We’re a Society with a big heart.

The Humane Society Hastings Prince Edward is a non-profit animal care shelter serving Hastings & Prince Edward Counties. We are supported by the communities we serve, receiving funding from donations, adoptions, fundraising events, product sales and grants to support our mission to improve and protect the lives of animals in need in our community.

We’re connected by compassion.

Each year we assist as many as 2,200 animals in need and provide a safe, caring environment for stray, surrendered, neglected or abused animals. We also return hundreds of lost animals to their families, adopt out animals who are in need of a new home, provide medical care and advocate against animal cruelty.

Why We Need You

It takes heart. Throughout our 50+ year history, our organization has evolved substantially both as a provider for animals in need and also as a service to the communities we support. As we look toward the future in our new Centre and a Mobile Clinic, with your support we will be equipped to fulfill our mandate in your community. We need your help to provide the best care possible to animals in need.

We need your help to provide the best care possible to animals in need.

We are building a much needed Animal Care and Adoption Centre, with best practices in animal welfare at the core. With your support, we can help more animals, expand our services and give animals and caregivers alike a healthier environment with reduced risk of infection and disease. It will also be a place where bonds between people and animals can flourish – a place where both ends of the leash will benefit!

The new Centre will address the urgent need for improved facilities to care for animals in our region. Located at 34 Wallbridge-Loyalist Road, this fully-accessible facility will feature state-of-the-art infection control, quarantine and quiet areas as well as space for families to meet prospective pets.

Community and Education Centre & Veterinary Clinic

Phase II, The Community and Education Centre, will provide engagement and education opportunities for residents of Hastings and Prince Edward Counties through the delivery of innovative, community-driven programming. Spaces will be available to community groups and businesses. In the future, Phase III will see the addition of a Veterinary Clinic.

Your support is vital to our community

HSHPE is faced with an urgent need to remove volunteers, staff and animals from its current site. Conditions are deplorable and unworkable due to the ongoing deterioration of the existing shelter. Your support now will help build a forever home for your Humane Society.
