The Humane Society Yukon (HSY) says it’s hard at work finding homes for animals.

Since Jan. 1, 74 animals have been adopted into their “FurEver” home, the society reported this week.

Thirty-seven animals are currently in care at the Mae Bachur Animal Shelter, comprised of eight cats and 29 dogs.

“These incredible adoptive families are but one example of strong community support exemplifying the HSY vision of ‘a compassionate and caring community where the safety and well-being of animals is valued and protected,’” the society said.

The Tlingit Street shelter opened in November 1998.

The society’s new strategic plan provides “an ambitious and exciting framework towards ‘pawsitive transitions’ and a path to create a sustainable financial model,” the society said.

“This important goal is paramount to the ongoing success of the HSY.”

“We thank the Yukon Government Department of Environment for their ongoing funding support,” added society president Barb Hancock.

“This is a critical foundation upon which we can build additional funding sponsorships and donations to support the services offered at the shelter and work towards having a sustainable financial model.”

Community partners make it all possible, the society added.

Individual volunteers, local businesses, sponsors, municipalities and all levels of government are invaluable, it added.

“We look forward to actioning our strategic plan to grow our volunteer base, increase sponsorships, donations and fundraising opportunities to make this great community organization even more vibrant.”
