Stop #2 - South Wood County Humane Society

After leaving CCHS, we headed over to Wisconsin Rapids, WI to stop at the South Wood County Humane Society.

When we arrived, we were not greeted as we were at Clark County, but they also appeared to have a smaller number of staff/volunteers.  We were pointed to a door and told "the dogs are in there".

When we entered, it was chaos.  Lots of dogs, most of which were pitbull mixes, were going bonkers.  There was one person cleaning kennels.  The facilities were nice, but I think they would benefit from more volunteers to assist with dog walking, etc...

We had a chance to meet three dogs at this kennel.  Unfortunately, they were so full of energy that Ike was not happy with any of them.  I do think that they would have done better if the dogs had expended some of that pent up energy.

After 3 very brief introductions, we decided to move on to the next shelter.

If you live near Wisconsin Rapids, I would encourage you to volunteer some time to assist at SWCHS.  This is a great facility and have many pets looking for homes.  While they wait, they need to be walked, exercised and played with.
