MOVING DAY!
We're moving to our new location at 1300 Roundhouse Road in Spooner. The cats moved on Wednesday and the dogs will soon be moving in. The cats LOVE their new environment. We're currently closed until we complete the move, but can still be called at 715-635-4720 if you need to reach us. 2018 SHED FEST The 2018 Shed Fest second annual music festival fundraiser for the Washburn County Area Humane Society was a “peticularly” good one this year! The weather, the location, the food, the prizes, and the generous people involved made it quite a success, and it was such fun having so many pet attendees who came along with their animal loving, Shed Fest attending people. Last year, this event was inspired by the fire which destroyed the animal shelter and the need to raise funds to re-establish this shelter. Jack and Judy White created the idea and then coordinated plans for this music festival with Rebecca and Mike Macone, owners of the Potter's Shed in Shell Lake, and this annual fundraiser was born. The many musical individuals who played last year again came back and donated their talent for the benefit of Washburn County Area Humane Society providing music from noon until after 10 PM. Everyone in attendance not only donated to WCAHS with their entry fee but enjoyed great music, bought chances on winning great raffle prizes, tested their bean bag skills to win a pair of Wisconsin Adirondack chairs, played their odds on taking home the $500 money tree, posed for pictures behind the uniquely designed photo board created by the very talented Spooner High School artist, Anna Little, and also satisfied their hunger with hot dogs and pulled pork sandwiches, and drank a few beverages. The Shed Fest attendees along with the team of organizers, board members, employees, individuals who donated prizes/food/beverages, and volunteers who served food and beverages, gathered donated prizes from so many generous people, and sold an incredible number of raffle tickets are so appreciated. As always, the news media were very helpful in getting the word about the WCAHS event out to the many readers and listeners. It could not have been done without each aspect of this fundraising effort of so many kind people working together. See the special thank you listing of the Shed Fest musicians, volunteers, and prize and food donators. Also, check the WCAHS website www.wcahs.com and facebook to keep track of the new, soon-to-open shelter building as well as upcoming fundraisers. Thank you to all for continued interest, donations, and support.

MOBILE VET CLINIC AT WCAHS
We had our second successful mobile vet clinic on June 14th and have one more upcoming. Click on the button to learn more about low cost spaying and neutering for cats. 
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. Click on the Amazon wish list logo above to go to our wish list. |
