Congratulations on your decision to adopt an animal companion! South Wood County Humane Society is happy you are considering adopting from our shelter. Our goal is to find permanent, loving and responsible homes for the animals in our care. We do not place holds on any animal for adoption due to kennel space. We strive to match the best animal for your situation and the best situation for that animal. Please complete all parts the application, as incomplete applications will not be processed. In order to be considered for adoption, you must:
- Be 21 years of age or have a co-signer present at time of turning in application and adoption if approved.
- Have formal identification (ex. Drivers License)
- Current pets must be up to date on vaccinations, unless verified with your personal vet that current pet(s) cannot have a certain vaccine due to medical issues and/or health of animal.
- SWCHS will check with landlords for approval of pets in rental homes, apartments and mobile home parks. Parental permission must be granted if you live in their home at time of application.
- In the matter of multiple applications received for one specific animal, SWCHS will go through all the applications and contact all applicants when their application is approved. All applicants will be informed about the multiple applications for the one said animal. Adoptions are based off of best fit home and the availability of the applicants schedule to meet with and/or adopt said animal.
