PG Humane Society facing record-low donations; unveil new fundraiser

The Prince George Humane Society (PGHS) is launching the TAILS OF TRIUMPH FUNDRAISER, a month-long initiative aimed at providing second chances for vulnerable animals in the Prince George-area.

The campaign kicks off today (Monday) and will wrap-up January 15th.

“At the PG Humane Society, we strive to create a brighter future for animals in need. This fundraiser is not just about raising funds but also about building a community that continues to care deeply about animal welfare,” said Angela McLaren, Executive Director of the PG Humane Society.

“We’re excited to bring together animal lovers and advocates to make a real difference in the lives of vulnerable
animals.”

In the past year, the PG Humane Society has faced a significant rise in animal surrenders while donations have hit a record low. Rising operational costs—especially for veterinary care—have added strain to the charity’s resources.

“Veterinary care is essential to ensuring the health and well-being of the animals we rescue, and your support will help provide them with the medical attention they need. Now more than ever, we need the community’s help to continue our life-saving work,” said McLaren.

A fundraising goal of $40,000 has been set.
