Thanks to everyone who donated aluminum cans in January! You helped to raise $763.39 for the animals at the shelter! Thank you so much! As a reminder, our can donation bin is located at the west end of the shelter's parking lot.

Recently a small Beagle mix was abandoned by his owners in the country after they decided he was too aggressive with the children (he is now at the shelter after a concerned citizen picked him up on the roadside). Please, please remember that the Lincoln County Humane Society does not charge for surrenders or strays coming in. We will ask for a donation but if the person can't afford it, we will still take the animal. Animals left to fend for themselves face a very bleak future. No consistent food source, traffic, attacks from other animals, and more. Please, if you are unable to keep your pet, contact your local shelter. We are here for the animals.

Anyone who has outdoor pets - please remember your pets need fresh water at all times (snow does not count, it drops the body temperature and makes the animal more likely to develop hypothermia)! You can purchase heated water bowls at any animal supply store. Even thick-coated dogs need protection from the cold wind, please make sure they have an insulated house and a warm escape from the chill. Consider bringing them inside during this time to help protect them!

Thanks to the Tomahawk Star Foundation and an amazing amount of donations, last year LCHS was able to purchase a much-needed industrial washing machine. This machine has saved countless staff hours by washing the laundry more efficiently and quickly.

Unfortunately our standard dryers just cannot keep up, we are hoping to purchase an industrial dryer soon to help us with the amount of laundry we have to do each day.

Every dollar will help us with this purchase! Would you be willing to donate so the kitties and pups can have clean blankets to sleep on? On our website you can donate via paypal, otherwise checks can be sent to 200 N. Memorial Drive Merrill, WI 54452. Please designate that the donation is for the new dryer. Thank you so much!

‎2012 Lincoln County Dog Licenses are available for sale at LCHS! Remember to get yours before March 31st or the prices go up! It's only $5 for a spayed or neutered dog and $15 for unaltered dogs. You can buy them at LCHS and we will get a portion of the sales. Remember to bring your dog's current rabies vaccine info! Call us at (715) 536-3459 with any questions.

Thanks to Merrill Area Senior High's FBLA! Your generous donation from your brat fry is greatly appreciated!

A unique consignment store in Tomahawk is making it easier and more appealing for people to help the Lincoln County Humane Society. Caring Consignments provides 20% of the purchase price of the items you consign to a charity of your choice.

Here's how it works: If you bring in an item and it sells for $10, you get $4.00 (40%), the store gets $4.00 (40%), and your charity gets $2.00 (20%).

We at the LCHS think this is a great business model, and we are excited for this concept to really take off! If you have items you'd like to consign, please 715-224-3131. Caring Consignments is located at 1336 N 4th street, in the Northwoods Party Supply Store building.
