Still Waiting...Still Worth It

Some of our animals have been with us longer than most - but that doesn't make them any less amazing. Meet the residents who are ready to show you just how much love they have to give.

Paint Your Pet!

Create a Paw-trait you'll treasure for years at our next Paint Your Pet Class. No experience needed!

Every Animal. Outside. At The Same Time.

Imagine a shelter where every cat has their own catio and every dog has outdoor access - every single day, all at the same time. That's what our Unleash Love campaign is building.

Say I Do. Help Animals Too.

Make your wedding day even more meaningful by supporting animals in need. Whether you donate in lieu of favours or invite guests to give in your honour, the HBSPCA Wedding Celebration Program makes it simple and heartfelt.

Shop For Your Pet. Help Another.

Pet Thrift by the HBSPCA offers quality toys, treats, crates, and everyday essentials for cats and dogs - all at affordable prices. Every purchase goes directly back into the care and programs our animals depend on.
