Thank You

As I imagine you've heard, after 22 years, I’ve made the difficult decision to retire from the Ottawa Humane Society in late November. It has nothing to do with the OHS, and it actually has very little to do with working. I just can’t take Ottawa winters anymore.

I’m taking a lot of memories with me, but the strongest memories will always be about the people I’ve met and worked with over the years. The OHS has always been incredibly fortunate to have the time, talent, and passion of an outstanding group of volunteers. So much of what the OHS has achieved over the decades —lives saved, second chances, a caring community — were possible only because of you.

I will always be grateful when I think of you and I will always remember what you have done.

Thank You for Wiggling With Us!

Last Sunday, the Wiggle Waggle Walk & Run returned for the first time in more than two years! Thank you so much to everyone who helped out on the day of the event, participated, or made a donation to the animals. We can’t wait to do it again next year.

A huge thank you to our amazing youth volunteers who made this year’s summer camps a huge success. We have to give a special shout out to Vrinda and David for going above and beyond and demonstrating excellent leadership and initiative.

Doing More for Dogs in Need 
Our canine behaviour intervention volunteers are an important part of helping dogs who have challenging behaviours. These volunteers work one-on-one with dogs to provide training that helps them adjust to life in the shelter and find their forever family even faster.
