Rusk County Animal Shelter

The Chippewa Humane Association is doing an RAFFLE to collect money to support the diversity of animals that enter our doors in need of a haven to be looked after, fed, and loved until they find their forever home.

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.

 Although we currently only have a few open hours for visiting our adoptable animals, appointments can be made to see them after we have received and approved your adoption application.

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.

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