Chequamegon Humane Association

A non-profit group called Helping PAWS Pet Rescue has been operating in the Washburn, Bayfield, and Ashland region of northwest Wisconsin since February 2006. No adoptable companion animal should ever be put to death due to a lack of proper care and a good home, according to the mission statement of our organization. This applies to all domestic animals, including horses, rabbits, birds, and dogs and cats.

The Northwoods Humane Society (NHS) was founded with the purpose of giving abandoned animals a safe haven. NHS will endeavor to place animals in suitable homes, offer medical attention as necessary, and work to socialize and train them to be more successful in a household environment.

We are an enthusiastic team of animal lovers aiming to make the lives of stray animals in the Northwoods better.

Only dogs from within the confines of Sawyer County are accepted at the dog pound. Before delivering a stray dog, kindly check with the pound to see if there is room.

The Society's goals include the elimination of animal suffering, the promotion of humane education, and the prevention of cruelty to animals.
