As an open admission shelter, Dane County Humane Society (DCHS) accepts all animals regardless of age, health status or temperament, and cares for nearly 9,000 companion animals, farm animals, and ill, orphaned or injured wild animals each year. DCHS has an adoption guarantee, meaning all healthy or treatable animals can stay at DCHS as long as it takes to find a loving home. As one of the nation's leading animal welfare organizations, DCHS also offers humane education programs, community spay/neuter and vaccination clinics, foster care for animals for victims of domestic abuse, a pet food pantry, dog training classes, and much more.
Funding from The Grey Muzzle Organization will allow Dane County Humane Society (DCHS) to provide senior dogs with much needed lab work prior to adoption. This will help DCHS’s medical team immediately identify and address common diseases that affect senior animals more frequently, ensuring their medical needs are cared for prior to adoption.
