Mississauga Humane Society’s goal is to secure a physical location and we need the help of our community! Stay up-to-date with our progress and find out how you can help below.

Help Us Find a Home

MHS is ready for a base of operations.

Since 1999, Mississauga Humane Society has operated as a distributed network of foster homes. Thanks to our incredible volunteers, we’ve been able to save countless cats and dogs from kill shelters and life on the streets. Our foster system ensures that animals wait for their forever homes in comfort and care.

Now, we are ready to take the next step. A physical location will help us grow as an organization and increase our capacity to support animals in need.

With a physical location we’ll…

  • Host education, outreach, and community engagement programs

  • Run adoption and fundraising events

  • Accept and store donations of food, litter, and pet supplies

  • Provide a central hub for administration, meetings, and volunteer coordination

  • Offer a dedicated space for animals transitioning into foster care, including specialized areas for rehabilitation and socialization

Our first step is securing the appropriate zoning approval from Mississauga City Council.

Although our previous application was not approved, we are re-entering the conversation with a new board, renewed direction, and greater financial transparency.

How you can help:
Contact your local councillor and let them know you support MHS’s goal of securing a physical location and want to see zoning approved.

✔ Rebrand & New Website

With a new logo, a clear mission, and more ways to support Mississauga Humane Society, we are ready to grow. Our rebrand sets the stage for the next step in our journey — securing a permanent home and physical base of operations for MHS.

➡ City Zoning Approval

Next, we’re working with Mississauga City Council to approve zoning for a location that can house animals.

How you can help:
Contact your local councillor and let them know you support MHS getting our zoning approved.

➡ Property Identification

Once we’re approved, we’ll begin searching for a property to rent, purchase, or build on.

How you can help:
We are open to discussing property and land options. If you are interested in donating, renting, or selling to us, or offering reduced rent as an in-kind donation, please reach out.

➡ Fundraising

Once we have a clear estimate, we will begin fundraising for our new home.

How you can help:
We will be looking for volunteers to support donation drives. If you are a builder, handyman, or interior designer willing to donate your services as an in-kind contribution, we would love to hear from you.
