Our Mission is to provide shelter and care for stray or homeless pets in Weyburn, until they can be reunited with their owners or adopted to a new home. OUR VISION
Through the promotion of responsible pet ownership, we will exist primarily to shelter and re-home pets that end up in our care due to unfortunate or uncontrollable circumstances only. To inspire lifelong commitment where animals are treated with empathy, kindness, and respect; free from pain, distress, disease, hunger and thirst. OUR HISTORY
MANY years ago the city had a "dog catcher" that would round up animals running at large and house them in a shed in deplorable conditions.They had only a few days chance to be sought out by their owners before they were destroyed. Volunteers began caring for the animals in this shed daily, providing food and bedding, hauling water in to clean and care for the animals. The Weyburn Humane Society was established in 1991 working out of this building, slowly improving as was possible. Finally in 1994 a parcel of land on 16th street was allocated by the city and volunteers built a garage package. It was new, it was clean and it was a huge improvement! The new shelter was built and furnished all by donations of labor and money. Additions have been added over the years to that garage package to bring us to what we have today. The Humane Society took over animal control officer duties and is under contract with the city replacing the antiquated "dog catcher". FUNDING
Our only security is our monthly payment from the city for doing animal control.$3000.00 does not reach far enough when it comes to caring for the animals. This is why we work so hard to fund raise and implore the public to give generously. While working to maintain the old shelter, we are trying to save money for a new building. This is a daunting task but we are tenacious and have faith we will succeed.
