Wood Buffalo Humane Society’s 4th Annual Masquerade Ball

This formal event provides essential funding to the Wood Buffalo Humane Society’s (formerly the Fort McMurray SPCA) programs which serve a diverse group of Wood Buffalo residents from the youngest to our seniors – connecting lives and strengthening resiliency for pet-owning households across the region who rely on their non-human family members for important social and mental health supports. While their programs work to improve and enhance well-being and education through the human-animal bond, the physical shelter also provides a safe haven for homeless animals who are provided with medical intervention, enrichment, nutritious food and more as the organization works to rehome companion animals through their comprehensive adoption program. Your sponsorship strengthens a continuum of care and connection across the diverse region we call home.
