Etobicoke Humane Society

Etobicoke Humane Society EHS is an independent animal shelter for cats and dogs. As a federally registered charity, EHS operates entirely from donations and our own fundraising efforts.

To protect, care for and advance the welfare of animals

The Etobicoke Humane Society (EHS) is an independent, all-volunteer, federally registered charity serving the Greater Toronto Area since 1987. EHS began over 25 years ago as the Etobicoke Animal Welfare Society (EAWS) and subsequently became a registered charity, registered as the Etobicoke Humane Society. Our operations are not administered

by nor funded by the OSPCA, the Toronto Humane Society, the City of Toronto Animal Services nor any other organization. EHS operations are overseen by a volunteer board of directors. Everyone involved at EHS is a volunteer, including our board of directors, shelter volunteers, office volunteers and program coordinators. EHS has no paid employees. Our services are available for cats and dogs. We moved into our new, rented facility in April 2012, allowing us to offer on-site sheltering and adoption. Off-site fostering is also used to further expand our services for special needs animals. EHS does not euthanize any animal due to lack of space, taking in only those animals for which we have shelter or foster homes. Euthanasia is considered only in the rare instances when a vet determines that it would be the only humane alternative. Further, we do not allow any animal in our care to be used for research. We operate a variety of programs that enable us to achieve our mission, relying on the commitment of dedicated volunteers and supporters. If you would like to volunteer, donate or become a member, please take action by giving us a call or visit our Volunteers and Ways To Donate pages. Registered Charity . All donations of $20.00+ will receive a tax receipt.

Allie is a sweet, gentle, and snuggly senior girl looking for her forever home. She was returned to EHS when her human's health declined, and has been with us since January. Allie is delightful and cute. She occasionally grunts like an adorable ewok, and loves to keep to a schedule... bonus points if you are an early riser. Allie loves to play with catnip toys, and like many senior kitties she knows exactly what she wants: the quiet life, a home without small kids, and your love.

Do you have space in your life and heart for a perfect princess to enjoy her golden years?

Our summer 50/50 raffle was a huge success! Ticket sales closed on August 16, and our final jackpot reached $33,930. We want to congratulate Michael L., who had the winning ticket -31013 and is taking home $16,965!

We always appreciate your support, and want to thank everyone who bought a ticket, promoted the raffle on social media, and spread the word with their friends and family.
Fundraisers like this are important to our small shelter, as we use the proceeds to provide a safe landing spot for cats and dogs that are in need of a home of their own and a family to love them.

We’ll put our portion of the jackpot to good use, funding vet costs, our dog training program, the operating costs of the shelter and more.

We also want to once again congratulate our early bird prize winners, who took home cash prizes, Toronto Blue Jays tickets and an autographed baseball from Jays’ star, Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

If you’re looking for more ways to support our shelter, consider becoming a monthly donor, or make a one-time donation. As an all-volunteer organization, we’re able to use the funds we receive to care for our deserving shelter pets.

A friendly and social girl she loves hanging with people and greets everyone she meets with happy tail wags. We are recommending Daisy for an adult-only home with dog-experienced owners (preferably experienced with Bully or Mastiff breeds). Daisy needs to have what she is communicating listened to and understood.

Daisy is proof that the biggest dogs often have the most sensitive hearts 🤎

We’re already excited about what we’ll be able to do with our proceeds from the raffle, which will go straight to the care of our cats and dogs and the operation of the shelter. The funds will also allow us to continue bringing in new animals that need our help, giving them a second chance, or in the case of kittens born in our care, the best start in life.

Our Doggy back-to-school program is designed to set dogs who need a little extra care up for success.These dogs spend time at a training facility, where they live 24/7 under the care of an experienced dog trainer. This program comes with considerable costs to Etobicoke Humane Society.

Corona is one of those dogs who needed training to be ready to find his forever family. His time spent at a board-and-train setting gave us a chance to really get to know him, and we discovered he’s a genuine “good boy.” Now that he’s graduated from our program, he’s ready for adoption.

Corona is now looking for a person, a home, and a place to finally belong. Your support allows us to continue to care for him, and all of our other deserving pets.

Find out all the details of our 50/50 draw and buy your tickets early and buy often to grow the cash prize! The raffle ends August 16 at 6 p.m. Eastern Time. https://rafflebox.ca/raffle/ehs/
