In today&#8217;s world, animals are among the most vulnerable beings, making it our mission to help protect them. The society is dedicated to safeguarding and caring for the welfare of all animals in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For over 100 years, the society has been the hub for animal welfare in Calgary. Every day, the team strives to work harder to create a world where all animals are treated with respect and compassion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_the_Society_Does\"><\/span>What the Society Does<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The society aims to create an inclusive world for animals. If you adopt an animal from the shelter, the team will support you throughout the entire journey. They are there for you even in difficult situations that are emotionally demanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The society&#8217;s website also features a database of lost cats and dogs in the city. If you&#8217;ve lost your beloved pet, be sure to check the site for any information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, the Calgary Humane Society offers a wealth of educational and training resources to help pet guardians. Here, you&#8217;ll get all the necessary tools to deepen your understanding of animal behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, they also offer dog training classes. These sessions help foster a positive relationship between you and your furry friend. Whether you&#8217;re working on basic commands or addressing specific behavioural issues, the centre has a course suited for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Adopt_a_Pet\"><\/span>How to Adopt a Pet<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"816\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.calgary-name.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/39\/2025\/09\/image-12.png\" alt=\"A person gently holding a small, fluffy white puppy.\" class=\"wp-image-4614\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.calgary-name.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/39\/2025\/09\/image-12.png 1600w, https:\/\/cdn.calgary-name.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/39\/2025\/09\/image-12-300x153.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.calgary-name.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/39\/2025\/09\/image-12-768x392.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.calgary-name.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/39\/2025\/09\/image-12-1536x783.png 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.calgary-name.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/39\/2025\/09\/image-12-696x355.png 696w, https:\/\/cdn.calgary-name.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/39\/2025\/09\/image-12-1068x545.png 1068w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Adopting an animal from the society&#8217;s shelter involves a few key steps. The first step is to browse the available animals. You can view them all online and even read each animal&#8217;s biography, which includes complete information about their personality and medical history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second step is to visit the centre. It&#8217;s best to schedule a visit and book an appointment in advance. Without one, you may have to wait. The list of available animals changes daily, so be sure to check in the morning to see if the pet you&#8217;re interested in has already been adopted. It&#8217;s also a good idea to come in the morning or early afternoon, as the animals on your list might find a home before you get a chance to meet them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The third step is preparation. The society helps you get ready for this important new chapter in your life. They will talk with you, explain each pet&#8217;s specific care needs, and make you aware of all potential challenges. For example, the average annual cost of owning a dog in Canada is $4,000, while a cat is around $2,500.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_Do_If_You_Witness_Animal_Cruelty\"><\/span>What to Do If You Witness Animal Cruelty<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you witness an act of physical violence against an animal, you should contact the Calgary Humane Society. If it&#8217;s after the society&#8217;s business hours, you can report it directly to the Calgary Police Service by calling 911. It is crucial to report the incident as soon as possible after witnessing the offense. Cruelty also includes neglect, such as inadequate food, lack of shelter, untreated injuries, or failure to provide veterinary care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The society accepts anonymous tips, but please be aware that your identity may need to be disclosed if a search warrant is required or if charges are laid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Calgary Humane Society is one of the city&#8217;s most vital organizations, working every day to make life safer for animals.
