Their adoption process

WAHS requires an application to be filled out for all visits of the animals in the shelter. It will ask for your current vet if you have a pet or have owned one in the last five years. 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 contacted 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.)

Adoption steps

  1. Submit Application
    All available animals are listed on our website, winonahumane.org/adopt. Submit an application to schedule an appointment and meet them!
  2. Approve Application
    If your application is approved, you'll be contacted to schedule a visiting time.
    Note: applications may take up to a week to process.
  3. Meet the Pet
    You'll spend time with the animal, or others if you're undecided. An application does not require you to adopt the specific pet you list.
  4. Sign Adoption Contract
    Should you and the pet be a perfect match, we'll set up an adoption appointment! Paperwork will be signed at that time.
  5. Pay Fee
    Adoption fees differ based on the age & size of the animal, as well as vet care needed.
  6. Take the Pet Home
    Following paperwork and payment, you're off to begin life with your forever friend.

More about this shelter

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.
