Humane Society of Vilas County

We are a Wisconsin-based private non-profit organization dedicated to animal welfare. Almost 800 animals are housed in a warm, secure environment by OCHS every year. Every day, we care for close to 100 animals at the adoption center. We are committed to enhancing the wellbeing of animals in Oneida County.

To locate devoted families for animals that have been saved from high-kill shelters or other unfavorable situations and require the care and love of a real family.

Before an animal is adopted, we give veterinary services including spaying/neutering (if the animal is old enough), all vaccinations and boosters, a Lyme disease test, a heartworm check, and deworming for every animal that we rescue.

We work hard to maintain a No-Kill facility, a shelter for the mistreated, abandoned, or abused animals of Lincoln County and neighboring counties, a safe haven for healthy adoptable animals, a temporary home for the homeless.

Before placing stray and surrendered cats and dogs in secure, loving families, we offer them a cozy, temporary home.

The goal of FETCH Foster and Rescue is to "advocate for shelter dogs through education, rescue, foster care, rehabilitation, and adoption in an effort to decrease the number of unnecessary pregnancies and those annually authorized."
