In its own words
The Victoria Humane Society is involved with animal welfare at many levels in the Victoria region and across the province. From heroic acts of rescue to conducting spay and neuter clinics in remote communities to ongoing fundraising events we step up for animals in every possible way. Through a unique network of volunteers and foster homes the animals that come into our care are placed with qualified and compassionate individuals before they transition to permanent homes. This provides adopting families with an insight into each animal’s unique personality and suitability for their home. …
