The Humane Society of Richland-Wilkin Counties (HSRWC) is dedicated to advocating for and caring for each animal in our shelter until they find their own loving, forever homes. We strive to provide a compassionate bridge between homeless animals and the families ready to welcome them.
For nearly two decades, we have served as a non-profit, volunteer-driven organization committed to the humane treatment of animals. By rescuing and sheltering those in need, we aim to build a kinder community through education on animal welfare laws and the lifelong commitment required to provide proper pet care.
We operate a physical facility in Wahpeton, North Dakota, where our dedicated team provides daily care for our residents. Our commitment goes beyond basic needs, as we actively work to match each pet’s unique personality with the right human companion to ensure a successful, lasting bond. We also offer foster opportunities for those who wish to support our mission without a lifelong commitment.
Adoption is a joyful partnership, and we are here to support you in making the best choice for your lifestyle. Because we prioritize the long-term well-being of our animals, we use an application process to help guide you toward a pet that fits your family's needs perfectly. Whether you are looking for a playful companion or a calm friend, our team is here to assist you every step of the way.
Ready to meet your new best friend? We invite you to explore our available dogs and cats online or visit us at 18039 79 1/2 St SE, Wahpeton, ND, during our public hours from 3p to 7p, Monday through Friday. Please reach out with any questions—we look forward to helping you grow your family.
