Toronto Humane Society is a Toronto charity that operates animal shelters and animal rescue operations. It was founded in 1887 by John J. Kelso dedicated to promote both children's aid and the humane treatment of animals. Since 1891, the society focused exclusively on the humane treatment of animals with the Children's Aid Society becoming a distinct organization.[1]
