Humane Society Of Portage County Inc

South Wood County Humane Society is a private, non-profit animal welfare organization that serves Wisconsin Rapids, WI. We offer warm, secure sanctuary to stray and unwanted dogs, cats, and small animals.

We adopt dogs out through a thorough process that includes carefully matching them with adopters, educating potential adopters, and providing ongoing support. Dogs are then placed in loving, responsible, devoted permanent homes.

HSWC is a nonprofit organization that promotes compassion and caring by improving the lives of both people and animals via companion animal care and humane education.

Every animal that comes into our care has an agreement with us. Whether it be through adoption or as a member of our family at the Sanctuary, each one is assured a devoted home for the rest of their lives.

When concerned residents realized Marshfield needed an animal sanctuary, MAPS was established in 2011. They put in a lot of effort to spread the word about their cause. To garner support, they participated in parades, sat at fair booths, served brat fries, and went to every local event they could.

Feline/Canine Friends, Inc. was established in 1989 by retired teacher Marie Valentino as a refuge primarily for unwanted pets with a focus on animals with special needs. The shelter, which is now our sanctuary and is home to our non-adoptable & special-needs cats, was formerly situated in Grand Marsh, Wisconsin. We expanded our organization in 2014 by constructing a sizable building in Westfield, Wisconsin.
