Calgary Humane Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals

The Calgary Humane Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is a Canadian nonprofit organization dedicated to animal welfare and prevention of cruelty to animals. Incorporated in 1922, it is Calgary’s longest-established animal welfare organization, with a robust history of advocacy, sheltering, and community support for animals in need.

History and Mission

Originally established with a broader mandate to prevent cruelty to children, dependent persons, and animals within the City of Calgary, the organization soon focused exclusively on animal welfare. For over a century, the Calgary Humane Society has been committed to helping abused, neglected, and abandoned animals find safe, caring homes and a second chance at life.

The organization’s mission is succinctly stated as:
"Protect animals. Support people. Create a more humane world."

This mission reflects a dual commitment to the welfare of animals and the people who care for them, recognizing the interconnectedness of the human-animal bond in fostering compassionate communities.

Vision

The Society envisions an empowered community willing to advocate for animal welfare and a world where all animals are treated with respect, compassion, and afforded enriched lives. As leaders in animal welfare in Calgary, the organization embraces innovative strategies and partnerships to provide comprehensive support not only to animals but also to their human companions.

Services and Impact

Calgary Humane Society operates as Calgary’s only open-admission animal shelter, meaning it never turns away an animal in need. The organization provides shelter, medical care, and rehabilitation for animals of all kinds while also offering community programs that support families facing challenges maintaining the human-animal bond.

Key focus areas include:

  • Rescue and rehabilitation of abused, neglected, or abandoned animals
  • Education programs to promote responsible pet ownership and animal welfare
  • Support services for vulnerable populations, such as families fleeing domestic violence and senior citizens, to help retain their pets
  • Collaboration with community partners to enhance animal welfare and public awareness

The Society relies heavily on the dedication of its professional staff, volunteers, and foster families who provide compassionate care to animals and foster adoption efforts.

Leadership

Since 2014, Carrie Fritz has served as Executive Director, bringing a background in accounting and nonprofit management to the role. Under her leadership, the organization has strengthened its professional team and expanded its community impact, focusing on education and inspiring responsible pet ownership throughout Calgary.

Legacy and Community Role

With over 100 years of continuous service, the Calgary Humane Society stands as a pillar of animal welfare in Calgary. Its unwavering commitment to never turning away an animal and supporting the human-animal relationship has created tens of thousands of brighter futures for animals and the people who love them.
