Brown County Animal Shelter

We adopted our dog from this shelter, and we love him so much! The shelter was so nice and clean and had a great outdoor area that we were able to play with him in. Rural shelters are not always a nice as this one. Thanks for all you do for the animals of brown county :)

The current dog warden has demonstrated dishonesty and a vindictive attitude. She often acts beyond her authority, as though she were a sheriff, and when confronted or challenged, she issues citations—sometimes even for dogs that do not belong to the individual cited. The deputy wardens may be capable of performing their duties effectively, but only if the warden is replaced with a qualified and fair individual. My family intends to file a formal complaint against the warden for providing false information to the courts—a matter in which the court ultimately ruled in our favor. I strongly encourage anyone who has experienced similar treatment to also submit a formal complaint.

The staff here are amazing. We adopted our boy about 6 months ago. We drove about 2 hours to meet him. The shelter is very clean and everyone was so supportive during the adoption.

My 90 year old mother and I have made blankets for the shelter it seems really clean and such nice people

This place is awful! They don’t bathe the dogs and let their skin issues get worse! Poor little dog smelled like a dead animal! I tried to rescue the dog and everything went great the first day I saw her. Then when I returned after she was spayed to take her home I forgot her leash! The younger blonde girl up front went ballistic on me and was very rude and condescending! I tried to apologize and said I live in the country and don’t use a leash often. She didn’t want to hear anything I had to say after that and took the dog from me and said “She has lice!” We’re not going to approve the adoption! I was so heartbroken and sad! They are judgmental and rude people and I am devastated! Thanks for nothing brown county animal cruelty shelter!
