Dane County Humane Society Thrift Store operates two vibrant locations in Madison, WI, serving as a crucial funding source for the Dane County Humane Society (DCHS). These thrift stores directly support DCHS's vital mission to help people and animals by providing refuge, healing, and new beginnings for thousands of companion animals, exotic species, barnyard animals, and injured wildlife annually. Shoppers can explore an extensive and ever-changing inventory, with over 20,000 unique items available at any given time, discovering great treasures at bargain prices.
What began as an experimental venture in 2019 quickly blossomed into a community success story. After the initial West Side store proved highly successful, it expanded to a larger location on Watts Road in 2020. Responding to strong community demand, a second, even larger East Side store opened on High Crossing Blvd in 2024, doubling the shopping experience. This growth underscores the community's commitment to supporting animal welfare through sustainable retail.
By shopping, donating, or volunteering at the Dane County Humane Society Thrift Store, patrons contribute directly to the well-being of animals in need across Dane County. Each purchase helps fund critical programs, from adoptions and wildlife rehabilitation to community outreach and pet surrender resources, making a tangible difference in the lives of countless creatures.
