Give a gift for animals this Giving Tuesday

Your gift helps animals!

Vancouver Humane Society is partnering with The Happy Herd Farm Sanctuary this Giving Tuesday to make life better for animals!

Between now and November 28, you can donate directly to our joint campaign. We are also looking for businesses and individuals to support this campaign through matched giving donations. Check out our sponsorship package for more details.

Every supporter that donates towards the Giving Tuesday campaign will be entered into a prize draw for the chance to win one of four prizes: a $25 gift card to The Burrow, a $50 gift card to Vegan Supply, a $100 gift card to Wild Jasmine Apothecary, or a prize package of five classes at both Lagree West and RIDE Cycle Club.

How your donation helps

The Happy Herd provides a loving home to over 65 animals rescued from the farming industry. 

In 2023, the welcomed Noodles, a 2-week-old goat who suffers from a neurological disorder, a goat named Percy, and three chicks. Inflation has had a huge effect on Happy Herd’s costs this year. Hay has doubled in price, and previously donated produce is now being charged for. Rising costs of gas have pushed hoof trimming and shearing services up by 25% since last year. Happy Herd has even lost access to straw that had typically been donated from movie sets due to the SAG-AFTRA strikes, creating an unexpected additional expense for the sanctuary. 

Your generous support of this campaign will have a lasting impact on the lives of the animals who call The Happy Herd home.

Since 1984, the Vancouver Humane Society has been supporting individuals, organizations, and governments to take action for the welfare and rights of animals influenced by human activities. Whether advocating against rodeo cruelty, providing emergency vet funds for companion animals in low income homes, offering resources to help people and businesses choose plant-based options, or lobbying for policies that minimize harm to animals, VHS is dedicated to ending animal suffering in all forms. All donations to VHS will go directly toward vital programs and advocacy work in order to create a kinder world for all animals.

Thank you so much for your support of both of our organizations!
