Description

The Victoria Humane Society is a community-based, registered charity where animals and their needs come first. We bring a dynamic and fresh new approach to animal welfare. Executive Director Penny Stone brings a compassionate, experienced team of volunteers to provide a safe haven and new hope for sick, injured or homeless B.C. animals. Collectively this team has decades of experience in rescuing, rehabilitating and finding new homes for animals in need with a specific focus on assisting animals in rural and remote communities. We are all brought together by a love for animals and an intense focus on one guiding principle: “What is the right thing for these animals?” Daily we are asked to assist more and more animals. The Victoria Humane Society will have a shelter in the future and we are working on securing a location. At this time, rescued animals are being placed in foster homes until adopted. Our current network of foster homes is doing an amazing job of caring for these animals in need. Volunteers and donors are the heart, soul and life-blood of the Victoria Humane Society – we literally could not do this work without you. Thank you for considering opening your heart, home or wallet to help a cat or dog in need. Their healthy and happiness are in our hands, and together we can give so many of them the bright and happy futures they deserve.
