The Brandon Humane Society has been in operation since 1946 when it was founded by Eleanor Kidd. She originally housed the shelter in her garage on 13th Street, then in an abandoned stable near Empress Bay, and later in an old barn near the riverbank where Eleanor Kidd Gardens are now located. In 1997, the shelter moved to its new premises at 2200 17th Street East. These days, our residents-both cats and dogs-live in a comfortable building with heat and air conditioning, two large exercise yards, an enclosed cat patio, and enough kennels for 20 cats and 13 dogs. When our kennels are full, our dedicated volunteers foster animals in their own homes. Since this is a no-kill shelter, the atmosphere is very positive... our animals are loved and well cared for as they wait to be adopted. We invite you to come visit us and see for yourself! Our Mandate. The Brandon Humane Society's constitution states that the Society :-has the primary purpose of providing aid and assistance to companion animals,-will accept unwanted companion animals into the shelter when space is available,-will make every effort to find homes for animals in our care,-and will educate the public on companion animal needs, especially the importance of sterilization.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Economic Co-operation and Development
CONT

The wide scope of development cooperation complicates performance reporting. Tangible results are more easily quantified(e. g. access to water, food aid). For other initiatives, results may be more qualitative and long-term(e. g. human capacity building, democratic development).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Coopération et développement économiques
CONT

L'étendue du champ de la coopération au développement complique la préparation de rapports sur le rendement. Il est plus facile de quantifier les résultats concrets (accès à l'eau, aide alimentaire, etc.) que les autres. Dans certains cas, les résultats sont davantage qualitatifs et n'apparaissent qu'à long terme (p. ex. dans le cas d'interventions axées sur le développement des ressources humaines ou sur le développement démocratique).

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Cooperación y desarrollo económicos
CONT

El amplio alcance de la cooperación en favor del desarrollo complica la preparación de los informes sobre el rendimiento. Resulta más fácil cuantificar los resultados concretos (el acceso al agua, la ayuda alimentaria, etc.) que el resto. En algunas iniciativas, los resultados son más bien cualitativos y no se manifiestan más que a largo plazo (por ej.: en las intervenciones en favor del desarrollo de recursos humanos, el desarrollo democrático).
