Every year, WECHS makes a difference in the lives of thousands of local animals in need, domesticated and wild. In 2021 alone, we treated, housed, rescued, reunited or cared for more than 14,400 animals.
As a registered not-for-profit charity, we rely on the support and generosity of the community, our partners, donors, and the success of our fundraisers and campaigns to be able to continue the important work we do.

Whiskers & Wishes 2021
In 2021, Whiskers & Wishes raised approximately $50,000 through its inaugural campaign. Funds from this campaign went directly towards the care of animals in need and the operation of our shelter.
Through this campaign, WECHS has made it even simpler for anyone who wants to support the animals, whether it’s contributing to our direct digital mail campaign, hosting a food or supply drive, making a holiday donation or hosting a holiday event in honour of the WECHS. These are more than fun events, these are all “gifts of hope,” for the animals in our community.
