Rescue Program
Save lost, stray and abandoned animals
The Okanagan Humane Society works to provide collaborative solutions for care of our community animals.
OHS Volunteers work directly with residents, community members and 25+ local veterinary partners to rescue and provide necessary spay, neuter, ID and veterinary care for unowned or lost, abandoned, feral and homeless dogs, cats and kittens.
Foster homes then provide sheltering for these animals while they heal and until reunited with owners or adopted to new loving homes. OHS needs foster families for dogs and cats. Please sign up today if you can help:
Report Stray Animals: Building Community Solutions

Donate to help with Emergency Care for stray animals
OHS receives calls of animals in need of urgent medical care often. We don’t know when they will happen, what emergency will be, or how big the bill will be to pay.
YOU can help by donating so ensure lost, abandoned animals get the emergency medical care they need.
The Emergency Medical Fund is used to support medical procedures and surgeries from spay, neuter and vaccines to more extensive injuries including broken limbs or needed surgeries.
You can help the lives of Okanagan animals

if you want a story he will tell you one. He is a very social and vocal cat, Like a partner in crime he only asks for company in return. This gem of a cat is truly something else. He gets along with any other cat as well. He loves his wet food especially chicken in extra gravy and lots of fresh water. He just loves to look outside and relax as much as possible. Not recommended for younger children.

5 year old female. Contact Sarah in Kelowna 250-317-3398. Blaky is spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. Vet cost recovery $125. Blaky is a sweet girl, she was abandoned at the side of the road with a ‘free’ sign on her carrier. She is slow to warm up, and enjoys a quiet space without loud or sudden noises. She needs some patience to get to know you. She loves to nose her way under the covers and have a long day sleep. She appreciates having a loving home and attention, but she’s probably best in a home without children or other pets. She’s looking for her forever home where she can feel secure and wanted for the rest of her days!

Hermione is an amazing cat, who has overcome many things in her life. She will need a very special, and patient forever home, who is willing to let her realize that people are good and safe. Hermione will need to be your only pet, and a smaller place (like a condo or townhouse) is preferred over a large space. Hermione will be the greatest forever and loyal companion to whoever is willing to give her a chance, and allow her plenty of time and space to trust you. She very much enjoys a cat tree with a nook where she can hide and watch her surroundings. Currently, she is experiencing a slight allergic reaction, so whoever adopts this beautiful lady will need to be patient with working through a diet, and be okay with her over grooming a bit until we figure out what serves her best. If you are willing to give an amazing cat a chance, please reach out to Sarah to chat through more specifics.

2-4 year old female cat. Contact Alison in Kelowna 250-486-1020. Kiki has been spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. Vet cost recovery $125.
Kiki is a beautiful soul in the form of this lovely female kitty. She is a very timid girl who will do best in a quiet home, possibly with a single person and no other pets. Kiki loves to be petted and her tummy rubbed but she is very slow to come out her shell so lots of patience is needed by her next forever parent. She enjoys her food and treats. If you feel you will be a good fit for this precious girl please contact Foster, Alison at 250-486-1020.

7 year old male. Neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. Vet cost recovery $125. Contact Jessica in Kelowna 250-769-6975.
Winston is a very sweet boy. He’s a bit shy initially but once he trusts you, he’s very affectionate. He doesn’t like dogs and isn’t really a fan of other cats, although he may be okay with a senior cat who gives him his space. Unfortunately, Winston’s family had to move and couldn’t take him with them. So he needs a forever home, one where he will get all the love and attention he deserves.

8 year old N male dog, approx 20 lbs. MinPin Cross. He was found abandoned on the side of the road in the Chase-Falkland area, with a mouth infection so bad he was bleeding into his water bowl.
Shadow underwent dental surgery to clear the infection from his mouth, and then he spent a few weeks healing up in the care of his very kind Vernon foster family. He is now ready to find his forever home!
Shadow is a very friendly, settled, obedient middle aged dog that loves to rub his belly in the grass doing “the worm” and sit nice for cheese or banana treats - his favorite! He is looking for someone who will take him for many walks, give him lots of pets, and who will snuggle up next to him on the couch. If you’re lucky, he may even sit on your lap! He is good with kids and friendly with other dogs.
Shadow is neutered, vaccinated, dewormed and microchipped. To learn more about Shadow or arrange a meet and greet, please reach out to Romany at 250-862-1794. Vet cost recovery fee for Shadow is $300.
