Welcome to the Kitchener-Waterloo Humane Society

The Kitchener-Waterloo Humane Society (KWHS) has been saving lives since 1927. Now in its 82nd year the KWHS is one of the largest humane societies in Ontario serving one of the fastest growing metropolitan areas. Over 26,000 square feet of space allows us to hold 62 dogs, 119 cats and an assortment of birds, small mammals and reptiles. In emergency situations the Centre can be quickly altered to house up to 400 animals. The KWHS provides humane education, law enforcement, and sheltering of animals in this community. We do not receive any government funding.

The Kitchener-Waterloo Humane Society (KWHS) is very saddened to hear of the outbreak of ringworm at the York Region SPCA which has resulted in the humane euthanization of affected animals. The KWHS would like to reassure our adopters, supporters, and the general public of the Region of Waterloo that we are very diligent in our disease control protocols and procedures, and that the health and well-being of our animals, and the animals of our community, are our top priority. For updates on the current situation taking place at the York Region Shelter, visit http://www.ontariospca.ca/.
