Washburn County Area Humane Society
A Second Chance for Every Animal
The Washburn County Area Humane Society is dedicated to providing temporary care for homeless animals while working to find them permanent, loving homes. We are passionate about promoting the humane treatment of animals and educating our community on the joys and responsibilities of pet ownership.
Our History and Mission
Established in 1994, our organization has long served as a vital resource for Washburn County. We work closely with local law enforcement and community agencies to provide shelter for hundreds of animals annually, ensuring every pet receives the care and attention they deserve until they find their perfect match.
Our Care Model
Our shelter in Spooner provides a safe, welcoming environment for our animals, featuring both indoor and outdoor kennel spaces. We also rely on a compassionate network of foster families who open their hearts and homes to help our animals heal, grow, and thrive outside the shelter walls until they are ready for adoption.
Finding Your New Best Friend
We believe that adoption is a joyful partnership that begins with thoughtfulness and care. Every animal that passes through our doors is spayed or neutered, microchipped, and fully vaccinated before joining their new family, ensuring a healthy start for a lifetime of happiness together.
Connect With Us
We invite you to discover the wonderful, adoptable pets currently waiting for their forever homes. Please visit our website to view our available animals or contact us at 715-635-4720 to schedule a visit to the shelter. Whether you are ready to adopt, foster, or volunteer, we are excited to help you start your journey with a new companion.
