Our Mission statement
The Guelph Humane Society’s mission is to promote the welfare of all animals
and prevent cruelty and suffering.

Welcome to the Guelph Humane Society!

The Guelph Humane Society (GHS) has been sheltering and rescuing animals in the Guelph/ Wellington Communities since 1893. Each year the GHS cares for approximately 3000 animals in need. Not only do we provide animal sheltering and adoption services but also provide regular veterinary care and have a progressive spay/ neuter program in place.

The society delivers a comprehensive Humane Education Program to community schools, to youth groups and clubs as well as right here at the shelter. Visit our "Just For Kids" section for more information.

The GHS enforces the OSPCA Act investigating animal cruelty and care concerns in the Guelph and Wellington County and handles animal related by law enforcement and licensing services in the City of Guelph.

The Guelph Humane Society is a registered charitable organization; it does not receive any government funding and exists solely on private funding and public donations.

TIP OF THE MONTH
With an ever expanding community and an increase in public concerns about coyote sightings, we would like to remind pet owners of the importance of keeping cats indoors and dogs safely supervised. Coyotes are primarily nocturnal, but can often be seen in daylight hours from late January to late March, which is mating season for coyotes. For more information on how to live with and enjoy wildlife responsibly please visit Ministry of Natural Resources at www.mnr.gov.on.ca
