As the national voice for humane societies and SPCAs in Canada, the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies works with its member societies to promote respect and humane treatment toward all animals.

The CFHS gathers annual data on the number of animals entering shelters and the numbers adopted, returned to their owners or euthanized.
