Community Spotlight: Dane County Humane Society

At Beacon, we are involved in our community by giving back to local organizations and charitable efforts. We also take pride in sponsoring and attending events and assisting organizations, like the Dane County Humane Society (DCHS).

DCHS provides refuge, healing, and new beginnings to thousands of companion animals, exotic species, farm animals, and injured or orphaned wild animals every year. DCHS is a private, non-profit, community-supported organization and is not affiliated with any government agency or national animal welfare organization. They are an open admission shelter accepting all animals that need assistance regardless of age, health status, or temperament. DCHS has an adoption guarantee, meaning all healthy or treatable animals can stay at DCHS as long as it takes to find a loving home.

As one of the nation’s leading animal welfare organizations, DCHS offers humane education programs, community-based care for pets, foster care for animals for victims of domestic abuse, a pet food pantry, dog training classes, wildlife rehabilitation, and much more. Their volunteers and professionals come together every day in the spirit of “Helping People Help Animals,” and together create a culture of compassion, empathy, integrity, and accountability. Whether you are looking to bring a new pet into your family, searching for your lost pet, found a wild animal in need of assistance, have made the difficult decision to surrender your pet or are looking for educational opportunities, DCHS is here to help.

DCHS holds several fundraising events throughout the year, including Bark & Wine – proudly sponsored by Beacon Technologies. This year, Bark & Wine will be held on Saturday, September 21st.

All proceeds go to provide comfort and care to animals. For more information on DCHS, click here.
