Volunteer Information Session
Who We Are
§ Founded in 1964 by a dedicated group of volunteers,
Humane Society of Sheboygan County is an open-admission
private shelter that houses and cares for over 2,500
homeless pets from Sheboygan County. Our mission is
simple: prevent cruelty to animals, relieve suffering among
animals, and extend humane education.
§ Being a private non-profit organization means that we are
not funded by any government taxes and are not run by any
government entity. Instead, we fund our operations through
grants and donations.
§ Volunteers are also a vital aspect of our "funding". Their
work helps us manage and maintain the shelter and its
programs on a tight budget. By donating their time and
talents, volunteers offer us the chance to focus our
resources on what matters most: the homeless pets in our
care.

What We Do
In order to fulfill our mission, we offer several different
affordable programs to the public. These programs include
SNAP (Spay-Neuter Assistance Program), CAAP (Companion
Animal Assistance Program), TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) and of
course, adoptions.
Above all, our biggest focus is finding families for homeless
pets and providing excellent care while they await their new
home. While in our care, pets receive full veterinary attention
including:
§ Spay/Neutering
§ Traditional vaccines and preventative treatments (including
rabies, dewormer, flea/tick preventatives)
§ Testing for common illnesses (ie heartworm, FIV/FeLV)
§ Ongoing treatment for existing illnesses (ie diabetes
management, ear infections, URI etc)
§ High quality food
§ Social interaction and behavioral training
