    We found the volunteers to be so kind and caring to the animals. They were very supportive and helpful to us in the adoption process. We are enjoyng our precious and playful kittens, Princess and Banjo.

    I have fostered/adopted many animals and I donate as often as possible to Northwoods, be it money or usable items for the shelter. This past spring my mother passed away and we chose Northwoods for her memorials. I can't say enough about the workers and volunteers who help make Northwoods work. All I can say is thank you for caring and keep up the great work.

    Thank you for my lovely Cassie, Lily and Herbie. They are sweet, wonderful cats. I'm so happy you were there to care for them until I could find them. Cassie and Lily spent 4 months with you and even though they are older no one there gave up on them. So thank you again for taking care of my dear, sweet cats.

    Thank you to Northwoods for letting us be a foster family to many pets. If it wasn't for the foster program we wouldn't have found our two lovable kittens that grew into wonderful cats. They have each stolen away a little piece of our hearts. Thank you for finding forever homes for all our special four legged friends.

    Well run and workers are exceptional. Makes me want to own a pet. Instead I live vicariously through my three girls and their family pets.

    We love Northwoods Humane Society! One of the cleanest and best cared for Humane Societies around. Without their dedicated and patient staff I wouldn't have found my lovable, furry, four legged friend. Thank you NWHS for all that you do. With great admiration, Rebecca & Dreyden (Dre)

    Without NHS I wouldn't have my Sadie, or the opportunities to meet all the other lovable critters I do each month! Go NHS!

    Thank you for taking care of us before we charmed our new Momma into taking us home with her. We are almost too active for her, but she's adjusting nicely. Thanks again. Cocoa, Onyx and Casper

    In honor of ones still with us, and in memory of the ones we've lost...I'm so glad Northwoods was there for Bun Bun, Little Girl, Bonnie Belle, Cat Bear, & Sky. Let's keep it going for the many more in need that are sure to come.

    No words can express the joy that Catastrophy (Phoebe) brings to my life. She's a beautiful cat with a wonderful personality and great sense of humor.

    Our cat, Gypsy, came to the Northwoods Humane Society in June 2006 as a stray. We adopted her in November 2006 and couldn't imagine life without her. Thank you so much for taking care of her until she found us! We are so grateful for the work you do.
