 Woods Humane Society is looking for life long caregivers for all animals leaving the shelter.
This commitment involves taking the animal with you when you move, providing proper training and medical care for the anima, and spending time with the animal to meet its needs for physical activity and psychological fulfillment.
Because there are so many animals that qualify for our services, it is important that we follow rigid guidelines to protect the animal and the person who would like to adopt the animal. To determine wheather the animal is adoptable, we need to follow some specific guidelines. These are listed in the Surrenders section of the website.
 Our humane education program is continually being modified and expanded. Currently, Woods Humane Society offers a summer “Critter Camp” for children between the ages of 8-11 years and is a week long day camp specifically focused on teaching humane education.
Our shelter’s Outreach Coordinator (Steve Kragenbrink) also conducts site and school visits throughout the year to bring humane education into local classrooms
 Microchips can be implanted just under the skin of dogs and cats. Veterinary, animal control, animal shelter, and local humane society professionals can then use handheld scanners—just like those used in market checkout lines—to "read" the chips implanted in animals found wandering unsupervised. The microchip provides a unique code for the pet that can then be matched against an identification database.
By purchasing a gift certificate, the new adoption family will have the chance to come in to the shelter and chose an animal that fits their “Perfect Match” criteria. This will also insure that the right animal gets to go home with the right family. |
