Help The Animals
You can provide a safe haven for animals with nowhere else to turn. Your donation today will rescue, reunite and rehome a vulnerable animal. Thank you for making second chances possible.
We care about Ottawa's animals
Each year, we care for close to 8,000 sick, injured and homeless animals, providing leadership in animal welfare to help build a compassionate community and a brighter future for our community.
Land Acknowledgement
The Ottawa Humane Society’s facilities are located on the traditional unceded territory of the Anishinaabe Algonquin People. We are grateful to have the opportunity to work and be present on this territory. As a humane society, we embrace our responsibility to care for our community’s animals and foster compassion and respect for all.
