320 4th Ave SW, Calgary
This is Calgary Humane Society’s premiere gala to raise vital funds for the vulnerable animals in our community.
Every year, Calgary Humane Society relies solely on the generosity of Calgarians to continue advancing our mission to help as many animals as we can in the hopes of creating a more humane world.
The shelter is a hub for all animals in need under any circumstance. Beyond adoptions, we support animal welfare in Calgary through education, outreach, emergency vet services for surrendered animals, behaviour training for those in need of help with their pets, and our unique ability to enforce the Animal Protection Act.
With your help, we act as a gateway for more meaningful lives. By connecting people and animals, we help animals live healthy and happy lives with the right caretaker. And we help those caretakers reach feelings of fulfilment and companionship that come from caring for an animal.
By attending, donating to and supporting this event, you are helping us bring our dream of a community where all animals are valued, humanely treated, and live enriched lives, a reality.
