Shelter FAQs
MISSION
The purpose of Winona Area Humane Society is to prevent cruelty to animals, relieve the suffering of animals, and provide humane education throughout the Winona area.
It is the policy of the Society to provide humane care and treatment for animals needing protection in the area served by the Society; to seek to return lost animals to their owners; to seek suitable homes for animals without owners. Winona Area Humane Society actively works against breed specific discrimination. WAHS does not and will never discriminate against any animal based on breed, type, color, height, weight, or disability. In its care and disposition of animals, the Society follows all standards prescribed by the Humane Society of the United States.
ABOUT WAHS
Operating since 1992, Winona Area Humane Society (WAHS) is a no-kill shelter that places hundreds of cats and dogs in loving forever homes every year. Our mission to help homeless animals is achieved mostly through fundraising, generous donations, and adoption/surrender fees; we do not receive state or federal funding.
We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and rely on donations and fees to provide for the care of animals and shelter operating costs. Most of the areas we serve compensate us for initial medical care and five to seven days of boarding for each animal. Any additional medical costs, daily care, and spaying/neutering is covered by us. Despite having “Humane Society” in our name, we are not a branch or subsidiary of either the Humane Society of the United States or the American Humane Society. We do not receive funding from either group.
SERVICES
1. Boarding and medical care for abandoned and stray animals. Since we are a no-kill shelter, we do not set a limit to the amount of time an animal can stay at our shelter.
2. Advertising of stray cats and dogs received by the Society.
3. Spaying, neutering, and microchipping of animals in our care.
4. Placement of stray and abandoned animals needing new homes.
5. Boarding and placement of adoptable animals in the event the owner is incapacitated and is unable to continue to care for them.

You will also be asked for your full name and birth date in order to run a simple background check. Should your application be approved, you'll be called or emailed to set up a visit!
(Additional note: If you rent a house or an apartment, we do ask you have your landlord fill out a verification form to make sure they are okay with you having an animal.)
