2025 Year End Campaign
As we approach the end of 2025, we at the Humane Society of Barron County are filled with gratitude for the incredible impact we’ve achieved together. With your support, we've found loving homes for over six animals each week, bringing happiness to hundreds of families and giving each animal a second chance filled with hope and love.
​
Today, we’re launching our Year-End Campaign with a goal of raising $20,000 by December 31. This essential funding will ensure we can continue providing quality care and compassion to every animal that comes through our doors. We invite you to join us in making an even greater impact—because every gift makes a difference.
Charlie Waffles (FKA Spot)
For 71 days, Charlie waited patiently, hoping someone would see what we saw: a dog ready to start a new life.Then, one lucky day, his forever family walked through our doors—and Charlie’s new life truly began. Now semi-regionally famous as “Charlie Waffles, the Medicare Mutt,” he even has his own swag and social media fans who follow his adventures. These days, Charlie rides to work with his new humans, greets everyone he meets with that same trademark grin, and enjoys all the belly rubs he could ever want. His story reminds us that every single day of care—and every act of kindness—can change a life.
Claude & Chloe
Then there’s Claude and Chloe, a pair of 9-year-old cats who had spent their entire lives together before being surrendered to HSBC when their owner had to move somewhere pets weren’t allowed. Claude was the outgoing one, while Chloe preferred to hang back and observe. Finding a home for bonded pairs can be challenging, but we were determined to keep them together. After 68 days in our care, they finally found their perfect match — a loving home where they could stay side by side, just as they always have.

These are just three of the hundreds of stories you make possible each year. But with rising costs and more animals depending on us, we need your help to keep saying “yes” to as many animals in need of a second chance as possible.
​Each donation—no matter the size—makes a profound difference. By giving, you directly support animals in need and bring more love into our community. Your contribution goes beyond immediate costs, creating happy endings and brighter futures for countless animals waiting for a second chance.
