About Us:

Since 1936, the Humane Society of Oakville, Milton & Halton (HSOMH) has been a safe haven for animals in need and a trusted resource for the people who care about them. We’re more than a shelter. We’re a community hub where compassion, education, and action come together to strengthen the human–animal bond.

At HSOMH, we care for approximately 300 animals at any given time, whether they are lost, rescued, or surrendered and awaiting their new beginning. Every animal that comes through our doors receives shelter, medical care, and the compassion they deserve.

People often walk through our doors expecting to adopt a pet, drop off a donation, or volunteer for a few hours. What they leave with is so much more: new connections, unexpected joy, and a lasting place in a community that cares deeply for pets and people alike.

What You'll Be Doing!

The Animal Control Officer will receive guidance and support from their manager while being expected to meet performance standards and activity levels. Their primary role is to respond to animal-related emergencies and standard calls, as well as assist in addressing public inquiries and concerns, providing information about animal control legislation and local by-laws to enhance customer service for the shelter. Additionally, they will actively participate in department activities and work closely with the Animal Services team to ensure that the goals and objectives set by HSOMH are met. An outline of the key responsibilities of this role have been listed below.
