Hearts for Paws was an unforgettable evening dedicated to changing the lives of vulnerable animals across the North Okanagan. Proudly presented by Kidston Helm Ross Lawyers LLP, the event brought our community together to raise critical funds for the Okanagan Humane Society, providing lost, abandoned, and feral animals with safety, compassionate care, and a second chance at life.

This year, your generosity made history. Together, we raised a record-breaking more than $66,000 to support animals in need throughout Vernon and the North Okanagan.

To everyone who attended, placed bids in our silent, online, and live auctions, and proudly raised your hand during Unleash Your Love, thank you. Every bid, every donation, and every act of generosity is transforming lives.

Thank-you to our corporate sponsors, media sponsors, event volunteers and the community for helping us say ‘yes’ to saving lives!

Together, we are proving that when a community comes together with compassion, we can give vulnerable animals the second chance they deserve and create a future where every animal has the opportunity to thrive.
