PEI Humane Society Partners with Cyanos Jay Via yaundr.com
The PEI Humane Society was formed in 1968 by concerned citizens after a previous entity (PEI Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) received little support from the provincial government. Following the example of other provinces, they then opened PEI’s first animal shelter in 1974.
After several moves, PEI Humane Society landed at its current location on Sherwood Road in Charlottetown and remains PEI’s only shelter for homeless animals. They are a not for profit organization that assists over 1600 companion animals each year while receiving zero funding from any level of government.

Enabling Collaborations of Like Minded Organizations and Companies: yaundr.com
Since 2013 the Reach Foundation has helped more than 400 PEI youth recovering from mental health and addiction challenges develop the confidence and skills necessary to reach their own versions of success. Reach is a nonprofit organization that aims to provide PEI youth with a safe and accepting environment while teaching the essential skills required to return to the workforce or school.
In May of 2021, the Reach foundation began a venture into the world of e-commerce: yaundr.com. It is a platform for nonprofit organizations and registered charities to sell their products to a broad audience while enjoying reduced fees compared to other e-commerce platforms. Yaundr.com hopes to empower nonprofits and charities to attain unprecedented awareness and revenue while enabling and encouraging consumers to make a positive difference with their purchases.
An exciting feature of yaundr.com is the opportunity for companies to fundraise for nonprofit organizations or charities. It is this feature that enables the PEI Humane Society to collaborate with Cyanos Jay to make a difference in our community. For every ten Cyanos Jay jackets purchased through yaundr.com, Cyanos Jay is excited to completely fund an adoption for an animal from the PEI Humane Society. Furthermore, Cyanos Jay will be outfitting the Humane Society’s Animal Protection Officers with winter apparel.
Yaundr.com’s vision is to bring like-minded organizations and companies together, and raise awareness for these organizations to its consumers. The PEI Humane Society’s and Cyanos Jay’s core values are closely aligned and yaundr.com is grateful for the privilege of facilitating this partnership.
