Ways to get involved with the Ontario SPCA and Humane Society
For over 150 years, the Ontario SPCA and Humane Society has been providing care, comfort, and compassion to animals in need across Ontario’s communities.
As a registered charity that does not receive annual government funding, we depend on our generous supporters to provide programs and services to help animals in need. Today we are highlighting the top ways you can get involved to make a difference in the lives of animals in your community.

When you think about your life’s purpose, the difference you’ve made, and how you can leave the world a better place, do you think about your love for animals? If so, a gift in your will to the Ontario SPCA might be part of your legacy. When you remember the Ontario SPCA with a gift in your will, you can continue to change the lives of animals long after you’re gone.
