Windsor/Essex County Humane Society The official page of the Windsor/Essex County Humane Society. We can't help them without your support.

We rely on public and corporate donations and fundraising campaigns to support our humane operations. The generosity of the community we serve helps us support the animals in our care and allows us to offer a wide range of programs and services. These services include cruelty investigations, humane education, assisting distressed and abused animals (domestic and wild), pet food bank, and our owned animal and feral spay and neuter programs.

It’s not just domestic animals that we provide lifesaving medical care for here at WECHS! It was clear when our animal protection officer picked up a raccoon with a leg trap crushing his paw, that this poor guy required urgent medical attention. Our medical team acted quickly, sedating the raccoon to allow for the safe removal of the trap from his paw. Prior to transfer to our friends at Wings Rehab Centre, we provided pain medication and parasite treatment to give him the best chance of a making a full recovery.

Jem was recently adopted, and her family sent us these adorable photos of her enjoying the season! "With her love of leaves and her fur colors we decided to rename Jem to Autumn..... She loves playing with tennis balls and jumping into piles of leaves as well as carrying them around in her mouth. She's a really funny girl, she super playful, so sweet and likes to cuddle up to you for a nap. We are so happy to have this beautiful girl with us and so excited to spend her first Christmas with her."

If you frequent our website, or Yay For Strays Cat Cafe , you probably recognize these kitties. They've been waiting a LONG time for their furever home, so we wanted to re-introduce them to you in the hopes that someone out there in facebook land might be the family these cats have been looking for.

Tippy and Toddy are a bonded pair who have been staying at the Cafe since February. Tippy is a very friendly guy who loves to be pet and people watch. Toddy is extremely affectionate, and adores being brushed and getting head scratches.

Buttermilk is slowly learning to enjoy human interaction, and has come a long way in toning down his sassy attitude. He's not a beginner cat, so someone who understands cat body language and has lots of patience would be best for this boy.

Kika is... well... spicy. She enjoys swatting at humans who try to pet her, but we hope that when shown the love and kindness of a patient home, she will come around.

Tangy and Oktoberfest are a bonded pair who are also longtime residents of the Cafe. Tangy is a gentle guy who loves to curl up next to people and get lots of pets. Oktoberfest is a shy guy who prefers to observe rather than get in on the action, but will warm up to you in time.

Please share, and help us find these long time residents a home!

With the thousands of dogs who have come through our doors over the years, you can probably imagine the wear and tear on our Karunda dog beds. From anxious chewers, to big puppers tearing holes in the beds, these beds have been put through the ringer.

So why Karunda? Why not big fluffy soft beds? Well, as nice as those soft beds are, they are just not feasible for the shelter environment as they’d need nearly daily washing – something our machines just can’t handle. Not to mention the fluff explosions from doggos who treat their beds like a giant chew toy! Karunda beds are perfect, as they are easily disinfected with water and soap, dry quickly, and can be made cozy with a few blankets. They get the dogs up off the cement when sleeping, and make for a more pleasant stay for our canine friends while they wait for their forever home.

Donate today to help us purchase these much needed beds!

UPDATE: We have more than enough blankets now. Thank you so much to everyone who donated!

We are running low on blankets! If you have some to spare, please stop by with clean towels and blankets to keep the animals here cozy. We ask that you not bring any comforters, oversized blankets or stuffed blankets, as the doggos enjoy tearing those up and they're very difficult to clean.
