Please note that the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies (CFHS) is not an animal rescue centre nor do we provide rescue services. The CFHS is a national federation that represents humane societies and SPCAs but we do not have jurisdiction over the societies or their operations. The CFHS also does not do cruelty inspections.
If you’ve witnessed an act of animal cruelty or neglect, please call your local SPCA or humane society and speak to the Animal Cruelty Investigations department.
If there is no local SPCA or humane society where you live, call the provincial SPCA or contact the police.
If you’ve witnessed an act of animal cruelty or neglect on a farm, please call your local SPCA or humane society. If your shelter does not attend to farm animal concerns or you live outside your local shelter’s jurisdiction, please contact the provincial SPCA or the police.
If you’re having conflicts with wild animals on your property or in your neighbourhood, please contact a local wildlife centre or your provincial ministry of natural resources.
If you see any animal in need of emergency care, please find the best animal hospital or local veterinary clinic that could care for that animal.
If your emergency is after hours, call your local animal hospital or veterinary clinic and listen to the instructions for 24 hour emergency services during the recording.
