What does DCHS do?

At the Dunn County Humane Society, our mission is to enhance the well-being of companion pets and secure permanent, loving homes for those in our care. As first responders for lost, abandoned, and stray pets, we provide compassionate care and work closely with law enforcement agencies throughout Dunn County.

Additionally, we offer community services such as City of Menomonie licensing, free rehoming support, and Trap/Neuter/Return services for registered Community Cat colonies. We are extremely proud that in 2023 we cared for 1,032 pets from our community. However, our work extends beyond numbers; it's about ensuring every pet receives the care, love, and second chance they deserve.

Pet Microchipping Event

Pet Microchipping Event

$5 Pet Microchips for One Day Only.
In the United States, 1 in 3 family pets will go missing in their lifetime, but microchips drastically increase the likelihood that your pet gets reunited with you. Microchips, which are as small as a grain of rice, offer a simple and effective way for animal shelters and veterinary clinics nationwide to identify a pet’s owner. Your pet won’t even know it’s there, but we’ll always know where home is.

Share with DCHS

We are beginning a strategic planning process to help guide our organization over the next several years. As part of that process, we want to hear from the people who know our organization best—our volunteers, members, adopters, donors, staff, board members, event attendees, and the broader community.

Your feedback will help us better understand our strengths, identify areas for improvement, and prioritize the work that will have the greatest impact on companion animals and the people who love them.

This survey is just one opportunity to provide feedback. Most people complete this survey in approximately 10–15 minutes, and we are accepting responses until August 26th.
