About us
Our name reflects our vision − a Humane Canada − and that vision is shared by Canadians from coast- to-coast-to coast. Humane Canada believes that all animals possess intrinsic value, remarkable complexity and inherent dignity, and as such are deserving of respect and moral concern. On behalf of members, we advocate for the humane treatment, care and protection of all animals. We promote the concept that all animals used by humans be provided with high levels of care to ensure their health and comfort and that their behavioural needs are met. We also advocate for habitat protection and enhancement for the well-being of animals in the wild. Founded in 1957, since then we’ve earned our solid reputation and enviable credibility as the ‘go-to’ national voice on animal welfare issues for industry, media, government, non-governmental organizations and the public. We work collaboratively and cooperatively with key stakeholders based on the premise that we can have a greater impact creating positive change by being a part of the process instead of being apart from it. We drive positive, progressive change nationally to elevate animal welfare, end animal cruelty and improve animal protection through the enactment of effective legislation. We provide leadership on animal welfare issues and ensure these crucial messages are heard and understood across Canada. Humane Canada is accredited by Imagine Canada, representing the highest level of excellence in non-profit accountability, transparency and governance. Learn more about us at www.humanecanada.ca.

Happy National Black Cat Day! 🖤🐈🖤 Black cats deserve some extra love due to their unfair and unearned reputation of being “unlucky” or “a bad omen”. This is completely untrue and as a reminder, black cats are just as sweet and lovable as our other feline friends. Today is the perfect opportunity to show our love to this iconic animal. If you have a black cat, be sure to share their name or picture in the comments to spread some joy!

Happy Sunday! We’re here to brighten your morning with this past week’s best animal welfare news ☕ A Yukon woman’s beloved dog, Midnight, was reunited with her after an astonishing 10-day journey spanning 10,000 kilometers all the way to the Arizona desert and back. Midnight’s adventure took an unexpected turn when she found herself in the care of a stranger who took her along on his trip home. Thanks to her microchip, when the stranger brought Midnight to a vet, her identity was revealed, leading to a joyous reunion with her guardian! This incredible story serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of microchipping your pets. A microchip can be a lifesaver, providing a reliable way to identify lost pets and ensuring they find their way back home. 🐾❤️
