A big thank you to all of our volunteers and friends of the Wright County Humane Society that helped to bring adoptable dogs to the parade last week!

The dogs were very well behaved and met lots of new friends along the way-- and maybe their forever families?

The best way to know if they are a good fit for you and your family is to go meet them 1:1.

Please call Don at 515.293.2026 to set up time and visit th at the acreage!

Most of our adoptable pets are listed on petfinder

We are so very appreciative that the Belmond and Eagle Grove FareWays offered to do the "ROUND UP" activity for the Humane Society of Wright County! Thanks to all you folks who said "YES" to rounding up when you purchased groceries the first two weeks of May!
Together the two Fareway stores generated donations in the amount of $1,558.65! WOW! That will buy a lot of dog & cat food for our adoptables! 🐕🐈‍⬛️🐕‍🦺🐈🐾

WE WANT TO THANK BOTH FAREWAY STORES ....AND THEIR CUSTOMERS WHO GENEROUSLY "ROUNDED UP" THEIR GROCERY BILLS!

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

Do you like hanging out with friendly furry-buddies?? If your answer is "yes" then we have a deal for you! We are needing volunteers to sit with a few of our adoptables this Saturday, May 18th from 9:30 AM till NOON in Eagle Grove in front of the Johnson Law Firm and in front of the Boone River Coffee shop. You can sit for the entire shift or a couple of hours---whatever works best for you! Please call 515-851-1111 if you would like to help us out by hanging out with our adoptables. Your job will be to pet them, interact with them, and introduce them to folks who are walking by!

May is a busy, busy month with chorus concerts, band concerts, orchestra concerts, and spring athletic events. Our members have many family events to attend tomorrow night, so we have cancelled our May 14th meeting. Hope to see you at our June 11th meeting! :)

UPDATE: Eagle Grove & Belmond Fareway stores can only round up for the Humane Society through May 18th- then the head office in Boone is having ALL the Fareway stores in the state round up for another cause. So grateful our two local stores can round up for the Humane Society for the first 18 days in May! (y)

Fareway (in Belmond & Eagle Grove) is helping us celebrate National Pet Month this May by allowing shoppers to "Round Up" to the next dollar as your donation to our humane society. It's financially challenging to operate any animal rescue. Many humane societies and rescues rely heavily on donations- and that includes us! One of the biggest expenses is feeding our adoptable pets. That is why we are asking you to "ROUND UP" when shopping at Fareway. Help them help us!

Awesome Adoptable Alert!! This sweetheart took a trip to the vet today to have her spay, vaccines, and microchip done. She loved the car ride, followed everyone around at the clinic and was a happy go lucky girl the entire time. Guessing she is around a year old, heeler cross, but a 100% good girl! Call Don for more info and set up a time to meet your new best friend. 515-293-2026

Happy Pet Month! Let's celebrate by having all our pet owners share a photo of their loved pet in the comments below!
