Unprecedented Number of Puppies Needing Homes

Media Release

November 1, 2024

The large number of puppies currently in RHS care is stretching the Society's resources and space, making community support critical. Every adoption makes a real difference, both for the puppies and for the continued work of RHS in rescuing and rehabilitating animals in need.

"We currently have 43 puppies in care and expect several more in the coming days. It's something we've never experienced before," said Bill Thorn, Director of Marketing and Public Relations for the Regina Humane Society. "Each of these little ones deserves a warm, safe, and loving home, and we hope the community will open their hearts to help make that happen."

In an effort to find homes quickly, the RHS is implementing reduced adoption fees for all puppies at just $75 to help make the adoption process easier for potential pet parents. Each adoption includes spay/neuter surgery, vaccinations, microchip, tattoo and a post-adoption veterinary exam, saving the adopter well over $800 for the adopter.

All available pets can be seen on the RHS website, or in person at the RHS Animal Community Centre, 4900 Parliament Avenue, Tuesday-Sunday, Noon to 6 p.m.
