Welcome to the Driftless Humane Society! We are a compassionate and dedicated group of individuals devoted to finding loving homes for our furry friends in the greater Vernon County area. Our mission is simple yet profound: to rescue cats and dogs in need, provide them with a safe shelter, and reunite lost animals with their families.
Founded in 1999 as the Vernon County Humane Society, our non-profit organization has grown significantly over the years, continuously striving to create positive changes in the lives of both animals and people. Our dream is to one day reach a point where we will no longer need to rescue; however, until that day comes, we will continue our unwavering commitment to animal welfare.
At Driftless Humane Society, we operate as a no-kill shelter, welcoming cats and dogs of all ages and health statuses. We pride ourselves on finding homes for all healthy animals, including those with treatable medical or behavioral issues, ensuring they receive the care and attention they deserve. Our staff collaborates closely with veterinarians to provide top-notch medical care, food, and enrichment programs for every animal in our shelter.
We believe in the power of community and welcome assistance from our volunteers and donors. Your support directly benefits our mission and helps us provide for our animals. Together, we are making a difference not only for pets and people but also for the planet. By participating in creative fundraising initiatives, like our shoe collection drive, we can enrich the lives of our animals while minimizing waste.
Whether you are looking to adopt a new pet, volunteer your time, or make a donation, there are numerous ways to get involved and show your support. We invite you to join the Driftless Humane Society family—because here, we believe in helping bring pets and people together, forever.
