Forest County Humane Society

Welcome to the Forest County Humane Society, a dedicated non-profit 501(c)(3) organization located in the heart of Wisconsin's Northwoods, Crandon. Our mission is simple yet profound: to serve as a safe haven for companion animals in need. We believe in enriching the lives of animals, families, and communities through our unwavering commitment to adoption services, education, and advocacy against animal cruelty. Our shelter is a no-kill facility that rescues, rehabilitates, and provides loving homes for all breeds of dogs, cats, and other small companion animals. We ensure that every animal in our care receives essential veterinary services, including spaying/neutering, vaccinations, Lyme disease tests, heartworm checks, and deworming, prior to adoption. We pride ourselves on providing these services to ensure our animals are healthy and ready to become cherished members of new families. At Forest County Humane Society, we understand that saving a life is priceless. Our adoption process is designed to help you find the perfect furry friend while providing you with the information and support needed to make this transition smooth and rewarding. Adoption fees help cover the costs associated with veterinary care and shelter operations, but anyone looking to adopt should be assured our commitment to them and their new companion. We are a community-funded organization, relying solely on the kindness of individuals and local businesses for support. Our values are rooted in empathy, compassion, and respect for both people and animals. We also believe in the importance of education and engaging the next generation in animal welfare, teaching children to value and respect our furry friends. As we aim to be a shelter from the storm, we invite you to join us in our mission. Whether through adoption, volunteering, or donations, your support makes a significant impact on the lives of animals in our care and strengthens our community. Together, we can create a brighter future for countless animals in need.
