Our Newest Impact Report is Here

Curious about where your support goes? See how your donations, volunteer hours, and gifts in kind are transforming lives for animals in our community.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Paint Your Pet!

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