Mission Statement
The Dunn County Humane Society (DCHS) is dedicated to improving the lives of companion animals in our community and finding permanent and loving adoptive homes for the animals in our care. DCHS promotes the humane treatment of animals and operates as a no-kill facility, a philosophy that has been
with the organization from the beginning. We do not forfeit the life of one animal to make space for another. All incoming animals are evaluated, medically treated and rehabilitated when possible. DCHS is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that relies on the good will and generosity of individuals and corporations.

A Busy Spring
As we move into better weather (yes, it will happen), we embark on one of our busiest times of the year at DCHS. Spring usually brings kitten season and we have already had some litters here at the shelter. In addition, as moving season starts, so too
does an increase in dog and cat surrenders. We are poised and ready to deal with all of this, but also have another large project going on and several fundraisers as well (see pages 1, 2, 5, and 6).
By the time you receive this, a new garage is being erected where the old garage and food shed used to sit. Both of those structures have been removed, but had been here since well before the shelter was built. They have served us well, but are definitely past their useful life. Thanks to some generous donations from a handful of donors, we were able to fund this construction with little need to ask for additional funds. Of course, we could always use donations as we will have need for shelving, a new chest freezer, and various other items that will help keep the new garage organized and functional. If you have interest in donating for this project, just specify ‘garage’ when you make your donation.
As always, thanks for your continued support and we hope to see you at many of our upcoming events!

One year ago we brought home this handsome energetic man named Huck. He is full of so much personality and love. We crated him for the first few days while we were away but almost immediately started leaving him out in controlled areas of the house while we were away for
short periods. He has done great! Within a month he gained full access to the entire house while we were away. Huck has taken a couple obedience classes, and since he is sooo eager to please, he has done incredibly well. He also loves playing with his friends at doggy daycare (Embark). The first year has flown by and we look forward to so many more. I just wanted to share our love for him with everyone. I’m sure working with animals, everyone occasionally wonders how they are doing after being adopted. Is everything going ok? Is the animal still in the home? Etc. Huck is doing great (a bit of a snorer and a bed hog, but doing great!) ~Marie
Hi. I am sending several photos of Melbourne, now Tucker. He is
such a good little dog and he is adjusting wonderfully. And what a
snuggler. I let him snuggle but then when I tell him to lay down he
moves away from me and finds a spot to lay down. He loves
everyone that he has come in contact with so far. As you’ll see, he
loves my great grandkids too so he does well with kids. I put his bed
on my bed at night and he gets right in it and stays there all night.
He couldn’t be a better fit for me and I couldn’t be happier! -Carol
