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.

Dear Friends,

I hope this message finds you well. It is with great excitement and gratitude that I introduce myself as the new Executive Director of the Windsor-Essex County Humane Society. This is an incredible honour, and I’m deeply grateful for the strong foundation built by those who have come before me.

The work we’ve done together has already changed so many lives, and I am committed to continuing that legacy while also looking forward to an even brighter future. There’s so much potential ahead, and I’m excited to work alongside all of you to expand our services, improve the care we provide, and grow our impact in the Windsor-Essex community.

Together, we can make a lasting difference for animals waiting for their forever homes, those in need of urgent medical care, and those who simply need love and attention. Your support shapes the future of the Humane Society, helping us remain a beacon of hope for animals in need.

I’d love to hear from you and welcome any thoughts or ideas you may have as we continue this important work together. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or would like to discuss ways to be part of the Humane Society’s future.

Thank you for all that you do to help make a difference.

Warm regards,
Lynnette Bain

Monday Morning Smile!

It's obvious from this photo how happy Pinto Bean is in her new home! Her family tells us that "she is adjusting incredibly well and is such a cuddle bug!"

12 Days of Christmas is back! December 12 through 23, we will have a new promotion each day in the hopes that as many pets as possible can find a home for the holidays! Thank you to our generous sponsor Royal Canin for their continued support of this special adoption campaign.

Sometimes it takes a village to help an animal in distress. Natalie, one of our Animal Protection Officers, got a call about a goose frozen in a large pond in Belle River. It was far out on the thin ice, and there was no way to reach it. Thankfully, Hanna from Green Unlimited Animal Rescue had a kayak and came to help out. They spent hours pushing through the ice and wind to try to get to the goose, and soon two more kind humans who lived in the area - Dave and Katie - came to help. After 3.5 hours of intense and freezing teamwork, the goose was finally rescued and brought to Wings Rehab Centre to recover!

Thank you to everyone who donated on Giving Tuesday, and those who contributed to our Giving Tuesday Karunda Bed campaign! Because of you, the shelter dogs will be sleeping on brand new beds in the new year!

12/03/2024

We are thrilled to announce that we have well surpassed our goal of $11,250 to purchase new Karunda beds for all the dog kennels in shelter. We raised an incredible $25,793!

Any additional funds raised will go directly toward supporting our dog program, including funding medical care, food, kennel upgrades and training to ensure they're ready for their forever homes.

The generosity of our supporters never fails to warm our hearts. If you'd like to make this an even better Giving Tuesday and would like to give an additional gift to support shelter pets over the holiday season, visit https://windsorhumane.org/make-a-donation/

Monday Morning Smile!

Kelly and Steve started off as fosters for Aston, but quickly fell in love. "My partner Steve and I took Aston home as a foster for a couple weeks back in April. By the end of the month he was officially ours and he now goes by Ted!

Ted is a meatball. He’s goofy, curious, smart as heck and determined. We have continued to work hard with him to build upon the great foundation the Humane Society team had created. He has come such a long way and has been on some great adventures this year that have helped to build his confidence. His favourite activities include toys, passing gas, bird watching (specifically geese flying overhead) and splooting off the couch like a seal. We look forward to many more years of his unfolding personality and companionship."

Our Santa Photos wrapped up last week, and our most unique visitor was definitely Buttertort the Tortoise! As you can see, he was very excited to meet Santa, and apparently his Christmas wish is for a new big screen TV for his habitat.

We are running low on these brands of treats for the dogs in the shelter! We only give specific brands of treats that are either one-ingredient, or limited ingredient, as they're easier on digestion. The shelter can be a stressful environment for dogs, so preventing upset stomachs and diarrhea/vomiting is important.

We use these high-value treats as rewards for training, helping nervous dogs come out of their shells, pairing "scary" things with something really positive to overcome fears, and to work their noses during enrichment time! Plus, the one-ingredient freeze dried treats can also be given to our kitty friends!

We are hoping for donations of the following:
- Benny's Bully's: These are excellent one-ingredient treats, and are available at most pet stores or online.
- Dog Delights (specifically the CHEWY version) are our go-to, and are available on Amazon and their website.
- Chewmasters Freeze Dried Liver Treats: Another great for one-ingredient high value treat option, available on Amazon.

Our volunteers will also be on site for our annual Stuff a Van event - help us fill a shelter van with supplies for the animals staying at the shelter over the holidays.

Our Christmas ornaments are now available for purchase at the shelter! These make the perfect gift for any animal lover in your life. We have three styles at three price levels to choose from. Available in shelter while supplies last. All proceeds support shelter pets over the holiday season!
