A Successful Summer of Spay and Neuter Clinics at Calgary Humane Society

This summer, Calgary Humane Society proudly ran two successful Community Spay and Neuter Clinics, offering much-needed services to help address pet overpopulation and capacity issues in Calgary. These clinics provided no-cost spay and neuter surgeries to low-income pet owners, ensuring that pets remain where they belong—at home with their families. 

The response to our first clinic was overwhelming, with an incredible number of applications pouring in as soon as we opened registration. The demand was so high that we quickly realized one clinic wouldn’t be enough to meet the needs of our community. Thanks to the dedication of our team and the support from our community, we were able to organize a second clinic, allowing us to assist even more pet owners and their beloved animals. 

At Calgary Humane Society, we believe that responsible pet ownership is essential for the well-being of both pets and their families. Our Community Spay and Neuter Clinics are a key part of this commitment, providing accessible resources to those who need them most. By offering these services, we help to prevent unwanted litters, reduce the strain on animal shelters, and support the long-term health and happiness of pets across Calgary. 

But our commitment to the community doesn’t stop there. Calgary Humane Society also offers a variety of additional services to support pet owners and their animals in different ways: 

  • Behaviour Helpline and Classes: We understand how challenging it can be when your pet is struggling with behavior issues. Our Pet Training programs offer private consultations, training classes, and free resources to help address these problems and strengthen the bond between you and your pet. For assistance, call 403-723-6019 or email behaviour.help@calgaryhumane.ca
  • Food Bank Program: Financial difficulties can impact everyone in the family, including pets. Our donation-based Food Bank program provides pet food and supplies to families in need, ensuring that pets don’t go hungry during tough times. For more information, contact 403-205-4455 or email general.inquiries@calgaryhumane.ca
  • Pets and Renters Program: Housing challenges often lead to pet surrenders. Through this program, tenants can access free behavior consultations to help their pets become better tenants and neighbors, reducing the risk of surrender. For more details, call 403-723-6019 or email behaviour.help@calgaryhumane.ca
  • Pet Safekeeping: For individuals in crisis due to family violence or abuse, our Pet Safekeeping program offers temporary housing for their pets, providing a safe alternative while they seek help. Access to this program requires a referral from a recognized service agency. Contact us at 403-723-6025 for assistance. 
  • Emergency Boarding: In cases of sudden hospitalization, natural disasters, or other emergencies, we offer short-term boarding for pets when other options are unavailable. This program is a last resort and requires a referral from a recognized service professional. For more information, call 403-723-6025. 
  • Rosco’s Keep Them Home: This initiative, in partnership with veterinarians, helps return surrendered animals to their owners during emergencies like accidents or ingestion of foreign objects. Referrals are made by participating veterinarians, ensuring that aid reaches those in genuine need. 
  • Seniors Program: In collaboration with the Calgary Foundation and Calgary Seniors Resource Society, this program offers support to seniors, helping them maintain connections with their pets through medical support, food bank services, and more. For information, call 587-320-3801 or email general.inquiries@calgaryhumane.ca

We are excited to continue our work in the community and look forward to running more spay and neuter clinics in the future. Stay tuned to our website and social media channels to find out when the next clinic will be available, and how you can apply to have your pet scheduled for surgery. Together, we can make a positive impact on the lives of pets and their families in our community.
