About the OHS

The Ottawa Humane Society is a non-profit, community-based organization and a registered charity. We have a volunteer Board of Directors, drawn from our supporters and the community at large. Since 1888, we have been the leading organization providing a safe haven for sick, injured and homeless animals in Ottawa. For more information, read about the history of the Society.

Poster Campaign

In response to the problems of pet overpopulation, the OHS has launched a poster campaign to promote animal sterilization and raise awareness about the plight of homeless cats in our community.

With the tag line of "real men neuter their dogs" the OHS hopes to debunk the myth that responsible animal ownership doesn’t include preventing unwanted litters. The second poster sheds light on the problem of cats running loose on the streets, where they are at risk of being hit by cars, and are vulnerable to disease and the elements.

The posters will be sent to local veterinary clinics and community centres with a goal of raising awareness about these issues, the repercussions of which we deal with on a daily basis.
