This is by far one of the worst shelters around. They take animals not mater what, they also kill animals that are perfectly healthy. they kill the animals if they been there to long and if they need room for new animals. There is a worker there that is not nice to the animals and the manager dose not care, When I was there this worker throw a cat in to s cage it was scared and it hissed, so because of that she put it as a non adoptable cat. Really it was a scared cat. The next day I went in to ask if I could adopt it and they said no that the cat was not adoptable, and will have to be euthanized.

Love that they don't turn needy animals away and charge fees! It's hard to find repubatle shelters these days.

Why can't ALL shelters emulate Sauk County? The animals are the priority. Period. Their focus is 100 percent on what's in the animals' best interests.

The Sauk County Humane Society truly cares about animals. It's an open-admission shelter! NO animal is turned away in it's time of need! I love to visit the animals, especially the dogs!

I have adopted 7 animals from here they all were great additions to my family. A great place to adopt from, knowledgeable, friendly staff, clean place. They are there for you even after the adoption. Below are 3 of the 7 pets that I adopted from Sauk County Humane Society.

I have adopted both my dogs from here. They are very caring people. They do everything they can to make the process as easy as possible. Also, the care they give the animals is by far the best I've ever seen in a humane society.

Adopted a cat from the SCHS. Asked to see about 15 cats to find one that was the right fit for our family. The staff worked patiently with us and we could not have been happier with the result! The facility is cleaner than others in the state and has a friendly vibe. Definitely recommend!

I applaud the Sauk County H.S. for keeping its doors open to every animal in need and never turning away animals just to make its "statistics" look more appealing. Every community needs a shelter like this!

The Sauk County Humane Society truly cares about animals. It's an open-admission shelter--accepting all animals and never turning them away. I love the Sauk County Humane Society!!

We have adopted two rabbits and were very pleased with our experience. This shelter takes in many animals from surrounding areas that other humane societies turn away. Their spay/neuter program is affordable and is tackling the problem of pet overpopulation at the source. They also help some of my friends with food and litter through their pet food pantry.

Thank goodnes for open admission shelters like this one! Staff is knowledgeable and compassionate. They truly understand the needs of all animals. My husband and I appreciate their assistance.

They were very helpful when we found a cat and her newborn kittens by the side of the road. We live in another county and tried three other places before we finally found this shelter. The staff was caring and welcoming. We ended up adopting one of the kittens after they were weaned! Great shelter!!

The SCHS is one of the only open admissions shelters in the area. They turn no animal away, including wildlife. People that find sick or injured animals (usually cats or kittens) drive to other shelters only to be turned away (they are full they say, or they have "enough" cats). When they finally find out about SCHS, these people are incredibly relieved. Someone will finally help.

This is one of the only open admissions shelter in the entire state of Wisconsin. We are very lucky to have the shelter in our community where they put the welfare of the animals before anything else. They never turn an animal away, even if it's injured, old or near death. The surrounding shelters routinely turn animals away.

My wife and I adopted a dog from here and were very impressed with how thorough and professional everyone was. The shelter was clean and everyone really cares for the animals. Highly recommend it!

This prison environment. for these poor. defenseless animals is a joke.The discrimination practices. run rampant. here.Dana Madalon treats potential. adoptees like criminals.Look at their. rating,it's 1 of the lowest. rated shelters. in Wisconsin.Please ask yourselfs why that is?Please go to the petition website and. read all of the discrimination practices are involved in and make up your own mind.Hopefully you will sign it and help rid this shelter of this BITCH once and for all.THANK-YOU

I adopted a cat from SCHS and it was a great experience. I've been a volunteer there for years and they've never claimed to be a "no kill" shelter. Unlike "no kill" shelters, they don't turn around and dump cats back to the outdoors to fend for themselves and die horrible deaths. They don't turn animals away in their time of need, unlike other shelters in the area.

These people told my grandma that they are a NO KILL shelter. My grandma resuces cats all over town and cares for them, get them fixed, tame them down and then finds home for them. She had over 30 cats and it was getting to much she called around to find a no kill shelter. They told her that if they cant place them they give them to another county cause they have a high record of placing animals. SO grandma took 20 cats there. She sent 3 that she promised to a little girl and her family, so they went back to get them and they said they dont give them back so my grandpa offered to buy them back and they admitted to putting every single cat down. There was nothing wrong with these cats. IT was not even 24 hours from the time they brought them there they had killed every single cat.NO KILL SHELTER LIARS!!!
