From Current PAWS Forever Legacy Members
“We are excited about participating in the Northwoods Legacy program to support all the work they do locally to help cats & dogs in our area.  They not only help the animals but are a great resource to all pet owners and also branch out to help other shelters in need. We hope their work continues and being part of the Legacy program can help make that happen.”   Barb & Bob


“We are so very grateful for Northwoods Humane Society–a favorite charity of ours for over twenty years!   Care, concern, comfort and compassion is given to each needy animal that comes through Northwoods doors until they’re ready with renewed hope in finding a new home.”   Joyce and Jerry Winnick–and Hale

“I designated the Northwoods Humane Society as a beneficiary in my retirement account because of the excellent work Northwoods does on behalf of the animals.  I want to ensure future animals are cared for.”    Ann
