The Humane Society of Barron County works to reduce pet overpopulation while improving the lives of homeless animals through dedicated care, adoption, education, and advocacy. Our vision is to build communities where every companion animal enjoys a safe, loving forever home.
Established in 1978 by a small, dedicated group of volunteers, our organization began with individuals taking animals into their own homes to help them find families. Today, we have grown into a professional non-profit facility located in Barron, remaining deeply committed to our local community as a private organization that relies entirely on your generosity and support.
We are a small, tight-knit team that prioritizes the well-being of our animals above all else. To ensure every pet receives individualized attention and remains in a low-stress environment, our shelter operates by appointment only, which allows us to provide focused, quality time for every animal and adopter.
Adopting a pet is a beautiful, life-changing commitment, and we are here to ensure you find the perfect match for your family. By managing our intake through Capacity for Care standards, we ensure that every animal in our shelter is healthy, vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed or neutered before they head home. We believe in providing a calm and thoughtful adoption process that sets both you and your new companion up for a lifetime of happiness.
Are you ready to meet your new best friend? We invite you to view our currently available animals on our website or reach out to us at 715-537-9063 to schedule your meet-and-greet. Together, we can continue the lifesaving work of connecting homeless pets with the loving homes they deserve.
