Chequamegon Humane Association

Hours: The Chequamegon Humane Association, founded in 1980 as the Chequamegon Animal League, is a dedicated animal shelter located in Ashland, Wisconsin. Originally operated by volunteers from their homes, the organization established a physical shelter on Old Airport Road after receiving a generous bequeath in 1994. This support allowed them to set a high standard of care, ensuring that only animals that are spayed or neutered and up-to-date on vaccinations are available for adoption. Each year, about 1,000 animals pass through the shelter, reflecting its active role in the community. Visitors often find the shelter clean, calm, and friendly. Despite being a smaller facility, it is evident that the animals are well loved and cared for. The staff is highly appreciated for being helpful, patient, and attentive, creating a positive experience for those adopting or visiting. Many adopters have left grateful for the shelter’s support and the loving environment it provides, with some describing their new pets as wonderful and fitting right into their families. The shelter’s commitment to animal care and community service has helped many animals find loving homes and has earned the trust of the local community.
