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 and is still 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.

I’ve been such an animal lover since I was a young girl. I’ve grown up around lots of animals and always have had a passion to help animals, since they can’t speak. My family and I own a little family ranch and we have horses, donkeys, dogs, cats and chickens. I was formerly working retail and decided to switch and do something I enjoy. W
I’ve been such an animal lover since I was a young girl. I’ve grown up around lots of animals and always have had a passion to help animals, since they can’t speak. My family and I own a little family ranch and we have horses, donkeys, dogs, cats and chickens. I was formerly working retail and decided to switch and do something I enjoy. When I went into HSW for a interview I got a chance to go around and meet the animals. I knew immediately that was my calling, I wanted to help all the animals and see them all go to their new homes. I’m also pursuing a career to become a Vet Technician. Since I’m so interested in that field I see myself continuing education and one day becoming a Veterinarian.
