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 […]
Have you ever wondered how we get dogs from far away locations? Our priority is always to assist dogs in our own city, but as there aren’t large numbers of dogs surrendered by their owners, and even fewer are found as strays in Toronto, we’re able to open our doors to dogs from other parts […]
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).

Happy Fall We are so grateful to be welcoming the cooler season with all our animals well cared for by big-hearted fosters—and well fed by the enormous amount of food donations we’ve been thrilled to receive. Even though our physical shelter has been closed due to COVID-19, we remain on track to match our 2019 […]
This month we’re reminding pet parents to keep supplies on hand to help their dog or cat if they experience an illness, injury or poisoning. It’s easy to put together your own pet first aid kit. Hopefully you will never need to use it, but if something happens you’ll be prepared. Pet first aid kit […]
Important notice about shelter hours due to COVID-19 To help keep our volunteers safe, we’re taking steps to reduce the risk of COVID-19. To do this, we’ve made the decision to close the shelter to general visitors until further notice. We’re also making efforts to run the shelter with fewer volunteers in the building at […]
For the entire month of June, every $1 donated to EHS through Canada Helps (with a minimum $3 donation) will enter us into the Great Canadian Giving Challenge!
