Alberta Helping Animals Society

Alberta Helping Animals Society (AHAS) is a non-profit society, incorporated in Alberta and registered as a charity with the Canadian Revenue Agency. AHAS was developed to provide access to veterinary care for the companion animals of vulnerable people, defined as low income, marginally housed, disabled, or otherwise disadvantaged. Over 100,000 people in Edmonton are living in poverty and are receiving social services. Some of these people have companion animals and most of these animals have never received veterinary care.

Vision
Wellness for companion animals of vulnerable people in support of the human-animal bond.

Mission
Creating opportunities for vulnerable people to access veterinary care for their companion animals.

Objectives
(1) To provide veterinary care and support for the companion animals of vulnerable people. AHAS Home Veterinary Services provides full veterinary services in clinic and through some house calls.

(2) To increase understanding of controlling companion animal overpopulation, animal wellness and care, animal behaviour, and other topics that promote the human-animal bond and the health and well-being of animals and humans. We will offer public lectures on timely topics in veterinary care. We will also work with target groups to ensure the health and wellbeing of our clients and their companion animals.

Various industries are providing donated vaccines, dewormers, drugs, and supplies. Services are provided by volunteer veterinarians, veterinary technicians, and community people. Please consider donating to support the human-animal bond in our community! Every penny of your donation goes to the animals.
