WCHS Services

 

Our animal services include contracting with Washington County for stray dog pickup, and contracting with 12 out of 20 municipalities for stray cat and injured/ill wildlife pickup.  


We also accept surrendered animals.  Our staff inoculates every animal that comes into our shelter, and tests all cats for Feline Leukemia/FIV.  


We treat illnesses in-house with outside veterinary support, and provide emergency veterinary care for those animals in need.  


We also work closely with wildlife rehabilitators prior to re-release.  


Our Adoption Counselors work extensively with potential adopters to ensure the best possible matches, and provide follow-up consulting services to those families as well as others calling for assistance.  


We do not put a time limit on the animals in our care and we hold our animals as long as it takes to find them a loving home.   

WCHS offers Community Outreach Programs in which we:

  • Offer educational programs to schools at no cost to teach children about responsible pet care and bite prevention.

  • Provide teachers and students with access to our Resource Room for research materials (videos, books and lesson plans) on animal-related issues.

  • Offer presentations to community groups about the role of the Humane Society in our community.

  • Provide free care and shelter for the companion animals of domestic abuse victims in our Safe Pets/Safe People program.

  • Serve as the animal sheltering facility for the Red Cross in the event of a local disaster.

  • Provide dogs at no charge to Service Organizations such as: Dogs for Independence, PAWS With a Cause, and U.S. Customs.

  • Offer year-round, low-cost dog training classes to assist dog owners and to prevent pet relinquishment.  

 

Finally, we have a Crematorium at the shelter.  The passing of a family pet is never easy.  To help ease the pain at this sad time, The Washington County Humane Society offers private or group cremation.  Please contact the shelter at (262) 677-4388 for more information.

The Washington County Humane Society is NOT funded by tax dollars.  We rely on adoption fees, municipal and county contracts (supported through licensing fees), fundraising events and the generosity of our supporters.
