The Vancouver Humane Society team knows that the love between a human and their companion animal knows no bounds. That’s why VHS’s companion animal programs focus on keeping loved pets in their homes.
People who are experiencing a period of life with low or no income still love and care for their pet companions. Sadly, animal guardians who cannot afford emergency veterinary care are often faced with an impossible choice: allow their animal to suffer, or surrender them to a shelter to get the care they need.
We know that these aren’t just ‘pets’. They are Harvey, or Sophie, or Clover, or Oliver – individuals who have strong relationships with their families, who offer solace, emotional support, and unconditional love. When these animals get injured or sick, they need a safety net so they can stay in their loving homes. VHS’s programs are here to make sure they get the help they need.

The Vancouver Humane Society does not operate an animal shelter. Instead, VHS’s companion animal programs focus on keeping loved pets with their caring families and out of the overburdened shelter and rescue system.
