Compassion in Action: Giving Animals a Second Chance

The Eau Claire Community Humane Association (ECCHA) is dedicated to promoting the well-being and protection of all domestic pets and small agricultural animals. We give animals a voice by educating the public about the need for the humane treatment of all animals and responsible pet ownership. Our goal is to create a better community for both pets and people.

The mission of Eau Claire Community Humane Association (ECCHA) is to be a voice for all animals by providing education, resources, support for the community and compassionate care for homeless animals until they can be placed in forever homes. We emphasize coordinating with other organizations to promote animal welfare.

ECCHA is the only “open admission” shelter within a 100-mile radius of Eau Claire County. This means we take any animal considered domesticated regardless of age, breed, temperament, medical status or behavior. We serve them all – from dogs, cats, small animals, reptiles and chickens to goats, horses…and more.
