Ottawa Humane Society Supports Partners in Animal Rescue
March 31, 2022 — In early 2020, the Ottawa Humane Society created the OHS Partner Support Program to support local animal rescue partners and help provide for Ottawa’s animals throughout the public health crisis.
The OHS Partner Support Program has helped more than 7,200 animals in the care of more than 20 local partners — helping with projects like: acquiring mobile care unit equipment to care for farm animals, providing medications and medical supplies for birds and providing behaviour support for dogs in need.
Originally created to ensure no animal was left behind during the public health crisis, the OHS has laid plans to make the program permanent.
“More can be done for the animals when people who care work together,” said Bruce Roney, OHS President & CEO. “The OHS Partner Support Program is one of our methods of investing in building a caring and compassionate community for all.”
Local animal rescue organizations that meet OHS partner requirements may submit an application to the OHS Partner Support Program to receive a modest grant to help support the animals in their care.
Applications for the program’s next grant cycle begin on May 1. Animal rescue organizations interested in applying can reach out to Lindsey Marcon, OHS manager: community services for more information.
