Our mission at The Toronto Humane Society is “To promote the humane care and protection of all animals and to prevent cruelty and suffering.” The day-to-day operation of the THS involves the direct handling of lost, abandoned, unwanted and injured pets and wildlife.
The Society has a modern facility that houses its shelter, clinic and administrative offices. Technological advances such as computerized record-keeping, microchip pet identification and rapid-fire telecommunications systems have enhanced the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of shelter operations. The Society operates as an independent not-for-profit organization supported by an infrastructure of strategic partnerships and alliances, and individual and corporate donations. The THS does not receive government funding.
The Shelter at 11 River Street:
The Society provides a desperately needed haven for injured and abandoned animals in the city of Toronto. Each year approximately 9,000 animals are cared for at the shelter, which is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The injured receive veterinary care; abandoned animals are given a safe haven. Wildlife are cared for until they recover and/or they are old enough to be released to their natural habitat. Immature and/or injured animals are placed in foster care until they are old enough and strong enough to be placed for adoption.
Fundraising:
The Society solely relies on the generosity of individuals, corporations, foundations and associations to ensure round-the-clock operations for any animal in need.

Responsibilities Include:
- Managing timelines (critical paths) for all direct marketing and other fundraising activities.
