Wadena County Humane Society

Our Mission

Wadena County Humane Society saves the lives of companion animals, finds forever homes for forsaken pets, and advocates responsible animal guardianship in our community. We are dedicated to bringing love, hugs, and care to every animal that walks through our doors.

Our Story

Founded in 1997 by a group of dedicated local volunteers, we have grown into a vital resource for our area. We operate as an independent organization—proudly unaffiliated with national groups—relying entirely on the compassion and generosity of our local supporters to fund our life-saving work.

How We Help

We serve as a safe haven for owner surrenders, strays, and animals rescued from overcrowded facilities. Our animals receive comprehensive medical care and behavioral support, and we utilize a network of loving foster homes to help our pets thrive, socialize, and prepare for their new lives.

A Perfect Match

We believe that adopting a pet is a beautiful, lifelong commitment. Our team works hard to understand both our animals and your family, helping ensure the perfect match that brings joy and sunshine to your home. By bringing the whole family to meet your potential companion, you can ensure a bond that lasts a lifetime.
