Our Location and Hours
Want to help but you just can't adopt right now? Do the next best thing and sponsor a pet! It costs an average of $180 per pet (often times more!!) for the shelter to keep the animals until they can find a home. Please help us out and sponsor a pet of your choice or there is the option of making a donation instead. Every little bit helps! The animals need you!

Featured Pets
Hi! My name is Rocco. I am a young male German Shepherd/Staffordshire Terrier cross. I arrived at the shelter on January 12th, after a nice man noticed I wasn't being cared for very well. I was taken from my home which makes me sad, but I hope I can find a new one that will treat me better! I deserve it so much, as I am a smart dog. I am house trained, and relatively quiet. I am a pretty good boy!!
We have some other fantastic dogs that also need their forever homes! We usually have a variety of all ages and breeds! If you are looking for a dog, remember needy dogs sometimes make the very best companions!!
Hello there, my name is Manny. I am a male Domestic Shorthair kitten, almost a baby still! I am quite a cute little guy if I do say so myself. I am timid and shy, I will hide from people I don't know. I am starting to come around and warm up to people though. I am sure I could do very well if someone would take the time to give me the love I deserve! When you pick me up I purr and purr, I love to cuddle! I don't want to grow up in the shelter. As great as the shelter people are, I need a family of my own!
We are currently OVERCROWDED with cats/kittens that need their forever homes! Big, small, fat, thin, seniors, kittens, adolescents, independant, affectionate, playful, we have them all! We are very sure that you will be able to find your new companion in our facility so please, if you are wanting a cat come down and help us save a life! Please help us with our cat population so that we can give these cats a chance at a happy home.
PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL ANIMALS ADOPTED FROM OUR SHELTER ARE REQUIRED TO BE FIXED! THIS IS NOT OPTIONAL.

Shelter News
Shelter News The shelter is in desperate need of cat food! If you can help us, we like to keep our kitties on a steady diet of Whiskas, Friskies, Iams, or vet brand foods. This helps keep their tummies happy! (which in turn makes us happy when we have to clean litter boxes...!!!) We would appreciate your help very much!
Do you have experience training dogs? If so, we could use your help! If you know how to train dogs basic commands/good manners we need someone who would be willing to volunteer their time, about 1/2 hour each time they come (or more, depending on how many dogs need your help). Some of our dogs have no training and it would be doing them a HUGE favor to have someone come in and teach them so that they can be adopted! If you are interested please contact the shelter!
Our Kitten Program is on, meaning you only pay the spay/neuter deposit and no adoption fee. You will get the deposit back once proof of sterilization has been shown. These cute little kitties will need very good homes soon!
Donations are always appreciated! We currently need:
Cat food (Whiskas, Friskies, Iams, or vet food is preferred but will take all!!), dry or wet
Dog food (Pedigree, Purina, Iams, Kibbles and Bits, or vet food is preferred, but will take all!!), dry only please

A Little Bit of History
The Estevan Humane Society was formed in 1994 by a handful of compassionate people who cared for the well-being of our fellow creatures. At the shelter, our goal has always been to care for unwanted animls and to give them a second chance. At the Estevan Humane Society, the animals come first. We are an organization that relies on the assistance of volunteers and donations. We hold fundraising events and organize other campaigns to raise money in order to keep the Humane Society's doors open to any animals in need.
A Little Bit of History
The staff at the Estevan Humane Society strive to provide, a safe, loving, place for animals to stay while their waiting to find forever homes. All of our pets are cared for daily, 365 days a year! The dogs have two big yards to take turns running in, and the cats are let out of their kennels for up to 4 hrs a day! There is lots of socialization time, and the staff try to spend as much time with them as possible, as well as the volunteers who help us. Along with being cared for daily by the staff, the animals also get to interact with eachother as much as possible in order to make their stay a happy one!
We have an awesome board of directors who help us to keep this shelter going! They provide us with weekly trips to purchase our cleaning supplies, and other things that are needed down here. They also handle the fundraising and come together to make sure the shelter keeps its doors open for animals in need.
Adopting A Friend
The Estevan Humane Society is dedicated to the well-being of animals and strives to place neglected, abused and abandoned animals in caring, compassionate homes that can provide all the necessities and love a good friend needs. To ensure this, there is a mandatory adoption questionaire for potential adoptors to fill out, followed by a 48 hour waiting period. The questionaire includes basic information as well as more specific information and references that will help us determine the suitability of the potential home.
Adopting A Friend
Adoption fees are as follows:
$75.00 for a spayed/neutered cat
$160.00 for a spayed/neutered dog
If you are from out of town or adopting an animal that is too young to be altered, a $75.00 deposit is required but is refunded once sterilization of the animal has been proven. Adoption fees for unaltered animals are as follows:
*Please note that we can accept cash only*
$50 adoption fee + $75 deposit (Total $125) for dogs
$40 adoption fee + $75 deposit (Total $115) for cats.
Having your pet spayed or neutered means controlling the pet population which results in less unwanted animals.
NOTE: THE ESTEVAN HUMANE SOCIETY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REFUSE ANY ADOPTION.
Come and visit the many potentially loving friends that we have in our shelter. We are located in Estevan's South-east side valley region, where the Brick Yard Wildlife Refuge Park used to operate. Please feel free to stop by either to adopt a companion, drop off a donation or volunteer your time.
We are open to the public from 10:30 to 11:30 am and from 5:30 to 7:30 pm weekdays. On weekends we are open from 5:30 to 7:30 pm.
