Woof woof! 🐾 Hey friends, it's me, Echo! 🐶

Guess what? I found my fur-ever home, and let me tell you, it's paws-itively amazing! I have a cozy bed, endless belly rubs, and a family that loves me to bits. Life is good! ❤️

But not all my furry friends have been as lucky as me. There are still so many pups and kitties at the shelter waiting for their chance to find a loving home just like I did.

That's why I'm barking out to you today to support the Timmins & District Humane Society's 50/50 Draw! Half the proceeds go to support the shelter in providing food, care, and warm beds for my pals, and the other half could go to YOU! It's a win-win, right?

So, if you have a little extra to spare, please consider buying a ticket (or a few)! Every little bit helps make a big difference. Let's help all my friends find their own happily ever afters! 🏡

Click the link below to get your tickets and spread the woof! I mean, word! 😉

Love and wet noses,

Captain came to us at the Timmins & District Humane Society just like so many others — lost, a stray with an unknown past.

But what made him different was that our staff immediately recognized his urgent need for medical care.

This sweet-natured boy arrived with his eyes so severely swollen, he couldn’t even open them. We couldn’t tell right away what was wrong — it was heartbreaking to see him in such pain.

Thanks to several rounds of medication, the swelling finally subsided enough for us to discover that Captain was suffering from a painful condition called entropion, where his eyelids rolled inward, irritating his eyes.

But because of your unwavering support through our 50/50 Draw, Captain received the surgery he desperately needed. He’s now on the road to recovery and will soon be ready to find the loving, forever home he deserves!

Thank you for giving Captain and so many others like him a second chance at life. 💙

🖤🐾 Happy National Black Cat Day! 🐾🖤

Today, we celebrate the beauty, charm, and magic of black cats!🐱

Contrary to the myths, black cats aren’t bad luck—they’re sweet, loving, and full of personality. Sadly, black cats are often overlooked in shelters, but you can help change that!

On this special day, let’s spread love for these sleek and stunning felines and encourage others to adopt and give them the homes they deserve. 💕

Visit our FB cat adoption album or https://www.tdhs.ca/cats-kittens for more information on the house panthers available for adoption!

Do you have a black cat in your life? Share a photo of your mini panther in the comments and let’s flood the feed with black cat appreciation! 🖤

🐾Cats like Pollie, Pluto, Chasina and Luna Rose - whose one year anniversary with us has either come and gone or is quickly approaching - will call TDHS home for however long it takes to find their purr-fect homes🏠 They are part of our TDHS family until they become part of yours!

Every dollar from the proceeds of our 50/50 Draw goes toward the animals in our care. Whether it's initial medical treatment or ongoing daily care to ensure their health and happiness 😊

🌟We are able to do this because of support from people like YOU!🌟

Being the face of a fundraising campaign can be exhausting! 🥵
Tuco has been hard at work trying to raise funds for the Timmins & District Humane Society emergency medical fund in hopes that money will never be a factor in saving an animal's life. 🐱🐶

"Tuco's Trust" is just one of our fundraising efforts in hopes of always keeping our doors open for all animals in need.

Your purchase of tickets today, not only helps Tuco along with his journey to help others who find themselves in emergency situations, but you're also ensuring that day in and day out homeless animals get the daily care they need.

We couldn't do it without YOU!

🌟Get your tickets before 11:59 p.m. tonight for your chance to win tomorrow AND again at the end of the month! Good luck everyone! 🌟

The world of animal rescue is a rewarding calling that is also often wrought with heartbreak. We see animals come through our doors in all kinds of conditions - some are healthy and vibrant, while others require a lot more medical care and intervention.

But once in a while, a situation occurs that stops you in your tracks.

Recently, five 2-month-old kittens were brought to TDHS, having been found in a cardboard box in the middle of the bush.

Barely old enough to be away from their mother, certainly too young to fend for themselves, the kittens were lucky to be found and brought to the Timmins and District Humane Society for safe haven.

Your continued support of fundraisers like the 50/50 are vital to us continuing to save the lives of animals - just like these kittens.

Purchase your tickets today and you have the chance to win twice! Our Early Bird deadline is Aug. 8th at 11:59 p.m.

Laundry is an non-stop reality at the TDHS, with approximately 80+ animals in our care. With one washer and two dryers running 8-9 hours a day, every day of the year, they get a lot of miles. One of our dryers has unexpectedly stopped working. We are in desperate need of a new or second hand dryer. If you have a second hand dryer that still works well that you are willing to donate, please let us know. Alternately, we would appreciate any monetary donations to put towards a new dryer.

Thank you! Animals, Staff and Volunteers

Sup, human? I’m Kuzco, and I’ve got a little something to ask of you.

Here’s the sitch: If you want to make your life a whole lot better, you should def grab a 50/50 ticket. Why? Cause it’s a win-win. Not only do you get the chance to bring home some cash monies, but you also support a great cause.

Let’s face it, it helped me find my fur-ever home.

Every month, a bunch of us cats come into TDHS and not all of us are lucky enough to have a fam to come spring us loose. But that's ok, cause with your support we get everything we need until that purr-fect family does come!

So go ahead, get that 50/50 ticket. You’ll be making a smart choice, and who knows? Maybe some of that good luck will rub off on us, making our futures even more fantastic.

Purrs and peace signs, Kuzco
