If you are considering getting a dog for the first time, please remember a dog is a ten to fifteen year commitment. Although many people have their minds set on a particular breed and will shop for a dog with breeders and pet stores, we encourage you to visit your local dog shelter or humane society first. The dogs available for adoption have been screened for medical problems, given some of their shots, been spayed or neutered, and tested for temperament. The Dane County Hume Society also implants an identification micro chip and gives you 30 days of pet insurance, both free when you adopt a dog from their shelter. Considering the individual cost of these procedures, and that they are already done for you, the cost to adopt a dog is much less, and shelter dogs generally make great pets. You will also be saving an unwanted dog from euthanasia.

We offer a discount on obedience training for owners of adopted dogs
from the D.C.H.S. Please mention you adopted a shelter dog when calling.
