The Humane Society of Marathon County (HSMC) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that has been established in the Wausau area since the 1960’s.  The vision of HSMC is a cruelty free community enriched by the special bond between people and animals.  Our mission is to inspire and engage the community to end animal suffering and commit to responsible pet ownership.  We achieve that mission by visiting schools to educate children on responsible pet ownership, hosting a low cost spay neuter program on a monthly basis, offering discounted microchipping services and more. HSMC is an unlimited intake facility which means we service the community as a place to house stray/abandoned animals in addition to taking owner surrenders.  We have an adoption program in place to find qualified and permanent homes for our animals based on an application process that involves background, veterinary and reference checks.  Animals leave our facility vaccinated, sterilized and microchipped.  We are privileged to be able to provide additional veterinary care as needed when an animal comes in with manageable medical needs.  During their stay with us, animal lives are enriched by our caring staff and dedicated volunteers.
