The Mae Bachur Animal Shelter opened in 1998, and has remained in operation since thanks to our benefactors (more information can be found in our BENEFACTORS page). The Yukon Humane Society is run by a board of directors, and are in charge of various things to help the shelter, including fundraising, maintainace, and long-term goals for animal welfare in the Yukon.

Programs and Services:

The shelter has 18 dog kennels, 2 open cat rooms, and small communal areas to allow social interaction between the residents, and potential adoptive parents. Here are some of the services we offer:

Adoptions:

We find loving homes for every adoptable pet no matter how long it may take. Every animal that arrives at the shelter receives veterinary care, food, and lots of love until a permanent home can be found.

Foster Homes:

The shelter has a "no kill" policy for adoptable pets. This means we are often faced with too many pets and not enough space for them. We have a foster home network that provides care for our over-flow of animals, and those animals that may need special care. We are always in need of foster homes.
