Please click on the adoptable pet list above. Because all our animals are very special to us, how could we single out just one to feature? We also feature our adoptable friends in weekly newspapers in the area. Would you like to sponsor a "Pet of the Week" feature? If so, please contact hiawathaanimal@hotmail.com or coopkrn@hotmail.com for more information on getting your name and sponsorship in the local newspapers. This has been very popular for area businesses and individuals wishing to honor or dedicate a memorial to their special friend(s).
News
We meet the second Tuesday of each month at 6:30 P.M. in the Lake City Public Library. The library is located on the corner of West Center Street and High Street. Members and non-members are encouraged to come share their time with others who advocate responsible animal ownership and take measures to help those in need. The area we cover in includes all of Wabasha County and parts of Southern Goodhue County . Our board members and general membership represent these areas. If you would like to see your community become more involved with us, we encourage your memberships and participation on the board to do so.
Who We Are
The Hiawatha Animal Humane Society was established in 1971. For many years it consisted of a small group of dedicated members who met yearly or as needed. When money was available, spay/neuter rebates were offered at local veterinary offices. In 2004, with the support of this board, many who were original founding members, a major reorganization took place. A new board (9 members strong) is now in place and we boast of a very active organization of over 100+ members (and growing). Our programs include animal adoptions, spay/neuter rebates, pet food vouchers at area food shelves, veterinary care for animals in need, foster home expenses, feral cat control, special needs animals and educational programs in the community , among others. These programs cost us lots of money. We fund our programs through memberhships, adoption fees, fund raisers and outright donations. One of our mainstay fundraisers is the collection of used cell phones and empty printer cartridges (large and small, all makes and models). These items can be dropped off at Gerken's Town and Country in Lake City, Scheel's Super Valu in Wabasha, or Gerken's Town and Country in Wabasha.
Adopting a friend
Our adoption costs are currently $75 for dogs and $50 for cats. All animals of spay/neuter age are altered before leaving our care. We always recommend spaying/neutering your animals. Rebates are available for Wabasha County (Minnesota) residents at participating Wabasha County veterinary clinics when you spay/neuter your pet. Ask your veterinarian for more details. We also have a new program, "seniors for seniors" with reduced adoption fees for senior citizens who are willing to adopt our "older" ( 7+ years old) pets.
Come Visit Us!
We have no shelter for you to visit. We are very proud of the fact that without a shelter we are able to place animals in forever loving homes. We have a bulletin board with posters of animals needing homes at Gerken's Town and Country in Lake City, 801 W. Lyon Ave and at many other Lake City and Wabasha, MN locations. We are also fortunate to have the support of local newspapers to run our Pet of the Week feature. Please pick up a copy of the Wabasha County Herald or Lake City Graphic to see pictures and descriptions of current animals needing homes. We have a large network of people and businesses working with us to find homes for the large numbers of animals in need. These include local veterinary clinics and pet related stores. WE ARE VERY PROUD OF WHAT WE DO.
