Euthanasia and Cremation
As pet owners, we understand what it is like to lose a pet. Our pets are members of our family and deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. Although many prefer to bury their companion animals, some choose cremation as an acceptable alternative. Our caring staff is available to guide you through the cremation planning process…answering questions, making arrangements, and ensuring your beloved pet receives a dignified disposition.

ROMP – Summer School Program
Romp With The Animals is a Summer school program designed to develop a child’s appreciation and respect for the many animals we share the earth with, and to foster responsible attitudes toward those animals as well as our environment. Romp is held four days a week from 8:00am – 5:00pm for children going into 1st through 5th grade.

School Visits
“Teaching a child not to step on a caterpillar is as valuable to the child as it is to the caterpillar…” Bradley Miller Education is a large component of The Washington County Humane Society’s mission. Our Humane Educator goes into schools, after-school programs and day care centers teaching children about responsible pet care, bite prevention, and the role of the Humane Society in their community. Scout and church groups visit the shelter for tours and presentations as well. Approximately 1500 school-age children benefit from these programs annually.

Surrender Information
WCHS recognizes that unexpected things can happen in our lives that require us to make changes. Please know that we will do everything in our power to ensure your surrendered animal is placed in a responsible, loving home.

Training
It is the goal of WCHS to provide training programs that result in happy, confident and obedient dogs as well as happy, confident and satisfied owners. We believe that our relationships with dogs should be achieved through comprehensive obedience training and owner education. We further believe that it is important to provide training classes in a positive environment to enable dogs to become safe, well-behaved, and valued family members. Dogs that have more serious behavior concerns requiring specific behavior correction may be referred to a behavior specialist.

TNR Program
Our TNR (Trap, Neuter, Return) program is one of the two programs WCHS has that are designed to reduce the high numbers of cats in our county. TNR is a method of controlling and reducing the number of feral (wild) cats, and has been well received primarily in non-incorporated municipalities.
