Welcome to the Niagara Falls
Humane Society

The Niagara Falls Humane Society helps find loving homes for unwanted and mistreated animals, as well as trying its best to reunite lost pets with their rightful owners.

The NFHS provides a safe haven for pets in limbo, before they are placed in a new home. The Society tries to alleviate the suffering of all animals and to eliminate euthanasia as a method of population control for pets. At the NFHS, no healthy adoptable animal will ever be euthanised.

NFHS to host Pasta Dinner Fundraiser

The Niagara Falls Humane Society will be hosting a pasta dinner at the Knights of Columbus Hall from 4-7pm on Thursday, February 23. The cost for adults is $8 and children 10 and under $5 with the option of eating there or taking your food out. Tickets will be available at the Adoption Centre at Niagara Square or through members of the NFHS. Tickets are $8 in advance and $9 at the door.

The dinner will consist of pasta, meatballs, bread, butter, salad, and dessert. There will also be a cash bar available. Come join us for a fun evening and don't worry about cooking or doing dishes that night! The Humane Society will be having a powerpoint presentation running to show off some of the animals up for adoption. Get out of the house and have fun, support the animals at the shelter and have a great meal all at the same time! For more information you can call Kathleen at 905 328 4407 or Dan at 905-371-6751.

Coyotes in the community

Coyotes, like other wild animals, sometimes come into conflict with humans.

Since migrating to Ontario from the west over 100 years ago, coyotes have adapted well to urban environments and can now be found in both rural and urban settings. Changes in land use, agricultural practices, weather and natural food shortages may contribute to increased coyote sightings in your community.
