Toronto, Ontario, Canada Toronto Humane Society Full time
Do you love animals as much as we do? Join us and you can make a difference every day

Toronto Humane Society finds new homes for thousands of animals and helps keep families together. However, Toronto Humane Society is more than an animal shelter. We are an educational resource and support system, a leading voice in animal welfare and accessible care.

Toronto Humane Society is a center of excellence, a space where best practices and boundary-pushing knowledge exchange meet with unyielding optimism and a love for animals to create something special.

Toronto Humane Society is like no other.

Working at Toronto Humane Society:

At Toronto Humane Society, we are drawn together by our
purpose.

The power of the Human-Animal Bond, it's a bond like no other, and it's the reason we get up in the morning.

If you love animals as much as we do, you understand why we work so hard to provide the best life possible for the animals in our care and the people who bond with them.

It's our expertise at every step of the journey, combined with the love and support provided by people in our community that complete the circle.


At Toronto Humane Society we recognize that the field of animal welfare and the challenges it presents are ever changing.

Because of this, we encourage and support our staff, volunteers, foster parents and other stakeholders to continue their
learning journey.

We believe that a commitment to learning and growing daily is the only way we will ever achieve our mission, not just as an organization, but also as individuals.

In order to learn, we must be comfortable in the unknown, be able to take measured risks, and when we fail - be ready to accept it as an opportunity for growth.

We want our people to continually develop and expand, finding creative ways to increase both our impact and theirs.
