Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Animal Protection & Welfare, Animals, Homeless & Housing, Homeless Shelters
Mission: The mission of the eau claire county humane association is to be a voice for all animals by providing education, resources and support for the community, compassionate care for homeless animals until they can be placed in forever homes, and coordination with other organizations to promote animal welfare.
Programs: Care of lost/abandoned animals: we impound stray, domestic animals for most of the municipalities in eau claire county. We respond to calls about stray animals, board them for 7 days according to state statutes, making every attempt to find the owner of the animal and return it to its owner. If no owner is found, we determine if the animal is adoptable, and take action accordingly to place the animal for adoption or euthanize the animal if needed. This service benefits all pet owners in eau claire county. We took in 1,167 stray animals in 2017. Approximately 30% of stray animals we take in are reunited with their owners. Approximately 35% of animals we take in are adopted.
care of animals surrendered by their owners: we accept domestic animals that are surrendered by their owners because they can no longer care for them, for whatever reason. We determine if the animal is adoptable and take action accordingly to place the animal for adoption or euthanize the animal if needed. We took in 547 surrendered animals in 2017.
pet adoption: for people looking to add a pet to their family, we attempt to match them with a pet that they will enjoy, that will work best for their family and lifestyle. We provide necessary vaccinations, medical care and treatments, and identification for the pet before it is adopted to a new family. We adopted out 604 animals in 2017.
