The Thompson Humane Society is now called the Thompson Regional Humane Society.

The organization made a presentation to City council on Monday to inform them of changes they’re undergoing.

President Oswald Sawh says its part of a kick off for their new building:

"For most of those that have followed us over the years, we were created back in 2003. The building we’re in right know has been great for us, it’s served our needs, but the reality is we need a facility that would really help us with some of the challenges we have with house care of animals".

The new name is to reflect that they serve animals from all over the region.

They’ve also launched a new website, and have started using a new electronic board in the City Centre Mall.
