If you happen to have any holiday lights that are damaged/broken, we’d love to take them and recycle them! The South Wood County Humane Society has a large red dumpster outside of our facility. Feel free to swing by anytime and dispose of your lights there. By recycling your lights with us, you are supporting our mission for a happier future for our furry friends.
At this time, SWCHS does not have the kennel capacity to immediately accept personal canine surrenders.
SWCHS currently has capacity only to accept stray canines from our specific service areas within Wood County Wisconsin.
Please be kind, patient, and understanding with staff as we are experiencing an increased number of abandoned and unclaimed pets and do not have enough kennels to immediately accept dog surrenders. We do have resources for rehoming links that you use to create a profile and rehome your pet yourself. These links can be found on the menu of this page under the “services tab” > “surrendered animals“. Whenever pets can go directly from your home to their next forever family we all experience a better outcome. Thank you!
For any further questions about surrendering a canine: please contact us to ask for the link to our pet owner surrender questionnaire so we can help you add your pet to the surrender waitlist. We have limited capacities and sometimes experience a large number of requests so we are not able to provide any estimate as to how long the wait will be.
We are allowing cat room walkthroughs at this time, no appointment needed.
If you are interested in meeting dogs, you must first fill out an adoption application . After we review the application and make a list of dogs with matching home needs we will contact you to schedule appointments. For the wellbeing and needs of the dogs in our care, we do not allow dog walkthroughs.
At this time, SWCHS does not have the kennel capacity for personal feline surrenders.
SWCHS still accepts stray felines from our specific service areas within Wood County Wisconsin.
Please be kind, patient, and understanding with staff as we work to get our current feline residents adopted to open up more kennel space.
