About Humane Society London & Middlesex

Humane Society London & Middlesex is a non-profit, charitable organization located on Dundas Street in central London. Serving the local community, the organization provides a shelter facility for animals, acts as an advocate for animal welfare, and offers educational resources regarding animal issues. It focuses on improving the lives of animals by providing temporary housing and finding permanent homes for surrendered pets. The organization offers a variety of services, including medical care for the approximately 1,000 animals it houses annually. They facilitate pet adoptions for dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens. A specific initiative called the Whiskers at Work Program provides a pathway for cats that are not suited for traditional indoor lifestyles, such as feral or friendly cats that prefer independent, outdoor-leaning arrangements like barns or garages. Additionally, the society manages the No Empty Bowls pet food pantry, which distributes food and treats to families experiencing food insecurity. They also provide animal care and control services for the Village of Newbury, the Municipality of Dutton Dunwich, and the Township of Adelaide-Metcalfe. Established in 1899, Humane Society London & Middlesex relies on corporate and individual donations to fund its operations, as it receives no government funding. The organization emphasizes a mission of compassion, seeking to foster joy and connection between humans and animals. Community members can get involved through various volunteer positions, monthly giving via the PAW Program, or by participating in annual fundraising events like Tails on Trails.
