About Us
South Wood County Humane Society provided warm and safe shelter to 1,000 + stray and unwanted dogs, cats, and small animals in 2023. Most required vaccinations, many needed behavioral rehabilitation, and some, life-saving medical treatment. Every day our shelter provides housing and care to hundreds of dogs, cats, and small animals. Your continued support is needed and appreciated as we strive to continue to improve the welfare of our community’s pets.
Supporting SWCHS allows our staff and volunteers to continue our mission of building a stronger bond between people and pets through education and outreach in the community, medical care and safe shelter for homeless animals, promotion of spay and neuter programs to reduce overpopulation, and strong adoption programs to ensure that every companion lives in a loving home.
SWCHS is not equipped to accept or lend assistance to wildlife.

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.
