Who's Helping Animals

Susanna Bucklin

Thank you Susanna for bringing in supplies to help keep our kitties happy while they await their forever homes!

Wish List

RCHS depends on the community's generosity in donating the funds and supplies to allow us to care for the animals while they await their new homes.

Donated items can be dropped off at the shelter during business hours.  Please do not leave items outdoors as they can be ruined by inclement weather or stolen.  Any items in bold are considered in high demand and continually needed.   Please note:  We are unable to use expired food, food without original packing, or used litterboxes.  If you would like more information on donating items from our wish list, please contact Kate at (608) 752-5622 or volunteers@rockcountyhumanesociety.com.  Thank you in advance for your support!
