RAISE AWARENESS AMONG THE PUBLIC OF THE HUMANE TREATMENT AND CARE OF ANIMALS AND SERVE AS A RESOURCE FOR INFORMATION ON PETS AND THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF PET

The Rusk County Animal Shelter is a full-service facility that serves Wisconsin's Rusk County. Until they can be reunited with their owners or adopted by new families, we shelter stray and unwanted domestic animals and offer supportive care.

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

Our mission is to offer a safe haven for abandoned or unwanted animals, to promote responsible pet ownership, to nurture the human-animal link, and to prevent pet overpopulation by spaying and neutering.

The goal of The Humane Society of Burnett County, Inc. is to prevent pet overpopulation by encouraging responsible pet ownership, providing a safe home for abandoned or unwanted animals, and fostering the human-animal link.
