Video Tour of the new shelter

Monday, March 17th, 2008

Thanks to our friends at Bahamas Islands Info and Keen i Media Ltd., a Video Tour of the new shelter.

Old shelter

Saturday, March 1st, 2008

Our original building was completed in 1973 and contained 16 indoor/outdoor dog kennels and a handful of cat cages. Over the years we added outdoor dog pens and squeezed in more cat cages, but the building outlived its usefulness and was far too cramped and dilapidated to adequately house the number of animals in need these days.

After years of planning and fundraising, Phase One of our new facility is finally a reality. Construction commenced in earnest in August 2007 and the Grand Opening was held June 21, 3008.  The new Animal Welfare and Adoption Centre is located on 2.5 acres with plenty of room for future expansion.

Please see our Wish List for things we need to equip and furnish our new facility! We also appreciate any financial support as our operating costs have increased.

Humane Society of Grand Bahama unveils new website

The Humane Society of Grand Bahama is pleased to announce the launch of its new website, here at hs-gb.org. While still a little on the rough and ready side, our decision to go with one of the top content management tools, WordPress, will mean that we can get information out to the community quickly and painlessly.

Stay tuned for more information!
