Help Us

 We are Non-Profit
The Cambridge and District Humane Society of Cambridge, Ontario, Canada is a non-profit organization and dependent on the generosity of the community it serves. For this reason we ask individuals and groups of our community to support us. This page is amended on a regular basis to reflect our needs at a given time. Please come back regularly to check for changes. We hope that you will help with our endeavor. If you are supporting us presently, we would like to take this opportunity to thank you.

A New Partnership
The Cambridge & District Humane Society has recently joined forces with SNAP Cambridge, a local monthly news source.  SNAP Cambridge will be featuring an available adoption animal at the shelter each month.  They have graciously given us a discounted price in order to assist us with adoptions and with this great opportunity.  We are desperately looking for any businesses that may be willing to participate in our new partnership.  The article would then feature an animal from the shelter and the logo of the business sponsoring the article.  It’s a win-win situation as advertising for both the shelter and the sponsor would be prominent.  Anyone interested in sponsoring please call the shelter.  We would also like to extend a huge thank you to SNAP Cambridge for their help and support of the Cambridge & District Humane Society.

The Cambridge and District Humane Society does not receive any funds
from the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (OSPCA).

Become a Member
One of the ways The Cambridge and District Humane Society supports itself is through membership. Annual membership fees are $40.00. Members receive special discounts at local businesses, a CDHS car magnet, the Society's Newsletters and are invited to attend Society meetings as well as vote on major decisions made during the meetings. Presently, the Cambridge and District Humane Society has about 100 members, which, considering that Cambridge has approximately 102,000 residents, is extremely low. We invite any one interested in becoming a member to contact us.
