purchase and develop land for an animal shelter in northern BC.Northwest Animal Shelter Society

The benefits we humans derive from our association with animals is well documented - they provide us with love and companionship, security and protection, assistance to hearing or visually challenged people, and much more. Our shelter will provide a safe place for these animals until their forever home can be found. We will also assist people who, for whatever reason, can no longer keep their pets. Our shelter will also provide employment, and will become a focal point in our community from which we can run programs to educate the population on animal care, and the importance of spaying and neutering pets to curb pet overpopulation. The proximity to the main centre in the area will also allow more volunteers to work with animals. We have many requests from people wanting to help the animals, but find it difficult to comply as we do most of our work through foster homes. The ability to volunteer and help those most vulnerable in society makes us a more compassionate community.
