Empty the Shelter
To go home for the holidays....isn't that what we all want. Please help us give our animals
a Home for the Holidays! We are offering lower adoption fees so we can
clear our shelter this holiday season.
So if you have room in your heart and home, please come visit us today.
The Dubuque Regional Humane Society is asking for your help to vaccinate the over 2,500 animals we shelter and care for each year.
The cost to vaccinate one animal is $15.50, so with a little help from the community, we can raise the funds to purchase a year supply of the essential vaccinations these animals need.

Let's take a Walk - Massaging petroleum jelly or other paw protectants into paw pads before going outside can help protect from salt and chemical agents. Booties provide even more coverage and can also prevent sand and salt from getting lodged between bare toes and causing irritation. Use pet-friendly ice melts whenever possible.
Thank you to two local bands that held a benefit concert to help out the animals at the DRHS! Heartbreak and Hot Mess performed Saturday, December 10 at the Airline Inn. Donations at the door were paper towels and bleach as well as monetary donations over $700!
