The Humane Society of Swift County located in Benson, Minnesota, was founded in September 2001. Our organization is a totally volunteer society run by an elected board. Decisions are made by the board, not one person. We are funded by membership dues, fund raisers, a few small grants, donations and fees associated with adoptions. We DO NOT have a shelter for boarding animals in our care. Thus, foster homes are essential for the care and well-being of these animals.
