About Us
Our Mission:
Rivers and Bluffs Animal Shelter will be a passionate advocate that will provide quality care for companion animals in need as we seek their forever homes and educate the community about responsible pet ownership.
In 2007, a small group of people met in a Prairie du Chien, WI, park to discuss the need for an animal shelter in the area. In 2008. The number of volunteers increased and so did the fundraising.
We opened our doors in December 2017, We are very grateful to our friends who contributed money, time, and expertise. Rivers and Bluffs Animal Shelter serve the counties of Grant, Crawford, and Clayton counties of southwest Wisconsin and North East Iowa.
