Who & How We Serve
Alberta Helping Animals Society serves both animals and their humans. Vulnerable individuals are particularly bonded to and rely on their companion animals for social support, companionship, and unconditional love. Ensuring the health and well-being of these animals is vital to ensuring the health and well-being of the owners, and further strengthens this very special human-animal bond.
Community Support
Our services extend beyond veterinary care. We proudly support the Boyle Street Community Services Pet Food Bank with weekly donations of dog food, cat food, litter, and other pet supplies and provide food and supplies when we can from our own clinic.
Veterinary Services

We provide wellness exams, spay and neuter surgery, diagnosis and care for chronic illness, dentistry, palliative care, and end-of-life support.

AHAS would not exist without the vital support of our volunteers. Our volunteer veterinarians and technicians provide their time and skills to ensure the health and well-being of the animals. Our volunteers are passionate, driven, and dedicated to achieving the AHAS vision. We are extremely grateful for them, our most valuable asset!
