The River Bluff Humane Society is a private, non-profit organization established September 15, 1983. A hand full of dedicated volunteers saw the need for a Humane Society and took it upon themselves to help the stray, abandoned, sick and homeless animals in the area. In the Spring of 1990, we began building our current shelter at 1213 Brick Ave. in Red Wing. In February of 1991, we welcomed the first animals into the shelter, no longer relying solely on foster homes. It soon became apparent that a larger facility would be needed to meet all of our needs and began our building addition in the summer of 2002. We are currently able to house 100 animals, including litters of puppies and kittens. Our facility now has 16 indoor/outdoor kennels for adoption dogs with heated cement floors in the winter and air conditioning for those hot summer months. Since 2012 we have been making improvements based on the Guidelines for Standards of Care in Animal Shelters by the Association of Shelter Veterinarians to not only provide the minimum standards but to work towards the ideal. We are continuously striving to do better and to improve the lives of the animals in our care.
Think about your lifestyle and what you would like in a pet. Then visit the Humane Society and get to know our animals to see if one would be a good match for you. Most of our adoptable pets are also featured below and through petfinder.com. Once you have selected the right pet, complete the RBHS Application for Adoption. It takes 24 to 48 hours to process the application, so applications should be turned in before 4:30 pm. We will need to verify the information on your application and discuss the animal with you in order to approve the application. We reserve the right to deny any adoption for any reason. Please note that an approved application is not a guarantee that the particular animal will be available to you at a future date/time and that an application that is approved for one animal may not be transferable to another animal. Once your application has been approved and you have agreed to adopt the animal, we will give you copies of the animal’s information including vaccination and any other veterinary history. The adoption fee is due at this time. We accept cash, Visa, MasterCard, and Discover. Take your new pet home and enjoy the love!
