Humane Society of Douglas County

The Humane Society of Douglas County, Inc. (HSDC) is a 501(c) 3 nonprofit organization that was founded in July of 1975 in Superior, Wisconsin. The purpose of this society is the prevention of cruelty to animals, the relief of suffering among animals, and the extension of humane education. We rely heavily on tax-deductible donations, memberships, adoptions, and fundraisers to keep our doors open to the homeless animals of our area. HSDC provides shelter, medical care and adoption services to abandoned, lost and misplaced animals. We provide services for approximately 1,000 animals each year from the City of Superior and Douglas County. Every animal that enters our facility is dewormed, vaccinated, and given immediate medical attention when necessary. All animals are vet checked, spayed or neutered, micro chipped, and temperament tested before being adopted. HSDC provides humane euthanasia only when behaviorally or medically necessary. HSDC is proud that no adoptable animals are ever euthanized.
