Help Us

 We are Non-Profit
The Cambridge and District Humane Society of Cambridge, Ontario, Canada is a non-profit organization and dependent on the generosity of the community it serves. For this reason we ask individuals and groups of our community to support us. This page is amended on a regular basis to reflect our needs at a given time. Please come back regularly to check for changes. We hope that you will help with our endeavor. If you are supporting us presently, we would like to take this opportunity to thank you.

The Cambridge and District Humane Society does not receive any funds
from the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (OSPCA).

Become a Member
One of the ways The Cambridge and District Humane Society supports itself is through membership. Annual membership fees are $40.00. Members receive special discounts at local businesses, a CDHS car magnet, the Society's Newsletters and are invited to attend Society meetings as well as vote on major decisions made during the meetings. Presently, the Cambridge and District Humane Society has about 100 members, which, considering that Cambridge has approximately 102,000 residents, is extremely low. We invite any one interested in becoming a member to contact us.

We Need...
We are in need of a garden shed, approximately 10'x12' to store our kitty litter.  We are searching for a corporation(s) that may be willing to donate funds, supplies or have their employees put it up as a community work project.  Anyone interested in helping us out please contact Bonnie at the shelter.

Please...
bring us your Zehrs cash register receipts. Zehrs generously gives us 0.1% of all receipts we return to them.

Volunteers
Without a doubt, the Cambridge and District Humane Society would not exist without volunteers. If you would like to volunteer, please contact us. If you are presently or have been a volunteer for our organization in the past, we would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your kindness.
