Ways to help

These Extraordinary Times require us to be Extraordinary People.  Helpless or abandoned cats and dogs still need your help. Our pet friends are affected by the current crisis just as we all are impacted. We are still saving animals, providing medical treatment and food to the animals under our care but the need exceeds our resources and ability to help.  Our all volunteer organization is still operating even as many of us are off from work. Even though we are a local Humane Society we do not have a shelter. We are still doing adoptions and intake of animals as we have space to provide for the animal.

There are different ways to help:
- Make a financial donation if you can. We understand many cannot give financially at this time but you can give of your time and volunteer.
- We need volunteers from all walks of life.  Delivery drivers, data entry people, law clerks, people to answer the phone, write a letter, people who can help with social media and website design and maintenance.  We have many jobs that can be done with little or no physical contact with others thereby maintaining our social distancing measures.  Please consider donating some of your time.  If you have questions please call us at 905-271-0883 and leave a message or ask your questions at info@mississaugahumanesociety.com.

Please help the Mississauga Humane Society 

Mississauga Humane Society's COVID-19 Response

The Mississauga Humane Society is an all-volunteer, not for profit registered charity.  Our Mission is to promote animal welfare through education and to find each of our rescue dogs and cats a forever home.

1. We have greatly reduced our intake to strictly kitten intake; and have reduced our adoptions to a minimum.

2. Any work on behalf of Mississauga Humane Society that a volunteer does that involves contact with people outside their immediate home environment must have board approval.

3. All volunteers engaging in any work for the Mississauga Humane Society must wear a mask and gloves and maintain social distancing guidelines as outlined by the health ministry when having any contact with people outside their immediate home environment.

4. Any volunteer who feels ill must self-isolate and contact their primary doctor or local health officials.  They must also tell anyone with whom they have contact. Fosters who need assistance must contact MHS by email at info@mississaugahumanesociety.com  or by phone at 905-271-0883.  Fosters must have a current Foster Waiver Form on record with MHS to receive assistance.

Also, all of our upcoming events have been cancelled except for the Mississauga Marathon which is happening on September 19th. Join our team for a 5km walk or run. Bingo Rama Mississauga has been cancelled until further notice. Till then, please wash those paws and spend more time snuggling your pets.

Mississauga Humane Society (MHS) advocates and cares for companion animals who have been neglected, discarded, given up, and abandoned, who seek shelter, basic necessities, and a second chance at life. We serve the city of Mississauga, and beyond to create a network of foster homes, volunteers, and community education programs to reduce the suffering of animals and improve the overall quality of life that companion animals have. We advocate for better laws, educate the public on behaviour and vet care, and we take in and provide refuge for animals in need.
