ADOPTION SAVES TWO LIVES.
The adopted pet will have a safe, caring permanent home with you and
another space becomes available in our Shelter to rescue a homeless pet in need. All of our animals are local animals looking for their forever homes. They come to us through various ways... either being surrender, strays not claimed, police or tribal officers or abandoned. Regardless of how they end up here, they are vetted, cared for and given love until their forever home is found. We are a small team, but we do the best we can to meet the growing number of animals that come to us for care. We strive to do the best we can on a very limited budget. Although, it is a daily struggle we are blessed beyond measure by our supporters.
*Please Note:
If you become approved to adopt from us and choose to commit to a certain animal that at the time is too young to adopt or may still need vaccinations or spay/neuter, we will accept a deposit to hold the animal for you until he/she is ready to go home but please know that if you change your mind or if your circumstances change and you are no longer able to complete the adoption, these deposits are nonrefundable.
The amount of this "HOLD FEE" varies, is set by Shelter management and depends on the animal in question.
:The Adoption Process:
When you decide to adopt an animal from Forest County Humane Society and
are at least 18 years of age you must:
Fill out an application and meet the animal you wish to adopt.
If you rent please bring a copy of your lease or written approval from your landlord.

*Click here to view our Adoption Form*
After completion of an application, time for approval will vary as we are very short staffed.
The adoption fee includes a spay/neuter, a 5-way vaccine, a CVI exam, a rabies vaccine, a 4 DX Blood Panel check, heartworm and flea and tick preventatives on all dogs that are old enough at time of adoption. We reserve the right to deny any application. We do not adopt on a first come basis, we find the best matched home to each pet's needs. If approved to take home a canine, please bring along a leash at time of pick up, or a carrier for a cat or kitten. We will not allow a cat or kitten to go home without one.
Dog of the Month
Zeatrice
mixed breed
Introducing Zeatrice, also known as “Crazy Frog.” Zeatrice is not currently available for adoption, as she was surrendered to our care with heartworm disease. She is also the mother of the previewed puppies pictured below, and her story is one that we hope will reach the hearts of many. We are sharing her case to provide an important reminder about the need for consistent heartworm prevention. Although the Northwoods region is often associated with tick-borne illnesses such as Lyme disease, we are increasingly seeing dogs test positive for heartworms. Heartworm disease is a serious, potentially fatal condition that is difficult for dogs to endure and costly to treat. The disease is transmitted by mosquitoes, which can carry heartworm larvae from an infected animal to another dog.When left untreated, heartworm disease may cause significant and lasting damage to the heart, lungs, and associated blood vessels. Adult heartworms can grow up to one foot in length and reside in these vital areas, placing strain on a dog’s respiratory and circulatory systems. Clinical signs may include coughing, severe fatigue, weakness, weight loss, difficulty breathing, fluid accumulation, and, in advanced cases, heart failure or sudden collapse. For dogs like Zeatrice, prevention can mean the difference between a healthy future and a long, difficult recovery. At this time, Zeatrice is responding well to treatment, and we are grateful to the veterinary professionals supporting her care. Her recovery will require an extended and carefully managed course of treatment, including continued heartworm care, flea and tick prevention, annual wellness examinations, and follow-up blood testing. Every step of her care matters, and every contribution helps provide the support she needs to continue healing. Those who wish to support Zeatrice’s care or contribute toward the cost of her medications may contact us at foresthumane1@yahoo.com. We will continue to provide updates regarding her progress on our webpage

Meet Frazier, the ultimate furry tornado of joy! This young, loyal, and ridiculously smart pup prefers the spotlight as the only animal in the house.

Dodger
Whippet/Bull Terrier Mix
Meet the dashing Dodger! This wonderful young adult mixed breed is bursting with energy and playfulness. Dodger is great on a leash but has a knack for being an escape artist. His ideal home would be with someone who leads an active lifestyle and has plenty of space for him to burn off his energy. He is dog selective and due to his deep prey drive for catching rodents, or rabbits, he has to be an only pet. He may do well in a home where he is the smallest dog, and proper introduction. But, if he gets off his leash or out of his fenced yard, he absolutely will follow his nose to find a rabbit or squirrel, and you will never catch him again. He is a lover, and a great little dog but he has hunting fever and there is no stopping him. He is neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated, has completed blood work, and has been vet-checked. If you’re ready to meet the charming Dodger, submit your application ASAP! SL268240
Raj
Young Male Husky
Meet Raj. Raj is a young adult male husky, that is here waiting for his forever home. He is incredibly sweet as he is gorgeous. As like all huskies, he is an escape artist and will need a hoime with a fenced yard and someone with an active lifestyle to help him get the exercise he requires. He is neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated and has had blood tests ran. He is a great dog that may make the perfect family companion you are searching. He will not be good as an apartment size dog.

Melly
After her Bath
Sweetest Girly Ever
Meet Melly! Melly has been on a missin to regain her health this summer at the FCHS. She came to us, almost completely bald, covered in so many skin infections, and other infections that we were not sure she would have a strong enough immune system to overcome them all. She also came back positive with lymes disease and anaplasmosis, which are both tickborn illnesses. With three time a week medicated baths, many medications and a lot of love and patience, Melly is thriving and getting better daily. She needs a special food if you would like to help contribute to her food fund please contact us for a direct link where you can help buy some for her. Shes not ready for her new home just yet, but even from this video, she has grown more fur back and is even more healthy. We are just showing our precious Melly in hopes to get the perfect home underway.
Milly
Female Adult Terrier

Meet Milly! She’s a one-of-a-kind, playful girl who strolls beautifully on a leash after her initial burst of excitement fades. Once she feels safe and trusts you, Milly reveals her incredibly affectionate side. Her perfect home would be with a single family and no children, where she can thrive in a calm and loving environment. Although she has never bitten anyone, Milly is devotedly protective of her person and her home. If you’re ready to discover more about Miss Milly, send in your application—she could be the perfect little love you’ve been dreaming of. SL268240
