Coulee Region Humane Society

Employees are always friendly. The place is clean. What is better than adopting an animal that NEEDS a home? Much better than buying one.
You can also take training classes here including canine good citizenship.

I had visited a lot of animal shelters before adopting my cats from the Coulée Region Humane Society. They are one of the cleanest and well staffed animal shelters that I’ve been to, and I feel like I’ve seen the whole spectrum.
What’s particularly great is that I was an out of state adoption and they were really open with working with my adoption. I’m originally from La Crosse, but live in the Chicago area and just stopped by to see if there might be a cat that my sister would be interested in. She’s the type that would just want to adopt all of the cats so she needs someone to scout ahead for her. Anyway, I fell in love with two tiger striped cats that were about 1 year old and I was worried that I couldn’t take them home with me the next morning when I was scheduled to go home. Luckily they put a rush on my application and I found myself making the five hour trek home with two more passengers. This was about two years ago, and I can’t imagine my life without them!
Just as a note: My application was probably super easy since my roommate was with me (everyone in the household has to approve the adoption for it to go through) and I lived in a pet friendly apartment complex with a staff that’s super easy to reach (need to get approval from landlord), and I didn’t have any other pets (compatibility issues, I guess?).
