Cochrane & Area Humane Society

Cochrane & Area Humane Society Meet your new best friend at the Cochrane & Area Humane Society! Dogs receive training and behaviour assistance to make them good canine citizens.

The Cochrane & Area Humane Society provides food, shelter, medical care and the opportunity for adoption for unwanted, surrendered, lost and unclaimed animals, while promoting responsible pet ownership through educational programs, rural spay/neuter programs and public fundraising events. At the Cochrane & Area Humane Society, homeless animals receive food, shelter, medical care, spay/neuter surgery, permanent identification and the chance for adoption into a new home. Lost pets are reunited with their guardians and the Society creates humane education programs to promote responsible pet guardianship. Children participate in Day Camps and victims of domestic violence are helped through the Pet Safe Program. Each year thousands of people call or come through our doors to surrender, adopt, claim lost pets, volunteer, seek advice, training or assistance, utilize our resource centre, attend humane education programs or make donations. We take in approximately 1,100 animals every year and are happy that we are able to successfully place or return home over 90% of them.

The hard truth of neonatal care 💔
They don’t all make it.

These kittens were abandoned shortly after birth, cold, hungry, and alone. Our team stepped in immediately, providing round-the-clock care, bottle feedings, and everything we could. Despite every effort, we sadly lost some of them.

Even when the outcome isn’t what we hope for, we show up. And we can only do that because of your support.

Monthly donations help fund lifesaving care like staffing, medications, and critical supplies.
If you’re able, make a meaningful impact for animals like these kittens 🐾

Join our PAWS monthly donation program.
