The Green Lake Area Animal Shelter was founded in 1993. We are an open admission full service shelter, assisting any pet or pet owner in need. We see about 800 to 1,000 animals a year, and routinely partner with other organizations and law enforcement to assist in emergency situations. Our yearly operating budget is roughly $250,000. Every penny is spent toward our mission of caring for homeless cats and dogs. All of our income is in the form of donations, whether it's adoption fees, fundraisers, memorials or donation of supplies. We employ a small paid staff and have a few dedicated volunteers. A Board of Directors oversees policy and procedure, and the shelter manager supervises all day to day operations.
