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.

Sweet, Well-mannered, Friendly 🍯 + 😇 + 🐶

Wylie is a well-mannered boy who walks well on a loose leash and takes the world in stride. He gets along well with other pets, if his adopter already has a dog or cat, we will arrange for a meet and greet. Wylie has a condition called diabetes insipidus, but don't let the name scare you! Managing it is easy—with one eye drop daily and Wylie enjoys life just like any other dog. The medication costs $115 a month.

Visit Etobicoke Humane Society to learn more about Wylie.

Congratulations are in order for Lily and her new family!

Her adopter shares that
“She is continuing to settle in and adjust to her new home…She can be a bit reactive, but she has been warming up to us more and more every day…Thank you all so much for everything you do.”

Shy or reactive cats like Lily may require some extra patience and understanding, but they are so worth the effort! We’re so happy that Lily was able to find a perfect match, and we hope she’s loving her new life! 😊

Kitten season is showing no sign of stopping this year and we could use your help! Can you contribute to our Fall Kitten Fund?
Since we held our Kitten Shower fundraiser back in May, we’ve taken in about 50 new kittens, and currently have 41 in our care, including 5-month-old Miguel, who’s looking for a family to call his own. Sounds like cuteness overload, but it’s an expensive situation, as we usually see a slow down in kittens by this time of year. It’s an indication of a bigger problem, as animal rescues in the GTA are seeing an overpopulation of cats. Day 2 Instagram Kittens and their moms come with costs for food, health checks, vaccinations, and spays or neuters. This can add up quickly.
Donate to our Kitten Fund today to help these tiny fluffballs get the best start in life:
https://etobicokehumanesociety.com/blog/2026-fall-kitten-fundraiser/
We’re also urging cat owners to have their cats spayed or neutered to prevent unexpected litters from contributing to the overpopulation situation.

Butter (formerly Tiki) has settled into her new family very well! She is affectionate, nosy, clumsy, stubborn, and very much a giant baby.

She and her new brother Moose have become really close - they play together, sleep together and go on lots of walks and adventures, she has learned so much from following his lead.

Her new family says "It’s our first experience adopting from a shelter and we can see how her personality has opened up as she decompressed. Thank you again for taking care of her before she joined our family"

Dolly joined EHS this week. A Shepherd/Husky mix is our guess, a 'Shepsky' if you will! She'll be spayed over the next few weeks and we'll get to know her better, she's got a pretty special name and we think she's a pretty special girl too!

Supercat, Assistant, Morale Booster, Cheerleader, Your New Bestie: Raven has it all! Affectionate, sweet, entertaining, active, Raven is an absolute delight. Known for her diligence in following her foster mom around as a Personal Assistant, what Raven lacks in the doing of any actual work, she more than makes up for with personality, good looks, and charm.

Raven has a rare congenital heart condition, which is likely to shorten her life, but she is currently in good health and takes her meds easily. Though Raven is quite active, she needs an adopter who can make sure she doesn't get too overstimulated, and who can carefully monitor her health with close attention, and regular vet visits.

We are thrilled to recognize Raven's extensive contributions to good moods and positive vibes, and welcome the most loving, attentive, and calm folks to step forward as potential adopters. Raven deserves only the very best! Is it you?

Learn more about Raven, and all of our hard-working animals, on our website: etobicokehumanesociety.com
