If you’ve been thinking about joining us for the Wiggle Waggle Walk & Run, this is your sign.
Online registration closes Sunday, Sept. 20. There are only a few days left to join Ottawa’s biggest event for the animals at the Ottawa Humane Society.
Since June, we have taken in an average of 21 cats daily. That’s 21 new cats who need shelter, care and love — this is alongside the dogs, small animals and wildlife who are also arriving every single day. Right now, we are providing daily shelter and care for more than 400 animals.
My family said goodbye to our beloved dog this weekend. At 15, Dixie had been part of our pack for well over a decade. She was my daughters’ first dog, who they ecstatically adopted from the OHS in grade school. Dixie was some kind of Shih Tzu crossed with something bigger and scruffier, and she saw the girls through tough days at high school and kept them company during COVID years.
We are only halfway through 2026, and your compassion and advocacy have already helped secure major victories for animals across Ontario, proving that when people raise their voices for animals, meaningful change follows.
The Ottawa Humane Society is an open-admission animal shelter, which means we never turn away an animal in need, regardless of age, injury, illness or behavioural challenges.
As I write this, I can’t stop thinking about how close some pets are to losing a home where they are loved.
At the OHS, we help people who are doing everything they can to take care of their pet. They are stretching dollars, skipping meals and making devastating choices just to keep their pets safe and cared for.
