The Arnell Memorial Humane Society is dedicated to providing shelter, comfort, and care for stray, abandoned, and surrendered pets in Polk County, Wisconsin. We strive to foster the human/animal bond by promoting responsible pet guardianship and encouraging successful adoptions.
Our organization was founded in 1995 by a group of passionate citizens and animal lovers. Named in honor of Roy Arnell, a local farmer known for his kindness toward animals, our facility stands as a testament to his legacy and his desire to provide protection for those in need. Today, we continue that commitment as a private, non-profit shelter serving our community.
As the designated stray holding facility for Polk County, we provide a safe, nurturing environment for animals waiting for their forever homes. Our dedicated team, including our shelter manager and animal caregivers, works tirelessly to provide medical treatment, food, and comfort to every pet in our care. By working with the community, we prioritize animal welfare and serve as a reliable resource for those needing pet-related support.
Because we are a smaller, focused shelter, we pride ourselves on truly knowing each of our animals. This intimate knowledge allows us to offer valuable insights and advice, ensuring that your adoption is a rewarding and successful experience for both you and your new pet. We view every adoption as a meaningful step in helping our animals become beloved, permanent family members.
Are you ready to find your next best friend? We invite you to view our currently available adoptable dogs and cats online or visit our shelter in Amery to meet them in person. Your support—whether through adoption, volunteering, or donations—makes a direct impact on the lives of pets in our care.
