Rock County Humane Society is contracted to provide animal control services for some municipalities within Rock County. We are not a government agency nor are we contracted by the County. We hold individual contracts with each municipality that chooses our service and therefore services vary by area.
Animals can only be picked up if they are confined. Confining can include putting the animal in your garage, under an inverted laundry basket (if it is very small or injured and will not escape) or in a kennel, crate, or live trap.
Once the animal is confined, call Rock County Humane Society at (608) 752-5622. Please keep in mind that RCHS does not have stray animal control contracts with all municipalities. Some towns, villages, and cities choose to do their own animal control. We will inform you if we can pick the animal up, if you can drop it off, or if your municipality does not provide for any service. If you have questions about stray animals running at large or abuse or neglect concerns, contact your local police or sheriff's department. Each township, village, county and city has its own reporting structure and methods of enforcement.
Stay up to date on the latest animal news and events through our paper and electronic newsletters.
