Why Join RHS?

About Regina Humane Society
For over four decades the Regina Humane Society has made a difference, one-by-one, for animals in our community. Hungry animals rescued from the cold have full tummies and a warm place to sleep. Others who have been neglected or abused have found a place to be safe, to trust and to be loved. Fluffy blankets, toys and treats for pets whose owners can no longer care for them make a kennel seem like a home.
The Society was incorporated in 1964 as a non-profit organization. The current Shelter is located on Armour Road, off Highway #6 on the northern edge of the city. It has space for over 300 animals, a voluntary Board of Directors, 32 staff and over 500 active volunteers. The Society has, throughout the years, worked to improve the welfare of animals through programs and services in sheltering, education, protection and advocacy. Without those who support our mission to improve the well-being of animals in our community, we could not continue the valuable services we provide.
