We are currently seeking donations for the increased cost of spaying & neutering of our animals. We have a personalized tagging machine, it takes about 5 minutes and we have a variety of tags to choose from. You are able to take the tag home w/ you the same day. The price is $7.00 for one side or $10.00 for 2 sides. Volunteers are needed at the shelter. We have a volunteer form you must fill out & then you need to attend a volunteer orientation before you volunteer here at our facility, its about an hour long. We have a wide variety of tasks that we need volunteers for. You can call, email or stop in for more information! Thank you.
The Humane Society of Goodhue county is a private, non-profit organization established September 15, 1983. A hand full of dedicated volunteers saw the need for a Humane Society and took it upon themselves to help the stray, abandon, sick and homeless animals in the area.
In the Spring of 1990 we began building our current shelter at 1213 Brick Ave. in Red Wing. February of 1991 we welcomed the first animals into the shelter, no longer relying solely on foster homes. Soon there after it became apparent that a larger facility would be needed to meet all of our needs.
In the summer of 2002 we began our building addition. Currently we are able to house 100 animals, counting litters of puppies and kittens. Our facility now has 17 indoor/outdoor kennels for adoption dogs. The kennel has heated cement floors and air conditioning for those hot summer months. Our cat room is not yet completed. Because of the poor economical times being felt exceptionally hard at our shelter, we are unable to complete the larger new cat room.
Our retail area has expanded with the addition. We carry some Sensible Choice & Purina.
The addition allowed us enough room to add Boarding and Grooming to the shelter. Come down and see our facility. We believe you will be impressed with the cleaniness and professionalism of both the Boarding and Grooming departments.
Boarding is $14.50/day if their is one dog in each kennel or $28.00/day for two dogs in a kennel together.
Cat boarding is $12.00/day.
