Humane Society of Southern Wisconsin - Offsite Adoption Programs
Our Mission
The Humane Society of Southern Wisconsin is dedicated to providing shelter and humane care to lost and homeless pets, reuniting families, and promoting positive adoptions. We strive to educate our community to inspire compassion and responsible pet guardianship for every animal.
A Legacy of Care
Saving lives in our community since 1910, we have grown from the Rock County Humane Society into a modern, independent shelter serving the needs of our area. Our commitment remains constant: securing safe and loving homes for every adoptable animal while providing humane treatment for all.
How We Help
Operating from our centrally located facility in Janesville, we rely on the generous support of our community to fulfill our mission. We provide comprehensive care including medical assessments, spay and neuter services, and a dedicated foster program that helps animals acclimate to home life before finding their forever families.
Your Partner in Adoption
We view our adoption process as a meaningful conversation rather than just paperwork, focusing on thoughtful matches for both you and our shelter pets. Our experienced adoption counselors are here to provide guidance and support, ensuring you feel confident in your decision to welcome a new member into your home.
Join Our Community
Are you ready to meet your new best friend? We invite you to browse our current list of adoptable dogs, cats, and critters on our website or visit us in person at our Janesville shelter. You can also get involved by volunteering, fostering, or attending one of our many community events as we work together to help pets go home again.
