Raising the Bar for Animal Welfare in Canada

Hamilton/Burlington SPCA Becomes One of Only Three Animal Welfare Organizations in Canada to Achieve Humane Canada Accreditation!

Unleash the Future of Animal Welfare

We’re building North America’s First Animal Welfare Hub to support every stage of the pet journey for millions of animals and the families who love them!

Less Fur, More Love: Win a Washer & Dryer!

We love our pets, but keeping pet hair off our clothes can feel like a never-ending battle. If you share your home with a dog or cat, you know the struggle, fur on sweaters, jackets, and just about everything else.
