We Raised $26,000 for EHS! In June and July, we challenged our supporters to get moving and raise funds for EHS with our Get Your Move on campaign. Like a virtual walk-a-thon, participants raised money in exchange for doing any type of exercise they chose. We want to thank everyone who took part, as well […]
Help An Animal In Need We are in need of foster homes for both cats and dogs. Summer can be a difficult time for finding foster homes as many people are going away on vacations and can’t commit to caring for an animal. But it’s still a busy time for us as we continue taking […]
Buddy and Tascha Buddy and Tascha are both friendly German Shepherd dogs but their temperaments and adoption criteria are very different. Buddy is chill and easy going. Happy to lie beside you while you work or to go on easy walks in the ravines. He would transition easily into family life. Tascha is less familiar […]
Haze Haze is a Tabby who thinks she's a Tortie...and sometimes has the 'tude to match! She has been through significant turmoil in her life, and is looking for a true cat lover who appreciates her many moods and is willing to offer her a forever home. She is comfortable and curious around visitors, and […]
Get Your Move On and help raise funds for the Etobicoke Humane Society! Our Leashes by the Lake event was a staple for EHS, but since we can’t hold our annual walk-a-thon, we want you to join this virtual fundraising event and get active to support the care of our cats and dogs. It’s super […]

As restrictions continue due to the pandemic, you may not be able to get your cat to the vet for a nail trim. Keeping your cat’s nails trimmed is important as it prevents them from getting snagged on carpets, blankets, or clothing. If you’re considering tackling the task yourself, here are a few tips to […]
EHS is a no-kill shelter, which means we will never euthanize a pet for lack of space. It also means we’re determined to go the extra mile to find homes for all of our pets, no matter how long that takes. Sometimes we have animals in our care that need to find a special home […]
Monthly donations are extremely important to us as we operate entirely from fundraising and donations. We receive no government funding and we aren’t associated with any other large animal rescue groups (such as Toronto Humane Society or OSPCA). Knowing we can rely on a certain amount of money each month allows us to plan for […]
Sometimes we have dogs that come into our care that need some extra time before they’re ready to find their forever family. It’s often due to behaviour issues, possibly from a lack of training, or sometimes it’s due to having a bad experience in life. When we get these cases, we make sure we do […]
