Iqaluit Humane Society

The only Humane Society/Shelter in Nunavut shut down a couple of months ago due to lack of funding.  It is in no way government funded, so it relies on donations, which obviously there was not enough of.

There isn't even a single vet up here.  If you want shots for your dog you have to fly it to Ottawa.  If they put a dog down (which is often now that there is no shelter), they take it to the dump and shoot it.


Right now they are trying to raise money through an insurance company's competition that gives money to the causes with the most votes.  Please take a minute to vote, you can go through facebook or create a quick account.  You can vote once a day for the next 2 weeks.  Its free, and might bring the only shelter back to Nunavut.
