Dunn County Humane Society
Our Mission
At the Dunn County Humane Society, our mission is to enhance the well-being of companion animals in our community and secure permanent, loving homes for those in our care. We are committed to improving animal welfare in our community through comprehensive care, advocacy, and support.
We proudly uphold a no-kill philosophy—a commitment that has defined our organization since its inception. We firmly believe that every life is valuable, and no animal should be sacrificed to make room for another. DCHS is dedicated to proactive community outreach and education, aiming to prevent animal surrenders and abandonment and give pet owners the resources they need to keep pets in homes.
We believe in treating all of our residents with positive, “fear free” handling, and that every animal in our care is entitled to 5 basic freedoms:
• freedom from hunger & thirst;
• freedom from discomfort;
• freedom from pain, injury, or disease;
• freedom to express normal behavior; and
• freedom from fear & distress.
Every process and decision we make as an organization is rooted in these shared values.
DCHS is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that relies on the goodwill and generosity of our community, both individuals & corporations.
Adoption Policy
Our facility is appointment only, and if you are interested in adopting one of our companion pets, then you must fill out an online application.
Once our Adoption Counselors have received your application, they will follow-up with you to learn more about your lifestyle, living situation, and what you are looking for in a pet! Then our Adoption Counselors will schedule a time for you to come to our facility and visit with the pets.
The whole process can take 2-7 days depending on your schedule and our staff resources, and we offer appointments every day of the week.
Our website is updated more frequently than our Petfinder profile, so please check out our website at www.dunncountyhumanesociety.org for more information about our adoptable pets, policies, and outreach.
