🍂 Love is in the Leaves! This November, fall in love with your new best friend — all long-stay pets have no adoption fee all month long! ❤️🐾

Meet the adorable Nikita, a playful pup who's ready to bounce her way into your heart and home! This affectionate and gentle girl, formerly known as Pistachio, is a bundle of energy and joy. Nikita, at 2 years old, has had some twists and turns in her young life but remains a loving and loyal companion. She's house and kennel-trained, and while she may need some help with her manners, she's a quick learner and eager to please.

Nikita is a social butterfly who loves people and enjoys her walks around town. Nikita has lived with other dogs but has been selective with her doggie friends at the shelter. She's always up for a game and has a blast running and playing outdoors. She enjoys her outdoor pool time! With her playful spirit, she'd be the perfect addition to a home in the country, where she can explore and watch over her new domain.

Don't let her energetic side fool you, though; Nikita is also a cuddle bug who loves nothing more than to snuggle up and show her affectionate side. She's a true friend and will be by your side through thick and thin.

Maybel is a sweet and affectionate girl who came to DHS as a stray. She loves humans and seeks attention whenever you are close by. Maybel is sweet as sugar and such a lovebug. She would make a great snuggle buddy!

Maybel seems to enjoy the company of only humans, and not other kitties, but we will continue to see how she feels after she has been here longer.

Our Story

We are the Driftless Humane Society, License #466290, located in Viroqua, Wisconsin. We are dedicated to rescuing, returning and re-homing cats and dogs in the community. Our mission is to rescue, our dream is one day we won’t have to.

We are a no-kill shelter. Unfortunately, circumstances sometimes dictate euthanization of an animal in the event of serious illness or injury or extreme behavioral disorders. We do not euthanize due to overcrowding, ever.

We are not funded by any national organization, nor are we supported by Vernon County. Our operations are funded solely through adoptions, donations and contracts with individual municipalities. We continually operate in the red .... please consider a donation. It’s easy - simply click on the “Learn More” button on our page. This will take you to our website, scroll down to the bottom for the “donate” button.

See our adoptable dogs and cats at Petfinder.com, or stop by during our open hours to visit.
