Mission Statement
Our mission is to be a community leader in modeling, educating, and providing for the safety and well-being of animals. Our four core pillars are to: - foster and model a caring, compassionate atmosphere - to promote animal welfare, protection, and safety - to promote a humane ethic and responsible pet ownership - to operate one or more animal shelters for the protection and safety of neglected and surrendered cats and dogs
About This Cause
Humane Society Yukon was founded in 1987 out of dire necessity from reports and incidents of unwanted and neglected animals in the Yukon with no existing facility or organization to help them. The organization originally consisted of nothing more than a fenced-in dog area on rural acreage and a telephone line set up by caring community members. In 1989, Humane Society Yukon was officially registered as a non-profit society in the Yukon. Our name derives from a generous animal lover, Mae Bachur, who left her legacy fund to construct our building which is still in operation today. Humane Society Yukon takes cats and dogs from communities across the Yukon by staff who are dedicated to the professional care of their physical needs and emotional well-being. We consider ourselves the little shelter that could, with a little help from our friends. We depend on our generous community and donors to help us with vet care, housing, pet food, and amenities and we are immensely grateful for all their loving and kind support. We are committed to assisting the community in any way we can for the continued health and welfare of animals in the Yukon. Our vision is a compassionate and caring community where the safety and well-being of animals are valued and protected.
