Introducing the HSSC Fan Club: Because Love for Animals Starts Young

Every day, the Humane Society of Sheboygan County is lifted up by the kindness of our community—but one recent letter especially touched our hearts.

Lily, age 5, sent us a sweet note (translated by her grown-up) sharing how much she loves the Humane Society and the animals we care for. Her words reminded us that compassion and love for animals can start at any age.

Lily inspired us to launch something new: the HSSC Fan Club!

Here’s how you (or your kids!) can join:

Write a letter, draw a picture, or share a story about why you love animals or HSSC.
Send it to us—by email at marketing@scadopt.org or by mail to our shelter at 3209 N 21st St, Sheboygan, WI 53083.
Get featured! We’ll share our favorite fan letters on our website and social media, and eventually in the lobby of the shelter, too!

This is a fun, family-friendly way to stay connected to the shelter while showing support for pets in need. Whether you’re 5, 15, or 50, everyone is welcome in the Fan Club.

A big THANK YOU to Lily for being our very first member—you’ve already made a difference for animals in Sheboygan County.

Want to join the HSSC Fan Club? Start by writing your letter today!

Kittens/puppies under 4 months old: DO NOT withhold food or water prior to surgery.
Dogs must arrive with a collar and on leash (no retractable leashes). Cats and rabbits must be in a carrier.

Important Notices

*The Following animals and conditions are excluded from the SNAP program:

Any animal that is actively showing signs of illness
Any animal that is revealed to have a health condition during their pre-surgery exam (example: heart murmur)
Any animal over 7 years of age
Any animal that is deemed to be obese
Any animal weighing over 100lbs or under 2lbs
Any female that has given birth within the previous 6 weeks
Animals that are too fearful or aggressive to be handled safely.

We will spay female animals that are “in heat” at the time of surgery, but they are at a higher surgical risk for bleeding during surgery and post-operatively. It is strongly recommended that you reschedule the surgery for 4-6 weeks post-cycle.
SNAP is not a feral or barn cat program. If you have feral or barn cats to be spayed or neutered, please utilize a TNR / Return to Field application.
ALL FEES MUST BE PAID IN ADVANCE. HSSC accepts cash and credit/debit cards only – NO personal checks. If you do not show up for your appointment at the scheduled time, you will forfeit the fees you paid. In the case of a shelter emergency, severe weather, or staff illness, we reserve the right to reschedule your appointment.
You MUST drop off and pick up your pet at the times scheduled. Your appointment will be cancelled if you do not drop off your pet during the allotted time. Boarding fees will be charged if you do not pick up your pet on time.
City of Sheboygan residents: You are required, by law to have your dog or cat licensed with the city. If your pet is not currently licensed, HSSC can assist you with licensure for an additional cost.
Applicants must supply all vaccination records for their pet, including licensing information, if current prior to service.
Our on-staff veterinarian performs the SNAP surgeries. No other surgical or medical services other than what is listed will be provided under the SNAP program. For follow-up preventive care or for services other than spay/neuter, please contact your primary veterinarian.
Animals brought in for surgery that have fleas will be charged $12.00 for flea treatment, plus an additional $12.00 for every other SNAP animal also on the schedule that day.
All spays/neuters will have a small tattoo placed near their incision to mark that they have been sterilized.
You are welcome to call to check up on your pet, but visits are not allowed.
