Adopting a friend
All potential adopters are required to fill out a pre-adoption questionnaire. ACHS has the right to reject any application. The cost
to adopt a dog is $120.00. The cost to adopt a cat is $50.00 if the cat is spayed/neutered or $25.00 with a $50 deposit if still intact.
The deposit is refundable upon proof of spay/neuter. If the cat or dog is still intact, the adopter agrees to have the animal
spayed/neutered within 30 days, if a kitten or puppy are to young then you will have 90 days.
An adoption application can be filled out on line or in person. For further information, please call the shelter during business
hours. When coming to pick up your new adopted pet please bring your own collar and leash for dogs. Please bring your own
cat carrier for cats. All dogs and cats you currently own must be up to date on Rabies and Distemper vaccination to be
approved to adopt.

The Kuranda Dog Bed Company has created a specially designed bed just for Cats!  The “Cat Bed” increases the amount of
room a cat has to move around inside a cage by giving them another level with the opportunity to jump up and view the world
from a raised perch.  The long legs of the bed accommodate a litter pan underneath the bed, or a cozy nook for a shy cat to
relax.  The bed is free standing so it can be used in the community cat room as well.  Please think about donating a bed or two
for the cats to have a little more comfort while they are with us.

An out of court settlement has been reached in the case of Adams County Humane Society and County of Adams v. Jesse
Kolb and Tina Kolb, Case No. 09-CV-454 (Adams County Circuit Court, State of Wisconsin).  The case, initiated on petition
by Adams County Humane Society (“ACHS”) and Adams County, resulted after the November 11-12, 2009 criminal seizure
of 197 animals from the Wisconsin Dells residence of Jesse and Tina Kolb.  Currently, there are pending criminal charges
against the Kolbs for violations of Chapter 951 of the Wisconsin Statutes, which prohibit mistreatment of animals.  
Pursuant to an agreement with Adams County, ACHS was charged with the duties of caring for and treating these seized
animals until resolution of the criminal matters.  

In the civil petition, ACHS and Adams County asked the circuit court to transfer custody of the seized animals so that they
could be placed permanently in homes and rescue facilities that would best suit the needs of each individual animal.  In
addition, ACHS and Adams County sought reimbursement from the Kolbs for the costs of the care and treatment of these
animals.  Through this settlement, ACHS has immediately taken full custody of 193 of the 197 animals seized.  These
include dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, horses and a ferret seized in November 2009.  Many of these animals will now be
available for adoption and will be placed with the best suitable homes.  Please contact ACHS or visit our website for more
details on our adoption procedures and available animals. www.adamscountyhumanesociety.org.  The four animals not
immediately released to ACHS custody will remain in the care of ACHS until their disposition is determined by resolution of
the criminal matters.

This settlement was agreed to because it was in the best interests of ACHS, Adams County and most importantly, the
animals.  ACHS is delighted that each one of these animals will now be placed permanently wherever is best suited for
them individually and we look forward to the process of placing them in loving and caring homes as soon as possible.

On November 11 & 12 the Adams County Humane Society was  overwhelmed with a large seizure of 33 dogs, 11 cats, a
ferret, 133 rabbits, 7 guinea pigs and 2 horses. The animals are being held as evidence so they are not available for
adoption at this time. In the meantime we will continue to care for these animals. We need monetary donations to help
assist with the animals medical care and other costs.  We will keep a list of most needed items below so check back often.
