About Us:
Etobicoke Humane Society is a dedicated non-profit committed to care for dogs and cats who are looking for forever homes. We are a small shelter with a big heart, with space in our shelter for approximately 30 to 40 cats and nine dogs. We also rely on foster homes to expand our capacity. EHS does not euthanize any animal due to lack of space. Euthanasia is only considered in the rare instances when a vet determines that it would be the only humane alternative. We are completely dedicated to the well-being of our animals and take extra steps to ensure they receive the care they need. This includes veterinary care and special training for animals with behavioural issues. For dogs, this can include spending time at a training facility where they have access to one-on-one time with expert trainers. Every dollar we raise goes directly into animal care and operations. We do not receive government funding and rely solely on the financial donations and continued support from our community and supporters.
