our services
pet food pantry
At WAHS, we do everything we can to help animals stay in their homes. This includes providing free pet food to people who are having a difficult time feeding their animal companions. If you or someone you know is experiencing financial difficulties and could benefit from donated dog or cat food, please give us a call!
reuniting pets with their people
Despite owners’ best efforts, sometimes pets escape their homes and become lost. When a lost pet comes to WAHS, our hope is always for a happy reunion with their family! If your animal is at our shelter, click the button below for reclaiming details.
care for stray animals & lost pets
WAHS accepts stray dogs and cats throughout Winona and surrounding areas. We advertise these animals to hopefully find their owners! We also guide pet owners on what to do if their pet is missing. If you have a lost or found animal, click the button below.
providing shelter for adoptable animals
Hundreds of animals are housed in our facility each year while they wait to find forever homes. We are fortunate to have spacious living environments for both cats and dogs in our facility, as well as a dedicated foster network for animals outside of the shelter.
Spay & neuter assistance program for cats
The LaLiSa Fund was created to reimburse community members who get stray and feral cats spayed/neutered, thereby helping to reduce the stray cat population.
Surrendering & Rehoming Pets
WAHS accepts surrendered animals from families who can no longer keep them. If you find yourself in this situation with a cat or dog, learn more about our surrender process and other rehoming options by clicking the button below.
Microchipping
Getting your pet microchipped gives them the best chance of reuniting with you, should they ever go missing. Choosing to get your pet chipped at WAHS comes at a very reasonable cost - and you’re supporting homeless animals at the same time!
