Check out our Home for the Holidays campaign, which we are doing again this year! If you are wanting to adopt but you are unsure of what or who you are wanting, this could be the solution for you!

Fill out the survey and we will select the animal that we think would be the best fit for you! If you choose to adopt the animal that we select for you based on your answers, you will get 50% off of their adoption fee!

If this sounds like something that you are interested in, please fill out our survey/application, which can be found on our website under the applications tab!

With the weather that we have been getting and the temps dropping, we want to remind all of our fur baby families to drive carefully, they won't know why you never came home.

Friendly reminder that kindness is free!

We have received an astounding amount of owner surrender applications over the past few months. We are literally doing EVERYTHING WE CAN to help as many people as possible, but we cannot overextend ourselves for the sake of the animals we have, the wonderful staff and volunteers we have here helping, and the space that we have for these animals.

We understand that there are sometimes extenuating circumstances and/or you possibly didn't ask for the situation that you are in, but we can only do so much. We will help in any capacity that we can, but we have to care for the kiddos that we have on-site too.

We always welcome volunteers, so if you would like to help us out instead of being rude you are always welcome!

*Disclaimer: We don't have a single open kennel for cats or dogs, we have animals living in areas that are less than ideal, empty kennels in this video mean dogs are outside or being socialized and cats are being socialized.*

*If you are interested in volunteering, shoot us a message on here!*

Check out our handsome man Buck!!

Buck is the epitome of a teddy bear! He wants to be with you and next to you all the time, making him the perfect couch buddy! He came in due to no fault of his own, his owner passed away. He has lived with other dogs and around livestock. He does well around other dogs, but does prefer females. We do believe he can live with males if there is proper introductions done. He is never aggressive or reactive. Buck is an amazing boy, don't let any of this deter you from meeting him, trust us, he is worth it!

Buck is up to date on his vaccinations and is neutered. If you are interested in Buck, please submit an adoption application, which can be found on our website: humanesocietyofnwia.com.

Kittle is still looking for his forever home, we would prefer he is an only dog as he’s had a lot of stressors in his life which he also could use some training to help with that, but we have found out that if the other dog is calm and quiet he may be able to feel comfortable!
