Thank you for considering volunteering to support the Washburn County Area Humane Society pets! As a volunteer, you will be helping us achieve our mission by assisting pets in need and serving our community. There are so many opportunities to make a difference - so many animal lives you can positively impact as they wait for their new forever home. We are committed to providing the dogs and cats that come through our doors enough people play time and socializing time to ensure that they succeed in their new home.
Here are just a few of the reasons to consider volunteering at our shelter:
We ask volunteers to commit to a minimum of 8 hours per month for a minimum of 4 months. We offer flexible schedules and a variety of opportunities that are sure to appeal to everyone. Some of the volunteer opportunities include laundry, dishes, feeding and watering animals, and yard work in the warmer seasons. If you’re interested in walking dogs and more hands-on time with the animals, we require training by one of our animal care managers in handling them for your safety and the animal’s safety. Once we receive and approve your application, we will reach out to you to set up your orientation! Volunteers must be at least 18 years old. Volunteer applications can be picked up at the shelter during our open days/hours. Volunteering can be a long-term commitment and may not always be easy or convenient, but if you can stick with it, volunteering with animals is one of the most rewarding experiences available. All it requires is a little dedication and a whole lot of love. 
KITTENS CONTINUE TO COME INTO THE SHELTER - FOSTERS NEEDED
**Because we provide all the litter and food for the fosters, we go through a lot of those supplies - quickly. We are in need of moist kitten food (Fancy Feast); hard kitten food (Purina One Kitten or Purina Kitten Chow), and non-clumping cat litter for kittens.** Please note that cat and dog surrenders are by appointment only. Please contact the shelter at 715.635.4720 to schedule an appointment. SPAY/NEUTER ASSISTANCE PROGRAM - "SNAP" 
WCAHS has a "SNAP" program, available to those who need assistance with the cost of spaying or neutering their pet. We will be using our "Thomas Fund" established by one of our members in memory of her beloved cat, Thomas, plus money that donors have designated for our SNAP fund. The "SNAP" program allows you to use the veterinarian of your choice.
We are currently able to offer a $50 discount towards each surgery to those who qualify, while the funds last. To download an application, go to the "About - Services" section of this website or call 715-635-4720 for more information. 
Many people have been asking about our needs so we thought we would create an Amazon Wish List. We put together a list of everyday needs and tried to make it easy for those who would like to help out by giving a wide range of options. Items can be shipping directly to the 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.
