PRESS RELEASE  - Happening soon!  Our Shelter plans are being finalized!!  Our goal to start digging September of 2012 is looking closer and closer to a reality!  Now we need your help!  We still need to raise $90,000.00 to reach our PHASE 1 $300,000.00 goal.  We still have a couple rooms available in the Naming Rights program and all donations toward shelter funds are greatly appreciated.  On March 3, 2012 we will be in the mall with our new plans and some exciting news for our shelter!  Stay tuned and come on down to see us on March 3, 2012 at the mall!! 

You can get together with friends and family, to buy a room, or raise funds for the shelter.  Children have donated their birthday parties to Parkland Humane Society, others have bought a brick, for themselves, or their children or in memory of a loved one or an animal that has passed.  There are so many ways to donate please consider donating to us to help us build this much needed shelter in the parkland area.  You can also become a member and help us yearly with a membership to help continue to rescue animals in this area. 

Phase II will be another 200,000.00 to complete.  If we can raise that as well by September, we can build Phase I and Phase II without delay!  Tell everyone you know, everyone will get a Tax Deductible Receipt for a minimum of $10.00 donations. 

The board has been working very hard the past few months with letters to the City of Dauphin, and newspapers, and other shelters in hopes to get some assistance in the shocking tax assessment that PHS received. A $13,000.00 annual tax assessment would mean NO shelter for Dauphin and the Parkland. President Denise Penrose, along with board members, friends, and family members worked diligently on ways to overcome this obstacle. Letters were written to Government officials, newspapers, and several to the City of Dauphin. PHS presented a proposal to the city of Dauphin in order to assist with this huge annual tax assessment. Thankfully after many letters were sent in and emails to the city prior to the scheduled meeting, the City of Dauphin has accepted PHS's proposal.
PHS has recently created a Grant committee in order to help assist in applying and finding as many grant options as possible for the building and running of a shelter. This committee is run by Denise Penrose and on the committee is Debbi Sorochynski, , Joelle Belanger, Jill Forbes, Tamara Rossin, Monique Snow and Karen Jaeb .  Grant Committee is currently working on applications to the Thomas Sill Foundation and Community Places.

It has been decided by the board of PHS to create a space in our shelter for a Doggie Day Care to help generate an income for shelter expenses.

Other areas are still in need! We are still in need of more foster homes and volunteers to help fund-raise and build a shelter! If you are interested please feel free to join our meetings. They are the third Wednesday of each month currently at Dauphin Vet Clinic at 5:30 PM.   Any questions please feel free to email or call us at 638-6966.
