Spay – Neuter Saves Lives and Ends Suffering
The Okanagan Humane Society (OHS) is a Registered Canadian Charity #8888 17269 RR 0001 formed in 1996 by volunteers committed to solving pet overpopulation. OHS carries out its Mission by:
- assisting low income families with access to low cost spay/neuter and sometimes medical care for their pets;
- rescuing, treating and rehoming stray, feral or abandoned animals;
- promoting responsible pet care through public awareness and education.
OHS is 100% volunteer run, and foster home based, relying only on donations and grants. We could not function without our supporters, volunteers and the care and compassion of our veterinary partners.
