The Humane Society of Wickenburg was incorporated September 7, 2004 by local residents concerned with the welfare of animals in our community. We are a non-profit 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization as recognized by the IRS and receive no government funding; fiscally surviving solely through grants and donations. Through the generosity of a local rancher, we housed dogs and cats in a horse barn until the property was condemned for the interim bypass around Wickenburg. We were forced to vacate in May 2006 and have been homeless since then. In the meantime, we have continued with our spay/neuter programs and try to speak loudly for those that have no voice by being advocates for animals. In June 2007, we purchased an acre of land at the Business Park and are in the process of drawing up plans for the 5,000 sq. ft. shelter. We are excited about our venture and look forward to cutting the ribbon and opening the doors.We believe strongly in our Mission and hope to enhance the lives of animals and enrich the lives of people by joining the two together in permanent, loving relationships and to encourage responsible pet ownership through public awareness and humane education.  |
