About us
The Winnipeg Humane Society is a registered charity and non-profit, volunteer-based organization funded primarily by donations and bequests. Mission: To protect animals from suffering and to promote their welfare and dignity Vision: Animals are treated humanely The Winnipeg Humane Society is one of the oldest community service organizations in Winnipeg and the oldest and largest animal shelter and welfare organization in Manitoba. Founded over 115 years ago, the organization has come a long way from the days of housing animals on the main floor of a house while the shelter secretary lived upstairs. Originally formed as the “Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Women, Children and Animals” the shelter’s board and founding members consisted of a broad cross section of Winnipeg citizens from businessmen, to lawyers, to progressively minded women. Over the years, as other agencies were formed to support women and children, The WHS reorganized with the goal of focusing on animals. After over 30 years of running the shelter out of a house on Logan Ave, The WHS relocated to a new building on Kent Street in the late 1960’s. Almost 40 years later in 2007, a new, state-of-the-art facility was built to accommodate the 8.500 animals that cross through the shelter doors annually.

We've got an incredible alumni birthday this month, sent in by volunteer extraordinaire Vicki: "Chip is a distinguished WHS Alumnus as one of the, or maybe the only, remaining adoptee from the WHS Kent Street location. At 20 yrs old, Chip enjoys exploring the outdoors on a leash and harness, laying in the sunshine, and chasing treats. When he was adopted in 2004, Chip immediately bonded with my son, 6yr old Matt, and the two remain inseparable two decades on. Chip lives with his 100 pound canine housemate Dexter, who recently celebrated his 9th gotcha anniversary." We want to hear about your amazing adopted bestie - email photos to communications@winnipeghumanesociety.ca. We love keeping up with old friends. 💜🧡

This sweet, sweet girl with little white socks is Nola. She's poised and BEAUTIFUL, and is patiently waiting for her family. Nola came to us through no fault of her own and at 3 yrs old is quiet and calm, hoping to go home to a nice couch and some sunrays. Is she the one for you? Call our adoptions line at 204-982-2035 to make an appointment and hear more about her.
