Winona Feed, Seed & More has been an extraordinary ally to Winona Area Humane Society for some years now, and their team is graciously helping homeless pets with this outstanding new donation drive!

Donated funds are accepted at their store throughout September. At the end of the month, they will use the fundraised amount to place an order for our most needed cat and dog food types.

Thank you, Feed & Seed, for your continuous generosity and support of community pets and the organizations that care for them 🥰🐾

Is there anything better than a plentiful pile of toys? According to Viveca, the answer is no 💁‍♀️

Viveca is one of our Ridglan beagles who’s waiting for a special someone to appreciate her reserved, independent personality, and help her blossom.

Early on in her arrival, Viveca became known for collecting toys into endearing little piles 🥹 She thoroughly loves all her trinkets and they bring her great comfort.

Viveca’s ideal calm family must be prepared to develop a slow, steady foundation of trust, possess patience as she gradually adjusts to their home life, have a dog friend to help build her confidence, and, of course, offer a lot of toys!

To learn more about Viveca’s history, review what life may look like with her, and fill out the application to see if you’re a match, go to her full bio on winonahumane.org/adopt 💜
