The PEI Humane Society believes that a key component to advancing animal welfare across PEI is the education of its communities in animal care, welfare, and available community supports. Therefore, as the Island’s only animal shelter, we decided to combine our available resources to create the PEIHS Education Program.
This combination of tools, resources, and outreach sources is meant to help Islanders learn and enrich their own lives and that of their pets.

Animal Welfare in Schools
Bringing animal welfare into the classroom
Our team of skilled communicators and animal welfare professionals would love to come chat with your class about any number of subjects impacting animal welfare on PEI. Because there are so many topics to address, we often ask educators to help us narrow down the subject matter.

Pet-Inclusive Housing
Your Pet = Your Family
The PEI Humane Society believes that your pet is your family and should be treated as such. Therefore, we encourage pet owners to know their rights when it comes to pet ownership and provide tools to help pet owners find pet-inclusive housing. Advocating for your pet throughout the home-hunting process can be difficult.

Animal Behaviour
Animals don’t use language to speak with us, so how do we learn to communicate with them?
Learning to read your pet’s body language, vocalizations, and non-verbal cues will help keep both you and your pet happy, healthy, and safe.
Learn more about how to decipher what your pet is trying to tell you, using our body of resources. The PEI Humane Society wants to give you a starting-off point to ensure your bond with your pet remains strong throughout the learning process.
