𝗚𝗼𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝘄𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗿? 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝘁! 📰🐾

We're looking for donations of gently-used newspaper to help keep our patients safe, clean, and comfortable while they're in our care. Newspaper is an important everyday resource in our hospital and helps us provide the best possible environment for our patients!

The next time you're getting rid of newspaper that is no longer needed, we'd be so grateful if you kept us in mind! Donations can be dropped off at 400 Pembina Hwy, during our regular business hours.

Thank you for helping us care for our patients in every little way 💙

𝗛𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗬 𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗡𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗟 𝗗𝗢𝗚 𝗗𝗔𝗬! 🐕🐶🐾

Today, we're celebrating those who make our lives a little brighter, a little sillier, and a whole lot fuller. For many of us, they're so much more than pets – they're family, loyal companions, adventure buddies, and sometimes even little extensions of ourselves. They comfort us when we need it most, greet us at the door, and bring so much joy into our everyday lives!

We're so thankful to every family who entrusts their precious dogs to our care. It's an honour to be a part of their lives and to care for them alongside you. We hope you're having the best day ever with your goodest boys and girls 💙 Give them a treat from us!

Please be advised of the WHS’s current intake freeze.

During this time, we’re unfortunately unable to accept owner-relinquished animals.

We appreciate your understanding & patience ❤️‍🩹

Our holding areas are currently at capacity, and we are having to implement a temporary intake freeze, prioritizing critically sick and injured animals.

For context, last year we took in 4,893 cats & kittens alone. Most healthy cats may only spend a few days with us waiting for their adoption, but even at that, care for each cat can cost between $200-$300. This number only rises with medical and behavioural cases, with longer stays and more resources needed to care for them.

The external funding we receive covers only a portion of these resources, and for the rest, we rely on donations from our community.

We don't make these decisions lightly - while funding is critical to operate, our capacity also looks at our ability to care for these animals. Our clinic teams working long hours, animal care and behaviour teams being stretched incredibly thin, and using adoption rooms as overflow for holding.

While intake is paused, we still have support for pet owners, with community resources including our pet food bank, behaviour helpline, and more. Find them all here: https://winnipeghumanesociety.ca/your-family-pet/programs-community-support-services/.

📣 𝗘𝗫𝗖𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗡𝗘𝗪𝗦! 📣

We are thrilled to announce that PVH is now offering advanced breeding services for our canine clientele!

Our new services include:
✅ Stud & semen evaluation
✅ Transcervical Insemination (TCI)
🔜 Coming soon: semen collection, shipping & freezing

Responsible breeding is one of the most important things we can do for the long-term health and wellbeing of our beloved dog breeds. Breeding done with care, intention, and the right veterinary support helps preserve breed integrity, prioritizes genetic health, and brings healthy puppies into loving homes!

TCI is the gold standard technique relied upon by Canadian Kennel Club certified breeders across the country, and now it's available right here at PVH. Our knowledgeable and compassionate team is proud to be a trusted partner for you and your dogs 💙

We couldn't be more excited to bring this level of care to Manitoba's breeding community – because every great dog deserves the best possible start! 🐶

Please read for some further information from our friends at PWRC 🤍

EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY-June 4th, 2026- PLEASE READ

For the past 19 years, We have been running PWRC as a volunteer based charity. Over the last 15 years, we have admitted and rehabilitated more than 2,000 animals annually.

As you know, every year brings new challenges and changes related to volunteers, funding, donations, politics, staffing, and the increasing costs of wildlife rehabilitation, including food, medical care, and facility maintenance. After much consideration, we have made the difficult decision to begin winding down the organization.

This summer will be our final operating season. Effective Thursday, June 4th, we will no longer be admitting new wildlife patients. If you come across an injured and orphaned wildlife, please contact :

Wildlife Haven 204-202-3806
Manitoba Conservation 1-800-782-0076, or
Bridgewater Veterinary Hospital 204-452-0911 (drop off for Wildlife Haven)

Our focus will be on completing the rehabilitation of the animals currently in our care at the St. Adolphe site. We will continue to rely on community support to care for the wildlife patients still in our care—especially the four fox kits, who require a specialized diet to grow and thrive. Their expected release will be in August/September.

Every donation helps ensure these young animals receive the proper nutrition and care they need for a successful return to the wild. Thank you for being part of their journey.

This has been an incredibly difficult decision, but we are proud of the work we have done and the effort we have made to help injured and orphaned wildlife over the years.

We would like to extend a huge and heartfelt thank you to Pembina Veterinary Hospital and Winnipeg Emergency Veterinary Clinic for nearly 20 years of dedicated support as a trusted wildlife drop-off location for PWRC.

Because of your compassion and commitment, thousands of animals have received a second chance at life through our doors. Your long-standing partnership has made an incredible impact on wildlife in our community, and we are truly grateful.

We are forever thankful for your generosity, care, and unwavering support.

Thank you for your support throughout this journey.

Sincerely
PWRC Board of Directors and Volunteers

🚨 𝗨𝗥𝗚𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗨𝗣𝗗𝗔𝗧𝗘 – 𝗣𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗦𝗘 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗 🚨

As of today, June 3, 2026, Prairie Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre will no longer be accepting new wildlife patients. This is a difficult but necessary decision, made so that current patients can continue to receive the quality of care they deserve.

If you come across an injured or orphaned wild animal, our colleagues at Bridgwater Veterinary Hospital and Wellness Centre are still able to accept wildlife cases, which will then be transported to Wildlife Haven for treatment. Patients can also be dropped off directly at their campus in Ile des Chênes.

📞 Bridgwater: (204) 452-0911
📞 Wildlife Haven: (204) 202-3806

We are grateful for everything PWRC has done for our community and the countless animals they have helped over the years 🐣❤️‍🩹
