The Ottawa Humane Society is a non-profit, community-based organization and a registered charity. We have a volunteer board of directors, drawn from our supporters and the community at large. Since 1888, we have been the leading organization providing a safe haven for sick, injured and homeless animals in Ottawa.

Each year, we care for more than 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.
