As you may or may not know, The Humane Society of Kitchener Waterloo & Stratford Perth is an independent charity. Many people believe that the Humane Society is an arm of the government, but that's not true. We do hold contracts with local governments to provide animal and wildlife control services. These contracts make up about a third of our operating budget – meaning that the bulk of what we do, we do as a charity.
As the number of animals we rescue continues to grow, so does our need for new medical equipment and facility improvements.
Over the next few months, we are aiming to raise $100,000 through philanthropic partnerships. This will support our veterinary hospital and the outdoor facilities in our Kitchener and Stratford Centres. Specifically, we are fundraising for:
- A new x-ray machine with dental imaging - Dog park improvements and maintenance - Cautery unit
We need the generosity of local families, individuals, corporations, foundations, and community organizations. Together, we can ensure that every animal in our community has the chance it deserves.Your donations will allow us to continue improving the lives of vulnerable pets in our community.
