About

The Winnipeg Humane Society (WHS) is a non-profit, volunteer-based organization that cares for more than 10,000 animals in shelter and the community each year. Without the generous support of our donors, these animals are given food, shelter, medical care, love, and most importantly, a second chance. Along with finding animals forever families, the WHS offers community support programs and services that help KEEP animals where they belong – in their loving homes. Our Pet Food Bank, free behaviour helpline, low-cost veterinary services, low-cost spay and neuter program (SNAP), and emergency boarding and SafePet programs, aim to ensure the bond between people and their pets remains.

All donors who indicate to us that they have left a gift in their will become members of the Faithful Forever Society. This group of like-minded members receive an invitation to our annual afternoon of gratitude, a subscription to The Printed Paw (WHS newsletter), and an annual impact report. They also have the opportunity to discuss their options with a dedicated staff member.

Let your love of animals be your legacy through a planned gift to the WHS. Choosing to remember the WHS is the perfect way to let your care and compassion for animals continue for years to come.

How your gift will be used

Your gift will go to the area of greatest need – the essential veterinary care, behavioural support, food, and shelter a vulnerable animal needs in order to find their forever home.

However, sometimes donors find themselves drawn to an area of particular interest. In these cases, we are happy to discuss how we can direct your gift to an area that is most meaningful for you.

This can include (but is not limited to), any of the following areas:

WHS clinic needs which includes equipment upgrades, medication, staffing, and everything the clinic needs to provide the best care possible to our animals
One Health program that brings essential veterinary care to remote and urban communities in Manitoba
Adult and Children programming including See Spot Read, WHS Therapy Dogs, and Kids Camp
Community outreach programs that keep much-loved pets with their family
125th Fund: an endowment to care for the animals and the people who love them for years to come
