals from intake to adoption.

The Moncton SPCA is the largest animal shelter east of Montreal. Each year, we handle approximately 7,000 animals.

We help wildlife that flies, hops, crawls and flutters in Stanley Park by directly tackling their habitat needs through habitat restoration, monitoring and conservation action as well as by providing scientific information that help Park managers create better management plans. But we don’t stop there. Every year, we give over 20,000 children and adults opportunities for learning about nature on their doorstep through our weekly public events, school programs, Young Naturalist’s Club or by visiting the Stanley Park Nature House on Lost Lagoon, Vancouver’s only ecology centre. Through our popular volunteering program, more than 1,200 locals learn new skills, improve their CV and meet like-minded people every year. With your help, we can help wildlife and nature flourish in Stanley Park and share our knowledge and enthusiasm to help young and old enjoy the natural world.

The Canadian S.P.C.A. is the oldest humane organisation in Canada. Since it's creation in 1869, it has helped save thousands of animals yearly. With an average of over 18,000 adoptions a year, it is the busiest shelter in Canada and, unfortunately, the one with the smallest budget when prorated. Quebec being the only province with no Animal Welfare Law, we are fighting to implement such a law which will help in reducing the number of puppy mills in Quebec (over 1500).

The Peterborough Humane Society, a registered charitable organization dependent on public donations, was established in 1941. As an Affiliated Society of the OSPCA, with the mandate to facilitate and provide for the prevention of cruelty to animals and their relief therefrom, our Humane Society offers a wide range of vital services to the community. Working in cooperation with many agencies and departments we continue promoting responsible pet ownership concepts through community outreach, one-on-one encounters with residents and the use of legal action as the last resort. Approximately 1,500 animals are received at the shelter each year, many of which are lost, injured or abandoned. While in our care they are provided with food, care, shelter and lots of love and attention. We speak for those who cannot speak for themselves. The Peterborough Humane Society is grateful to our supporters, staff, and volunteers for their wonderful support and dedication.

The Burlington Humane Society is a no-kill animal shelter for cat and dogs operating in Burlington, Ontario. Funding for support services for abandoned animals comes from the generosity of donors, adoption fees and from the proceeds of a second hand store we operate. With a staff and board of volunteers, we are looking to expand our operations with a new building to address the growing demands of the Burlington community.

The Lillian Allbon Animal Shelter is an independent organization that takes in and finds homes for abused, abandoned and unwanted dogs and cats. We are a no-kill shelter, which means that once an animal comes into our care, we will keep it until we find it a good home. We only euthanize animals that have serious behaviour or health issues.

Founded in 1945, the Toronto Vegetarian Association (TVA) is the largest vegetarian organization in Canada. Our biggest projects include coordinating Toronto's annual Vegetarian Food Fair, producing our annual Vegetarian Directory, updating a comprehensive vegetarian resource website (www.veg.ca), hosting a free drop-in Resource Centre, and running The Veggie Challenge. All of our programs have the following objectives: (1) To educate the general public about the benefits of appropriately planned vegetarian diets in an open and non-judgmental way; and (2) To encourage and support those who choose a vegetarian lifestyle as well as those who choose to reduce their consumption of animal products by providing resources and a sense of friendly community. Your support helps us meet these objectives.

The Winnipeg Humane Society (WHS) is a non-profit, volunteer-based organization that handles over 8,000 animals each year. Without the generous support from the community, WHS could not shelter, feed and provide medical assistance to the thousands of lost and abandoned animals that pass through its doors, nor strive to educate and support the community through a variety of programs directed to children, teens and adults, including, obedience classes, spring and summer camps for kids, youth at risk programs, pet therapy to senior complexes, as well as educational workshops such as what to consider when adopting a family pet. In addition, WHS works to combat pet overpopulation with SNAP – a subsidized spay and neuter program, for those living on fixed incomes or social assistance, along with other community outreach initiatives.
