Thank You For Being Angels For Animals
Because of your generosity, compassion, and belief in second chances, Angels for Animals reached its fundraising goal. Together, you helped save lives, provide critical care, and give vulnerable animals the love and future they deserve. From all of us at the Okanagan Humane Society, thank you for standing with animals when they needed it most.
There’s still time to make a life-saving impact. Become an Angel today and help us support the thousands of animals who will need care in 2026.
Your donation today brings hope, healing, and a second chance.
Make your donation by midnight, December 31 to receive your 2025 tax receipt!

Rescue & Reunification
Are you looking for your lost pet? OHS volunteers work with the community to rescue lost, abandoned and homeless animals every single day. Check our Found Animals page for recent rescues and information on how to claim your pet.
Life on the Streets
Every year, hundreds of kittens are born to a life on the streets. This is not an easy life. A life full of danger and risk almost always ending in an untimely and tragic death from car strikes, disease, frigid temperatures, or predators.
These animals all have a story. Some were once family pets, sleeping on the couch and being fed every day and became lost or were abandoned by their owners.
OHS is committed to helping save lives and end the suffering. You can help with this life saving work.
- A donation of $75 will provide life saving vaccines, deworming, and ID
- A donation of $200 will spay/neuter one cat and provide basic medical care including vaccines, deworming, and ID
- A donation of $250 per kitten plus formula will rescue a litter of kittens and provide them will a safe place to grow until they can be adopted into loving homes. They will receive all medical care needed and go to their new home with a certificate to ensure they are spayed or neutered when they are old enough!
- A donation of $500 will provide a pregnant mom a safe place to have her babies. We will ensure she is spayed and receives all medical care needed including her vaccines, deworming, and microchip.
