The Timmins & District Humane Society (TDHS) is a registered charity (Charity # 87246 6198 RR0001).
We play a number of roles within the Timmins and surrounding areas!
In addition to being an adoption center, we also provide animal control services for the City of Timmins as well as assisting the provincial government with animal cruelty and neglect cases. All adoptable animals that come into the shelter — whether as strays unclaimed by their owners, those who can no longer take care of their pets or through welfare investigations — are put up for adoption and await their forever homes at our facility. We have an experienced team including veterinary technicians and veterinarians along with our cleaning crew, reception staff, and management.
Under a contract with the municipality of the City of Timmins, the city’s pound is operated by the TDHS and both the cat and dog by-laws are enforced. Cat and dog licenses are sold and registered on behalf of the City of Timmins at the TDHS, as well as at both Pet Valu locations and Hard Rock Animal Hospital. The TDHS’ animal control service covers domestic animals within the boundaries of the City of Timmins [By-laws, No. 2005-6220 and 2004-6014]
Our humane society relies on local fundraising, donations and volunteers to support its activities; we are not government funded. Events and other fundraising initiatives are held throughout the year in order to raise much needed funds so that staff and volunteers can continue to support our overall mission of improving quality of life for all animals in our community and outlying areas. Those wishing to donate may contact the TDHS at 705-264-1816. Your support is so appreciated!
The Timmins & District Humane Society is incorporated as a charitable organization under the laws of Ontario. Anyone interested in volunteering as a board member is asked to contact the TDHS.
Lastly, we have a fantastic volunteer base, helping with things like animal care, cleaning, dog walking, pet socialization, health services, adoption clinics, telephone and administration, fundraising events, our Friends of Pets Thrift Shop location, and more. Those wanting to get involved are asked to contact us!
