Tiny Beretta was found all alone in town. She is scared, but once held for a while, she will begin to soften up and purr. She is approximately 12 weeks old. She would do best in a quieter home with another kitty friend to help her adjust to indoor living.

Beretta's care has generously been sponsored by Animal Tracks Veterinary Service through our DHS Bestie's Program.

Adoption gives animals a second chance at life. Use this month, Second Chances September, to help our shelter animals find their fur-ever homes. ❤

September 1st is Ginger Cat Appreciation Day! These are the available Gingers that we have available for adoption! 😉🧡

Did you know...?
The luscious orange color in a cat’s coat comes from the ‘ginger gene’, which is in the X chromosome. Male cats need a single chromosome to inherit the orange color, whereas females need two. This is why male ginger cats outnumber their female counterparts by 3:1.

Wednesday was our FIRST Low-Cost Pet Care Clinic where we protected 20 dogs and cats against rabies and distemper, as well as FREE microchipping. It was a great SUCCESS!

Thank you to Dr. Lori Rockwell, DVM, Emily Olson from Vernon County Health Department, and the numerous staff and volunteers that made this possible.

Next one will be on 9/25 from 4-6 PM. Stay tuned for details. If you want to help with the next event, hit us up!

These clinics are a pilot project in partnership with the Vernon County Health Department and Lost Dogs of WI.

Little Chaplin came to us from another shelter, all his littermates have found their forever homes and this sweet lad is waiting patiently for his own family. He is a character with lots of charm! He likes to play and chase the other kittens but as soon as he sees a person he is all about you! Chaplin has to know what's going on so he doesn't miss an exciting adventure!

Chaplin's care has generously been supported by Good Shepherd Lutheran Church through our DHS Besties Program.

Lily is a sweet 6yo German Shorthair pointer mix who has found herself here with us after the death of her owner. She loves water, fetch, and squeaky toys. Lily is a strong girl with plenty of energy, she will need some help with her leash manners and is a fence jumper. She does have some resource guarding with food/toys/space so she may do best with no other dogs. Lily has a high prey drive, so no cats or small animals in the home.

Lily's care has generously been supported by Vernon Communications Cooperative through our DHS Besties Program.

Plum is one of three kittens that came to us after their mom disappeared. She and her sister Pineapple love to waste away their days jumping around, playing, and snuggling with each other. The two of them together are just the silliest of sisters.

Plum's care has generously been sponsored by Quality of Life Chiropractic through our DHS Bestie program!

This beautiful soul is off to college next week at the UW-Madison. Chelsea Louise has been the DHS Volunteer Coordinator for over 2 years.

She built our current volunteer program from the ground-up, led numerous orientations, helped with social media, worked as an Animal Care Specialist, covered the front office, and coordinated our Pennies to Pounds fundraiser. All of this with a beautiful smile on her face!

She is going to be greatly missed but is going to be a phenomenal marine veterinarian one day - go get 'em, Chelsea!

Her last day is today and she is working the front office from 10-2 pm. Stop in and give her a BIG thank you for all the hard work, dedication, and love for the animals!

GUESS WHAT?!?

We reached over $1,000 in sales during our August Pampered Chef party!!! That means that 45% of sales are donated to DHS!! Big thanks to everyone that ordered!

One more week until the party closes, so get your order in. Can't find anything you need? Consider buying something to donate to DHS. We would LOVE: spatulas, donut hole pan (for treat making), apple corer (for Kong making), and bottle brush set.

If you need to place an order or buy something for DHS, reach out to Betty's Kitchen Happy Life or join the party: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/tnMYM6ZsedThCn8s/

Yuki is a 3-year-old Siberian Husky who loves to splash around in the pool all day long! Yuki is house and crate-trained. She is very smart and knows "sit, down, come, and shake." We just know she is ready to learn more! Yuki will need an active home with lots of outdoor time. She loves to play fetch and go for rides in the car.

Yuki's care has generously been supported by Animal Tracks Veterinary Service through our DHS Besties Program.

Orange boys are the best! Tango and Caesar are buddies who sometimes play like teenage brothers but will also just hang out together!

Tango has a cute shorter tail, and Caesar is super spunky! Both of these boys would do well as "Rodent Patrol Officers"!

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.
