The Dunn County Humane Society is happy to launch our very own website, dunncounthumanesociety.org. The new site includes information on the history of the organization, exciting happenings, adoptable animals, and much more. Add it to your favorites, so you can visit often!
Microchippnig services are available during regular business hours. Stop by and have a lifesaving microchip implanted into your pet for the low cost of $20. This grain-sized chip could help your animal get home safely if he is ever lost.
The site is powered by Yahoo, so you'll get the same quality search results that you're used to. What's unique is that they have developed a way to direct money to the Dunn County Humane Society with every click.
The more people who use this site, the more money that will go to the animals in need. So please spread the word to your friends and family.

WE NEED YOUR HELP.
Can you give just a few hours a month? Volunteer opportunities are available for adults and children.
Dog and Cat Socialization and Exercise
This involves walking and playing with the dogs to keep them comfortable with human
interaction and increase their adoptability. It also involves playing with the cats and
kittens.
Office Support and Shelter Maintenance
Volunteers are needed to assist with general office duties such as answering phones,
making copies and assisting the public at the shelter. Improvements always need to be made
to the building.
Special Events and Fundraising
Some of the special events include the Walk for Paws, dog washes, thrift sale, grant writing and extra-added events. Community awareness and advertising are needed both for the shelter and special events.
Foster Care Program
Volunteers are needed to care for animals in their homes. Special needs animals may need
extra attention. Also when the shelter is full temporary placement may be needed.
