Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a license for my dog(s).

The State of Wisconsin, like many others, requires you to license your dog(s).  The cost varies depending on where you live, but it is an inexpensive annual license.  The majority of the money collected for the dog licenses in Douglas County is given to the Humane Society of Douglas County to help the homeless animals under our care.  It would provide tremendous financial support for the animal shelter if EVERY dog was licensed.  In addition, the license can help you be reunited should your dog become lost.  Please get your dog(s) licensed and encourage other dog owners to do the same.

Licenses can be purchased at the Humane Society of Douglas County, Town and Village Treasurers, and the City of Superior’s Finance Department.  Proof of a current rabies vaccination is required and must be shown at the time of purchase.

Does HSDC vaccinate, neuter or spay owned animals?

No, we do not vaccinate, spay or neuter owned animals.   We do make sure that all animals belonging to the shelter are vaccinated, spayed or neutered before adoption.
