2018 Trail Ride Results
The third annual Happy Trails for Happy Tails trail ride fundraiser for the Washburn County Area Humane Society was held on May 12, 2018. The weather was almost perfect with very few bugs. However, the predictions of a rainy weekend, as well as horses out-of-shape because of the late spring, scared many participants away, resulting in only eleven horse and rider combinations. However, the barbeque chicken sandwich meal was a great success, as were the wonderful raffle prizes donated by Leading Edge Vets, Mayana Chocolates, Acer Acres, and several private citizens. Most of the riders have been coming every year, with positive praise for the ride, so we will continue trying to increase attendance. The fundraiser resulted in close to $500 being raised to help with the rebuilding of the new shelter. Future Home of WCAHS
MAY 2018 WCAHS SHELTER UPDATE
Here is a brief update on the progress being made at the new WCAHS shelter building. Outside cement areas have been poured, the epoxy floors for the dog and cat kennel areas will be completed next week. Volunteers will be putting a coat of fresh paint on the hallway walls and a few rooms that didn't get remodeled as well as finishing the hallway flooring. Inside windows go in and doors go on along with the trim around them. Work will need to be done on the outside play yards and kennels. Temporary Shelter at 930 N. Front St. in Spooner

Many people have been asking about our needs, both our everyday needs and our needs for when we move to the new building. As most of you know our shelter burned down in March and we lost just about everything - leashes, collars, medical items, bowls, toys, supplies, equipment. So we thought we would create an Amazon Wish List. We put together a list of everyday needs as well as items for the new building and we will be updating it. We tried to make it easy for those who would like to help out by giving a wide range of options and tried to keep them in some sort of order - please scroll through. Items can be shipping directly to the temporary shelter. There is an address on file with the list when you check out. THANK YOU to all of you for always being so supportive.
