About

CCHS was founded in 1972 to help animals in our community through providing foster homes for lost and abused animals. In 1992 the Keweenaw Animal Alliance (KAA) was opened as the first animal shelter in the area. In 1994 the CCHS and the KAA combined resources thus forming one organization to better serve the community and the animals. The organization and shelter is now known as the Copper Country Humane Society. In the beginning less than 100 animals were cared for at the shelter annually, but CCHS has quickly grown and now cares for approximately 900 cats and dogs annually. In 2005, CCHS opened the doors to a new state of the art animal shelter after 3 years of fundraising and planning the construction was completed. The new facility with bright colored walls, spacious kennels, play areas and lots of care allows CCHS to help more animals. It also encourages more people to adopt homeless animals and to volunteer at CCHS. Both the community and the animals are winners with this new animal shelter.
