We thank you in advance for your generosity and consideration of our animals’ needs! Our animals need your help more than ever during this challenging time.

Cash donations are our number one need in order to continue the high-level of care every animal that comes into our shelter receives. For donations over $20 you will receive a donation receipt.
Monetary donations are generously accepted at guelphhumane.ca!
In-Kind donations are also a generous way to give back. If you wish to receive a charitable tax receipt for your new, unopened items, please be sure to bring a purchase receipt with you when you donate your items, so the true value is known for CRA.
