The Main Shelter and Thrift Store are closing at 4:00 pm Friday, March 24, for a special event. Adoption visits are first-come, first-served. We recommend checking our current waitlist prior to your visit. Most other services are by appointment only, including reuniting lost animals, surrendering a pet, wildlife rehabilitation, and more.
DCHS's Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the shelter. The Board is comprised of community members committed to the mission of Helping People Help Animals. Board members volunteer their time.
Board members are chosen either by appointment from the Board or by election from DCHS members at the annual meeting.
Please review the following documents carefully before deciding to pursue a Board of Director seat. If after considering this information you decide to continue, please contact Pam McCloud Smith, DCHS Executive Director, at (608) 838-0413 ext. 111.
