If you wish to write a cheque, please write it to the order of

If you have Club Z Points or Canadian Tire Money that you would like to donate, we can use it! These gifts can be used to buy pet food, blankets, toys, and other supplies that we need to care for abandoned animals.

If you happen to be in Swish or either of the Pet Valu Stores, you can also buy food, collars and leashes, toys and cleaning supplies and drop them into the Humane Society bins at each store.

You might also consider holding a garage sale, dance, or other event, and donating the proceeds to the Humane Society. All funds raised go towards the purchase of food, supplies and veterinary services for the animals under the Society's care.

Become a Member
Becoming a member of the Timmins & District Humane Society is one way you can help support the good works of the Society. A one-year membership costs $10 (individual) or $15 (family) and is tax-deductible. You may even want to consider giving memberships as gifts to friends and relatives who like animals....it's a thoughtful, unique gift that gives everyone a warm feeling of accomplishment.

To become a member, simply call us or stop by the shleter at 620 Mahoney Drive. The Society is governed by a Board of community-minded volunteers, and it is always open to new members.

Donate your time
The Timmins Humane Society organizes a number of events throughout the year to raise money for its continued operations. You can help by donating your time, energy and ideas in planning, organizing and managing these events. Are you an expert baker? Perhaps you could donate a batch of your favourite cookies to the next bake sale. If you can donate an hour or a day, for one time only or on a regular basis, please give us a call.

Adopt an animal
Can you open your home and your heart to a dog or cat in need of a home? Many animals need secure, loving homes. The Society usually has dogs and cats of a variety of breeds,sizes and ages. Consider adopting an animal that really needs a home. You'll be rewarded with the unconditional love that only a pet can provide. Click here for more information.
