International Day of Charity, celebrated on September 5th, is a global call to action, encouraging people to contribute to causes that matter. At Toronto Humane Society, this day is a powerful reminder of the ongoing need to support our mission of improving the lives of animals in our community. Whether you’re a long-time supporter or new to our cause, there are many ways you can make a difference. 

Make a Donation

The simplest and most direct way to support Toronto Humane Society is by donating. Your financial contributions go a long way in providing food, medical care, and shelter to the animals in our care. Donations also help fund our vital programs like Public Veterinary Services, the Urgent Carr program, and community support initiatives. No amount is too small—every dollar helps us save lives.  

Participate in Fundraising Events

Throughout the year, Toronto Humane Society hosts various fundraising events that you can participate in or even organize your own! From marathons to bake sales, there are many creative ways to raise funds for the animals. On September 21st, we are hosting our largest fundraising event of the year – Paws in the Park Presented by Amazon. Your attendance helps us raise crucial funds that help animals in our community. 

Become a Large Dog Foster Parent

Open your heart and home by becoming a large dog foster parent. Fostering a large dog is a rewarding way to support Toronto Humane Society by providing a temporary, loving environment for dogs in need. Your care helps them thrive while they await their forever homes, making a significant impact on their lives and easing the strain on our shelter resources. If you have the space and time, consider fostering a large dog and be part of their journey to a brighter future. 

Donate Items

We’re always in need of supplies to keep our operations running smoothly. Donating items like pet food and pet supplies helps us provide a comfortable and enriching environment for the animals. You can check our Amazon wishlist online to see what items are currently needed. 

Shop with a Purpose

Shop online for clothing and accessories or visit us at 11 River Street to purchase pet supplies. Every purchase directly supports our work, helping us provide care and services to animals in need.  

Spread the Word

One of the easiest ways to support Toronto Humane Society is by spreading the word about our mission. Share our social media posts, tell your friends and family about our work, or even host an awareness event in your community. The more people who know about our cause, the more support we can gather to help animals in need. 

Together, we can ensure that every animal has a chance to find their forever home and live a life filled with love and care. Thank you for being a part of our community and for helping us create a better world for animals.
