What Legacy Gifts have done for the Animals
- Legacy gifts have built the Ottawa Humane Society’s veterinary clinic, restored animals to health and ensured that animals do not contribute to the tragic results of animal overpopulation.
- Legacy gifts have bought emergency vehicles and equipment, rescued animals from abuse, from danger and from death.
- Legacy gifts allowed us to improve the quality of our shelter, its air and its capacity, so that animals do not become ill, and allowing us to never turn away an animal in need.
- Legacy gifts have created security for the Ottawa Humane Society and the animals in our care and one day we hope that legacy gifts will help us create a new home for Ottawa’s animals.
