All too often, when the interests of man and animal are in conflict, man prevails. Animal welfare is a social matter, of which, people need learn to be passionate. The Eau Claire County Humane Association is dedicated to educating the public about the need for humane treatment of all animals and responsible pet ownership. We must rely on donations from our friends and supporters who share our beli

ef that every animal deserves the opportunity to be adopted into a loving home. Because it is difficult to run a shelter based solely on donations, our success depends on you. You CAN make a difference. Your generous support of the Humane Association will help us to feed and care for our local pets until they are adopted into a loving home.

Happy Staff Sunday - meet Ali, our new Foster Coordinator!

If you've been to the shelter, there is no doubt you already know Ali. She started her journey with ECCHA in 2024 as a full-time animal caretaker, was promoted to one of our team leads, and now, foster coordinator!

Not only does Ali have an established tenure with ECCHA, but she brings with her a wealth of animal knowledge. She obtained her Bachelor's Degree from UW-River Falls in Animal Science with and Equine emphasis, and grew up around all kinds of animals - horses, dogs, cats, rabbits, you name it!

We are thrilled to continue to work with Ali - please give her a warm congratulations in the comments below 👇

Have you every wanted to name a shelter cat? Keep reading 👀

We are offering 6 members of our community to name a cat if they purchase this item off our wish list! These specific cat trees are the purr-fect size for our atrium kitties (tall glass enclosure.) This will allow the atrium cats to utilize more vertical space in their enclosure, leading to happier shelter cats. These trees can also be sanitized properly, which is why we need these particular ones.

How to name a cat:
💸 Purchase one of these cat trees from our wish list
📸 Take a screenshot of your approved purchase and delivery
📨 Email [email protected] or send via Facebook messanger with a cat name

There are also other items on our wish list we would love to have donated - code red items include non-clumping litter, adult dry cat food, and kitten wet food. Link is below 👇

Please note: staff have the ability to veto a name if deemed innapropriate

We had nearly 50 kiddos from the Gilmanton School District visit today!

They got to tour the shelter, help make kongs for our dogs, and filled our cart up with donations. We are incredibly lucky to have so many young animal lovers in our community!

Sammy is a weird dude. We can't sugarcoat it any more. Don't get us wrong - we LOVE him, but he is...quirky.

Quirk #1: What is he? We don't know. He only weighs about 30 lbs, he's got short little legs and big ol' ears. What is that? How can he still jump so high?

Quirk #2: He uses a litter box. Yes, really. Sammy was adopted and returned due to not being potty trained, so on a whim we decided to try a litterbox. He hasn't pooped on the kennel floor at ECCHA since. Who taught him that? How does he know this?

Quirk #3: He does OK with dogs, but he has this thing where he bites boys'...you know. Yeah, seriously. He was hanging out with our friends up at Paws and Claws who confirmed it. Why are you like this, Sammy?

More than his quirks, Sammy is also a fun loving, snuggly boy who wants nothing more than a family to call his own. At just 5 years old, he is ready to pack up his litter box and make his way to a home. He may do okay with a resident dog, but a meet and greet is a must to set them both up for success.

To sweeten the deal, Sammy's adoption fee is sponsored, which means you can take him home for no upfront cost!

Someone please take this lovable little weirdo: eccha.org/adopt

Memorial Day and Your Pet: Do's & Dont's

In 2025, the day after Memorial Day showed the highest stray intake numbers for the entire year. Holiday travel, unfamiliar environments, and changes to daily routines can make it easier for pets to become nervous and lost. Gatherings and outdoor activities often mean more open doors and gates, while loud noises like fireworks can startle pets and cause them to flee.

If you have to bring your pet somewhere else this Memorial Day, take these extra precautionary steps:

🐕If outdoors, your pet should be leashed. Sometimes, even short fences are not enough to keep a scared dog in, so having an extra safety system in place is essential.
✅Update microchip information before going to a new place - pets who are chipped are 3x more likely to be reunited with their owner vs pets who are not.
📍Keep collars with tags on at all times. If you utilize an airtag for your pet, make sure they are charged before going to a new or uncomfortable spot.
🎆ECCHA highly recommends leaving your pet home during fireworks. If your pet is fearful of loud noises, provide them a comforting space in your home with low noise and light, such as their kennel or a bathroom.
