Upcoming Events

We are always in need of volunteers to help with events and fundraisers. With the opening of our new Adoption Center, our operating expenses have more than doubled- we are caring for more animals than ever (probably more than 1000 during the year 2008). We Need YOU!! (And bring a friend!)

If you would like to help out, please come by the shelter and fill out a volunteer form, or call 715-258-2545 and leave your name and phone number.

Please visit our tree (and ALL the beautiful trees) at Hansen's Furniture and Appliance. From Nov. 20 to Dec. 24, the public can view the trees and vote for their favorite one with cash. Each organization keeps any cash votes they receive, and the tree with the most cash votes receives an extra $100 from Hansen’s. Please support all the animals you see on our tree by donating to HSWC! Almost all the animals you see on our tree are available for adoption. If you see a pet you are interested in, please visit our Adoption Center page.
