The Waupun Area Animal Shelter, Inc. is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization run solely by donations. It is the policy of the Shelter to provide humane care and treatment for cats and dogs needing protection in the area served by the shelter, to seek to return lost cats and dogs to their owners, to seek suitable homes for cats and dogs without owners, and attempt to assist with care and placement of unmentioned species.
The Waupun Area Animal Shelter, Inc. was established to serve the City of Waupun and the surrounding contracted areas through responsible, legal and humane handling of strays and unwanted pets and to raise the consciousness in the Waupun area in order to promote responsible pet ownership.
We do not support the movement by some national humane groups to abolish the raising of animals for food or clothing, etc., or the raising of companion animals to serve or accompany man. Nor do we support any movement to abolish the responsible hunting of un-endangered species of wild game animals. But rather we feel that because domestic animals do serve man in a variety of ways, they are entitled to humane and responsible lifetime care from their human friends.
Adopting a friend
Once you've visisted the shelter and you find a pet you want to call your own the next step is to fill out an adoption application. There is a 24 hour wait once the application has been handed in. During that time our shelter director reviews your application and decides if you are the right person for that animal. We will then call you if you have been approved. Adoption requirements are that you must be 18 years of age or older, you must show proof of home ownership or have landlord approval, your entire family must meet the animal, dog applicants must have dog-to-dog introductions.
