Community Outreach Director, Halifax Humane Society
The Humane Society Board of Directors met on Friday, Nov. 4, to address a number of factors which are currently making it very difficult for our team to carry out our mission, and the shelter has challenging days ahead.
One of the biggest issues we face is overpopulation. There are more dogs coming in than going out. We are also facing contractual and legal hurdles which are further complicating our ability to strike a balance between dog intake and dog adoption.
In the days ahead, we will be working diligently to create a plan which ensures that our policies and procedures align with both our mission and the current environment at the shelter.
As we steadfastly seek solutions to our many challenges, we are asking the community to aid us in our time of need. This Monday, we ask you to help us illuminate our needs, tour our shelter, and perhaps even take home one of our adoptable dogs. Our staff will be available to answer any questions and facilitate a meet and greet. All adoption fees will be waived.
We appreciate your patience as we seek to reestablish balance at the Humane Society once again.
