Overview

The Revelstoke District Humane Society (RDHS) is a registered, non-profit organization dedicated to improving the welfare of animals through programs and services in sheltering, education and protection in the city of Revelstoke. Operating costs are supported by adoption fees, grants, donations, and various community fundraising activities and events.

RDHS exists in partnership with the Animal Control bylaw division of the City of Revelstoke, which owns the shelter on Tenth Street. Animal Control is responsible for impounding dogs and reuniting them with their owners. Dogs that cannot be reunited are released into the RDHS adoption program. RDHS is responsible for sheltering and reuniting lost cats and for overseeing the adoption program for abandoned cats and dogs in our care.

All animals entering the RDHS adoption program are brought to the Revelstoke Veterinary Clinic for a health check and are spayed/neutered, dewormed, defleaed, vaccinated, and microchipped where necessary. Our priority is to find homes best suited to the temperament of the animal. When funding and needs align, RDHS helps subsidize the spaying and neutering of pets in the Revelstoke community (learn more).
