By connecting people and animals, Calgary Humane Society helps to build an unwavering bond that is a gateway for more meaningful lives. An animals second chance starts with us, and we are committed to finding the right person for each animal. Our mission is to help as many animals as we can and give them the life they deserved from the start. Our goal is to provide every person with the experience of companionship and true fulfillment that can only come from caring for an animal.
We are a hub for all animals in needany animal, under any circumstances. Beyond adoptions, we support animal welfare in Calgary through education, outreach, emergency vet services for surrendered animals, behaviour training for those in need, and our unique ability to enforce the Animal Protection Act.
We dream of a community where all animals are valued, humanely treated, and live enriched lives. Calgary Humane Society is committed to creating a better tomorrow through compassion and collaboration.
Calgary Humane Society's annual Dog Jog, a walk or jog to help end animal cruelty, helps raise crucial funding to support life-saving programs focused on education, protection, rehabilitation and ultimately, a new beginning for animals in need.
Dog Jog is a family and fido-friendly, non-competitive walk or jog fundraiser that raises awareness and funds for the thousands of animals Calgary Humane Society protects and cares for each year. Join us on June 3rd, 2023 at NORTH Glenmore Park and the path along the Reservoir for a 2.5 km or 5 km walk or jog. Once your walk is complete, you and your family are encouraged to spend the day with us to celebrate your fundraising accomplishments. Our outdoor festival includes a dog-friendly beer garden, food trucks, a kids zone, bouncy castles, agility course and so much more!
By participating in Dog Jog, your fundraising efforts help fund programs that are focused on ending animal cruelty.
Calgary Humane Society is the only organization in Calgary mandated to enforce the Animal Protection Act of Alberta.
In 2022, Calgary Humane Society Peace Officers investigated 1195 cases of animal cruelty, and we were able to save 891 animals from situations of abuse and neglect.
By supporting Dog Jog, you ensure our teams stay active in the community and all animals receive the love and care that they so deserve.
