The Brown County Humane Society is dedicated to the prevention of cruelty, the relief of suffering among animals, and the extension of humane education. We strive to provide a safe haven for animals in need while maintaining the high standards of care expected by our community.
Our organization exists to protect animals in our area by offering refuge, reuniting lost pets with their families, and finding suitable, loving homes for those in our care. We are driven by a passion for animal welfare and a commitment to assisting community members with their pets through programs like temporary food assistance and low-cost spay/neuter services.
We operate a local shelter facility in Hiawatha, supported by a dedicated team and a vital network of foster homes. By providing a warm, temporary environment, our fosters allow animals to heal, grow, and socialize in comfort while they wait for their forever families. We supply our fosters with all the necessary resources, ensuring each animal receives the individualized attention they deserve.
We believe that successful adoptions happen when we prioritize finding the perfect match between an animal's personality and an adopter's lifestyle. Our personalized, thorough adoption process ensures that every transition is built on a foundation of health, compatibility, and mutual joy. Whether you are looking for a young companion or a senior pet with plenty of love left to give, we are here to support your journey.
Your support makes these success stories possible, whether through adopting, volunteering your time, or fostering. We invite you to visit us at our Hiawatha shelter to meet our current residents or to reach out and learn more about our programs. Together, we can continue making a meaningful impact on the lives of animals in Brown County.
