Chequamegon Humane Association is a dedicated animal welfare organization serving Northwestern Wisconsin with a mission to provide care and compassion for animals in need. We strive to build a compassionate world where every animal is cherished, united with loving families, and supported by a connected community.
Founded in 1980 as the Chequamegon Animal League, our organization began as a volunteer-driven mission to care for homeless animals. Over four decades later, we have grown from those early roots into a state-of-the-art facility in Ashland, where we help nearly 1,000 animals annually find the second chances they deserve.
At our facility on Rail Drive, we prioritize the health and happiness of every resident. We are proud to maintain a policy where there are no time limits on how long an animal stays, ensuring every pet remains available for adoption until they find their perfect, loving forever home.
Adopting a pet is a joyful, lifelong partnership that creates meaningful bonds. We prioritize finding the best match for both the animal and your family, and our dedicated team is here to guide you through the process, from our initial meet-and-greets to your first day home together.
Are you ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life? We invite you to browse our Hopeful Hearts online listings to meet the animals currently waiting for their families.
