Calgary Humane Society

The Calgary Humane Society exists to create a more humane world – when animals are at their most vulnerable, their dedicated care sees them through. They believe in inclusive animal welfare – every animal, every person, and every situation are welcome through their doors.

For over 100 years, Calgary Humane Society has been at the center of animal welfare in our city and for every day to come, they work harder than ever to create a world where animal lives are treated with respect and compassion which translates into more compassion for others in our community.

You can make a direct, life-changing impact. For every animal at the Calgary Humane Society, a loving home is the ultimate goal, and your support is the bridge that gets them there.

Whether you adopt and provide that home directly or donate to fund their journey, your choice creates a better future.

A bit about Nilah:

Meet Nilah! A very cute 3 year old doggy whose absolute favourite thing to do is explore with her nose!

She will sniff you all over when you get home with her tail wagging. She will play sniffing games if you hide things in the backyard, and she loves to find all the messages left behind by other animals in the neighbourhood!

She is a very social girl who loves making new friends! You can catch her wiggling with excitement when she runs into somebody to say hi to! Nilah is very happy to play fetch with a rubber toy and will do this over and over, and will often put the toy right in your hands for you to throw it again. She is also a fan of tug-of-war.

Whether she’s cuddling on the couch, playing ball or heading out to explore, Nilah brings a unique energy with her wherever she goes. She is ready to share her loving and spunky personality with you!
