Join Us This #GivingTuesday UPDATE: This #GivingTuesdayCA we asked you to help us raise $30,000 for animals in need, and thanks to you, we more than TRIPLED our goal! With your support, and the help of our friends at Champion Petfoods and the Edmonton Community Foundation, we raised over $105,000. Incredible! Your support on #GivingTuesday - and every day - helps keep homeless animals safe and warm, brings joy to the families who adopt them, and supports the human-animal bond. We are incredibly grateful for your generosity and kindness. THANK YOU! This upcoming Tuesday, November 30, the Edmonton Humane Society is joining the global #GivingTuesday movement. On this day only, your gift will have triple the impact, thanks to generous matching donations from our friends at Champion Petfoods and the Edmonton Community Foundation (ECF). Every $1 donated on Tuesday, November 30 will become $3, with both Champion Petfoods and ECF matching all gifts up to $10,000. That means your $10 becomes $30, $100 becomes $300, and $500 becomes $1,500... ...we can raise $30,000 in a single day to enrich the lives of people and pets! Each and every day homeless, neglected and abandoned companion animals enter our doors in need of a warm, safe space and compassionate care [...]

It's the purrrrfect time to bring home a feline friend! The spring and summer months are always our busiest time of year, as we see an increase in the numbers of kittens and cats coming into care. To help these felines find their forever homes, ALL cats and kittens at our shelter are available to adopt BY DONATION from now until July 31st, and you choose the amount! Please note that potential adopters will still be required to go through EHS’ regular adoption process. The adoption special will apply only to cats available at the shelter, and not those who are at off-site adoption locations. All cats and kittens adopted from EHS come already spayed or neutered, with their first set of vaccinations, a medical check, and one free exam at participating vet clinics within ten days of the adoption. Our adoption gallery is open Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 12 to 7 p.m., Wednesdays from 2 to 7 p .m. , and Saturdays and Sundays from 12 to 5 p.m. Click Here To View Adoptable Cats & Kittens Learn More About The Adoption Process

Before You Adopt A pet is a big commitment. Before anyone adopts, we encourage you to take some considerable time to discuss the commitment with your family, and research what type of pet would best fit your home and lifestyle. Some questions we recommend discussing with your family are: What type of pet would best fit our home and lifestyle? How long will this type of pet live? What are this animal’s needs for food, water, shelter, enrichment and veterinary care? Many of these species have specialized care and veterinary needs, which can be expensive. Do we have the space, supplies, time and resources to ensure it gets the care it needs? Will we have the time and resources to care for [...]
