The Edmonton Humane Society (formerly Edmonton SPCA) was first organized in 1907 by its founder, (Rosetta Graydon) - Edmonton’s first humane educator. The EHS was then incorporated as a non-profit animal welfare society in 1910, and issued its Charter in 1912. During about a hundred years of operation, the non-profit organization has dedicated efforts to sheltering and speaking for homeless and abused companion animals.
