The Canadian Union of Postal Workers issued a strike notice, which means disruptions to mail. To help animals in need this holiday season we encourage giving through online, phone, in person and e-transfer donations.

Graphic that reads "Home for the Holidays"

Imagine if every animal in our shelter had a home this holiday season.

The holiday season is a time of love, togetherness, and giving, and what better way to spread joy than by opening your heart and home to an animal in need. The most meaningful gift for an animal is a warm and loving home. Join Calgary Humane Society in our “Home for the Holidays” campaign and make this holiday season extra special by adopting, fostering or donating to support animals in our care.

Foster for the Holidays

Nursing cats, recovering dogs, or bunnies in need of space are all reasons why we look for foster homes! If now is not the time for you to adopt, consider opening your home up temporarily to a holiday foster animal.
