Trevor will be rehabilitated

We met in court today to hear from Dr. Shelley Breadner, the veterinary behaviouralist who assessed Trevor. The outcome of todayʼs court hearing was very positive. Trevor will be given the opportunity to be rehabilitated. We will be working with Dr. Breadner over the coming weeks to establish a rehabilitation plan for Trevor.

We are now actively looking for a suitable adoptive home with someone in the Whitehorse area who is able and willing to commit to Trevorʼs rehabilitation and management plan. If you are interested in knowing more about this, or you would like to take a role in shaping Trevorʼs future, please contact Humane Society Yukonʼs Board of Directors at humanesocietyyukon@gmail.com.

The Board of Directors and staff of Humane Society Yukon would like to extend our immense gratitude in welcoming Carrie Burbidge, Barrister & Solicitor, onto our ʽTrevor team.ʼ Carrie has supported and advised us in recent weeks, without charge, and her expert advice has truly been invaluable. She will be acting as our solicitor as the rehabilitation process makes its way through the court. Thank you, Carrie!

We also wish to express our heartfelt thanks to the many volunteers, donors, and supporters who have helped us in our efforts to save Trevor. We could never have done it without you!
