The mission of the Humane Society of Jefferson County is to improve the lives of animals in need through compassionate care, adoption, advocacy and education while also inspiring humane communities that foster kindness and respect for all.

We care for more than 2,400 animals annually through adoptions, assistance for strays, our Community Cat Program, Safe Keep services, and collaborative veterinary efforts with other shelters. The Humane Society of Jefferson County is a 501©(3) nonprofit organization and holds a Four-Star rating on Charity Navigators, a Platinum Seal on GuideStar, and a No-Kill award from Best Friends Society. Through education and advocacy, the Humane Society of Jefferson County is building a healthier future for pets and their human partners.

The Dodge County Humane Society, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) not for profit organization and donations are tax deductible. We receive no government funding and rely heavily on donations to keep our doors open. Our purpose in Dodge County is to ensure all animals are treated humanely, to reduce the number of unwanted, stray animals, and to make every adoptable pet in a home as quickly as possible. We also make every effort to reunite lost pets with their owners, promote spaying and neutering as a way of controlling pet over population, offer guidance to anyone who asks for help with a pet. When it comes to an injured anmial, we do our best to come to the aid of them and provide euthanasia when it's determined to be in the best interest of the animal.

The Watertown Humane Society provides care to those greatest in need including animals of Watertown and the surrounding communities. We contract with the following municipalities: City of Watertown, Town of Watertown, City of Waterloo, Town of Milford, Town of Ixonia, Town of Concord, Village of Clyman (dogs only), and Village of Lowell (dogs only). We give new beginnings to over 800 dogs, cats and small animals a year.

Our shelter helps all animals in need regardless of age, health or background. We believe every pet deserves a home and take great pride in the exceptional care that is given to each and every pet while they wait for their new family. Because of this, we save over ninety percent of all animals that come into our shelter.
