Dunn County Humane Society

Mission Statement

At the Dunn County Humane Society, our mission is to enhance the well-being of companion animals in our community and secure permanent, loving homes for those in our care. We are committed to improving animal welfare in our community through comprehensive care, advocacy, and support.

We proudly uphold a no-kill philosophy—a commitment that has defined our organization since its inception. We firmly believe that every life is valuable, and no animal should be sacrificed to make room for another. DCHS is dedicated to proactive community outreach and education, aiming to prevent animal surrenders and abandonment and give pet owners the resources they need to keep pets in homes.

We believe in treating all of our residents with positive, “fear free” handling, and that every animal in our care is entitled to 5 basic freedoms:

• freedom from hunger & thirst;
• freedom from discomfort;
• freedom from pain, injury, or disease;
• freedom to express normal behavior; and
• freedom from fear & distress.

Every process and decision we make as an organization is rooted in these shared values.

DCHS is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that relies on the goodwill and generosity of our community, both individuals & corporations.
