About Us

We are devoted to providing animals with a chance at the life they deserve — an opportunity for a home that lasts. We strive to provide nurturing and compassionate care for animals in need by providing services such as surrender management, adoption support and fostering programs.

What We Do

We believe all animals deserve a chance at finding the perfect companion and forever home. We understand that every pet has its own story — whether it's in search of adventurers or cuddle buddies to watch Netflix together with — each furry friend deserves someone who best understands their needs and provides unconditional love. Our mission is to help them achieve just that!

Our History

May 1980- SPCA incorporated no local grants or funding from organizations or municipalities.
May 7, 1986- humane Society president met with city council to discuss possibility of establishing an animal shelter in the community.
October 31, 1986- Humane Society of the Battlefords incorporated.
June 29, 1987- animal shelter, officially opens.
The animal shelter started off small, it started off as what is now the health unit. This meant the shelter was very limited in the amount of animals it could house.
From approximately 1995 until 2000 there were numerous animals which were humanely, put down due to disease outbreak and not having room to house the animals.
In approximately the year 2005, the Humane Society became a no kill shelter, and the vaccination program and span neuter program were implemented. Prior to this when animals were adopted, there was an agreement made with people to ensure their animals were spayed and neutered, and they were given a reduced rate at the vet.

Our Management Team

Our incredible animal shelter/care team is the driving force behind our success. We are truly grateful for their dedication, kindness and generous contributions of time that make a huge difference in the lives of many animals.

Help be the Change in an Animal's Life

Each animal currently available for adoption has his or her own special story and some have yet to feel the comfort and security of a loving home. You're not just adopting a pet, you're saving a life.
