About Our Shelter
RCHS is a stray hold facility and adoption center located in Janesville Wisconsin. We are a non-profit organization and depend on donations to operate. We see about 4,000 animals each year.
Come Meet our Pets
Our adoption center is open 7 days a week; Tues-Sun 1-5pm, and Mon is our late day 1-7pm.
Our Adoption Process
An adoption application is required prior to visiting/adopting a pet. Once the application is approved you can visit, place a two day hold, or adopt.
All adoptions include: spay/neuter, distemper shot, de-worm, and a micro-chip. Dog adoptions include a Bordatella vaccine. If we have given a rabies shot, that adds $15.00 to the adoption fee.
Dog adoption and cat
adoption saves lives. Adopt
a dog or adopt a cat and you'll
have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting
a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats
for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs
and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of
dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed
is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten
breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat
or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt
a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane
society or pet rescue group.
