Non profit event to stop elephant poaching

The Helping Paws Foundation keeps military families united with their pets. All too often, troops who are willing to pay the ultimate price can’t afford to pay unexpected veterinary bills. We give back by providing low and no-cost veterinary care for service members and veterans in need. Our 501(c)(3) works to prevent premature relinquishment, or worse yet, economic euthanasia.

The Peterborough Humane Society, a registered charitable organization dependent on public donations, was established in 1941. As an Affiliated Society of the OSPCA, with the mandate to facilitate and provide for the prevention of cruelty to animals and their relief therefrom, our Humane Society offers a wide range of vital services to the community. Working in cooperation with many agencies and departments we continue promoting responsible pet ownership concepts through community outreach, one-on-one encounters with residents and the use of legal action as the last resort. Approximately 1,500 animals are received at the shelter each year, many of which are lost, injured or abandoned. While in our care they are provided with food, care, shelter and lots of love and attention. We speak for those who cannot speak for themselves. The Peterborough Humane Society is grateful to our supporters, staff, and volunteers for their wonderful support and dedication.

The Society operates the Seymour River Fish Hatchery and Education Centre which is located on the Seymour River just below the Seymour Falls Dam in North Vancouver, BC. In 1961, the construction of the Seymour Falls Dam removed access to 60% of the river from migrating salmon but more importantly has also resulted in the loss of 90% of the original spawning habitat. To mitigate this effect, the Society has been instrumental in the creation of new spawning, wintering and rearing habitat along much of the lower river. The Society supplements Seymour stocks of fish through rearing and releasing Steelhead Trout, Coho, Chum, Chinook and Pink salmon. Since 2005, we have been especially involved in research projects involving radio tracking adult Steelhead and looking at early marine survival of Steelhead smolts that are migrating to the ocean.
