My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hero here, my friends at the shelter named me such because on my first day here I was able to convince two of my now friends that they could come out of their hiding spots and be rescued too. You see there was a kitten stuck in a drainage pipe down a man hole that was just to afraid to come out after a big rain storm. The shelter brought me with so I could tell her it was okay, there were all sorts of people trying to help her but she needed someone that spoke her language, so i did and sure enough out she came! Less than a half hour after that the shelter got a call about a kitten under a truck on main street that was too anxious to come out of her hiding spot (Baby Dill) but I knew if I told her it was okay that she would be saved too. Now we are all friends at the shelter and looking for our forever homes, We are warm, clean and full and waiting for you to come save us! The staff give me tons of love and snuggles and are looking for a family to give them to me forever!All cats and dogs adopted from the Chequamegon Humane Association are spayed or neutered, up-to-date on age appropriate vaccinations, dewormed, and microchipped.

ABOUT US
CHA serves as a temporary safe haven for homeless animals from Ashland and Bayfield Counties.
OUR MISSION
To promote and support the humane treatment of animals in the Chequamegon Bay area.
ORGANIZATION OVERVIEW
Picture
Initially volunteers ran CHA (or CAL - Chequamegon Animal League- as it was then known) out of their homes until a parcel of land was obtained from the City of Ashland on Old Airport Road. The current building was constructed in two phases: The indoor/outdoor dog runs came first and the cat room and office were added at a later date. Up until the mid-1990’s, there was no preventative care given to the cats and dogs adopted out; no vaccines were given and the animals were not spayed or neutered. The average annual budget was around $10,000/year, most of which came from Ashland and Bayfield counties for animal control.

In 1994 CHA received a generous bequeath, which allowed the organization to implement a minimum standard of care so that only spayed and neutered animals up-to-date on vaccinations were released for adoption. This was the first step toward changing the continuous flow of unwanted cats and dogs in our area.

Since then CHA has been dedicated to improving the quality of life for homeless pets by providing medical care and socialization to every cat and dog that comes through our doors. We have also reached out to the community with low-cost spay/neuter options for low-income households. The staff and board of directors sincerely hope you will join us in continuously making our community a better place for all pets and their people. If you have some time, why not take the volunteer training session (first Sunday of each month at noon) so you can spend some quality time with the cats or take a dog for a walk on the newly improved shelter property trails.
