After 96 years the Lincoln County Humane Society is changing its name.
The animal welfare organization will now be known as the Humane Society of Greater Niagara.
Originally formed in 1927, the Humane Society has seen its service area expand across the region in recent years.
Kevin Strooband, Executive Director says, “Through the expansion of our service area, we continue to provide excellent animal care to those animals who may be homeless, sick or injured. As a leader in animal welfare and a trusted organization in our community, the Humane Society of Greater Niagara will always work in the best interests of animals, as we continue to speak for those who cannot speak.”
The Humane Society has programs which assist pet owners who are experiencing homelessness, the need for medical treatment, including mental health concerns or assisting individuals escaping domestic abuse situations, operate unmatched in Niagara and provide a vital lifeline for our vulnerable community members.
