The gift of time has an impact

The Okanagan Humane Society is governed by a team of local volunteers that provide a solutions-based approach on a case-by-case basis with all the animals and people we serve in our communities.

We are a dedicated and passionate team that provides an efficient, cost effective and transparent approach to the work we do.
