Humane Society of Wickenburg

  

From a humble beginning in 2004, of volunteers taking care of lost and abandoned animals in a few barn stalls in downtown Wickenburg, a dream was born to have a local shelter facility house the animals to provide exceptional care for them.  Construction began and the shelter opened in February of 2009.  The Humane Society of Wickenburg’s 6,707 square foot facility anticipated that the multi-room plus kennel facility would meet the needs of the community, and that the community would continue to donate generously to the facility’s day-to-day operation.  That dream became a reality of those volunteers 14 years ago, and is going strong!  The Humane Society of Wickenburg is proud to serve the animals of the community and surrounding rural areas both with shelter space and community services.

Following her school internship here at the shelter, Megan joined Team HSW in 2019.  Megan says "I grew up in Wickenburg, and started as an intern at HSW, one day a week.  I loved working with all the animals and the staff and started working as an Animal Care Associate.  I’ve learned so much about animals and have grown to love cats almost as much as dogs. Coming to work everyday makes me happy. I look forward to seeing adoptions and what the future holds at HSW!"

Amy was born and raised in Tucson, Arizona. Her fondest childhood memories involve family adventures, camping and fishing and, of course, animals. After obtaining her Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology and Criminal Justice from the University of Arizona, Amy followed in her father’s footsteps and has been in law enforcement since 1999. She moved her family (three dogs, two cats, a horse, a turtle and goldfish) to Wickenburg in 2014 to advance her career. Both her professional life and personal life are grounded in the basic principles of service and community. Amy wanted to be an active member of the community that she served so joining the Humane Society of Wickenburg in 2016 was a natural fit. She continues to enjoy the outdoors and spend time with family and friends.
