Welcome! There are more than 100 furry friends on any given day that are happy you stopped by - whether to adopt, donate, volunteer, participate in events or just to inform yourself of who we are and what we do - every effort, big or small, makes an immediate difference to an unwanted, neglected or abused animal in your community.

ANNOUNCEMENT
Humane Society Statement regarding current situation:
As the contracted Animal Care & Control Service provider for the City of Sault Ste. Marie, we enforce the Animal Care & Control by-law and the Dog Owners Liability Act, which includes regulations for pit bull type dogs. As a result of this contract we are a designated Pound in the Province of Ontario and must follow all legislated requirements including inspections.
When releasing animals that come into our care we are required to determine several facts such as the rightful owner, ensuring all criteria and regulations for the Provincial Dog Owners Liability Act are met including the breed of dog.
We cannot comment on matters that are or may come before the court. But those facts will be accessible to the public once they come before the courts.
We would like to remind all dog owners that having current veterinary vaccine records and a city licence will ensure a quick and often, no charge reunion with your beloved pet.
To address your concerns with the pit bull regulations in Ontario, you can contact your MPP https://www.ola.org/en/members

HAPPENING NOW:
2019 City of Sault Ste. Marie Dog Licenses are available!
We would like to acknowledge all the generous kids in our community that collect donations for the animals out of the kindness of their hearts.
So throughout the year, kids who make donations to the shelter pets are invited to enter their name into a free draw for a Galaxy Cinema Gift Basket ($50 Galaxy Cinema gift card, snacks and an honorary Junior Membership).
