A nearby county is dealing with a dire situation where they needed help placing an upwards of 200 animals.
Many shelters/rescues stepped up to help in this great time of need and we appreciate each and every one of them!

These adorable 6 were brought in yesterday, at this time we only know name/age of each dog. While they settle in, we will learn about each pup. They are not ready for adoption yet, but soon!

DHS is asking for our communities help with fostering, adopting, monetary donations for medical care and dog food.

Please email [email protected] with any inquiries or questions.

Welcome to DHS, Lyle, Mort, Willow, Echo, Sophie and Solo!

Our shoe drive fundraiser isnā€™t just about helping usā€”itā€™s about transforming lives. šŸ‘ŸāœØ
In countries like Haiti, Cambodia, Ghana, and Guatemala, shoes mean opportunity. Without them, kids are kept out of school and families stay trapped in poverty. With them, small businesses thrive, education becomes possible, and communities grow stronger.
Every pair you donate makes a real difference!

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 wonā€™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. Itā€™s easy - simply click on the ā€œLearn Moreā€ button on our page. This will take you to our website, scroll down to the bottom for the ā€œdonateā€ button.
