GUELPH, ON (November 27, 2023) — Donations made towards the Guelph Humane Society will be doubled until midnight Giving Tuesday on November 28.

“If you’ve ever thought about donating to help Guelph and Wellington County’s most vulnerable animals, this is a great time to make a difference,” said Lisa Veit, GHS Executive Director. “Animals arrive at GHS in need of hope, care and compassion each day, and it is only because of the kindness of our community that we can be here for the animals with nowhere else to go.” 

GUELPH, ON (November 10, 2023) It was a paw-sitively enchanting evening with 300 guests attending the Guelph Humane Society’s (GHS) Happy Tails Gala – Mardi Paws Masquerade, proudly presented by Speedy Auto Service Guelph.

Held on November 4 and focused on making connections ‘From Hope to Home’, the evening showcased the instrumental role GHS provides each day in meeting the needs of our community and raised more than $135,000 in net proceeds to support animals with nowhere else to turn.

It is with a heavy heart that I share some sad news about Archie, the beloved kitten that our entire community rallied behind when he came into GHS’s care just before Thanksgiving Weekend.

While Archie’s prognosis was initially promising, he passed away earlier this week.

Archie was so special to us, and to all of you, and the support of our community allowed us to provide vital veterinary care to address the serious injuries he suffered after being hit by a car. Archie initially recovered well following surgery to repair his fractured jaw. He subsequently suffered a ruptured bladder that developed the following week and we provided a second emergency surgery to repair it.

We are heartbroken that despite our dedicated efforts, Archie developed complications that he was unable to fight through.

Archie, an 8-week-old kitten, was found on the side of a road in Wellington County. Having been hit by a vehicle, he has experienced tremendous injuries and needs your support today. 

He has a broken jaw and a fractured eye socket. He is currently on a feeding tube to help him heal, and your support is needed now to help Archie return to the quality of life that he deserves. Archie will be in a veterinary hospital for the next four days, spending his first Thanksgiving alone without family.
