  LAURA MERRICK NAMED PRESIDENT & CEO

Honored to serve as the President and CEO, Laura joined the team at DRHS in February 2018. Laura's progressive career in nonprofit leadership over the last decade, supported by a BS in Business from Colorado State, a BFA from Clarke University and the pursuit of an MPA from the University of Colorado Denver, demonstrates a dedication to achieving mission excellence, faithful advocacy for vulnerable populations (human and animal alike), and an ardent belief in creating greater good through collective service. 

Laura feels blessed to be part of an organization and community that prioritizes pathways to effectuate positive changes in animal welfare and education. As a believer that every pet should have a home Laura shares her home with a rather opinionated and highly camera shy dog named Beauregard.


Dubuque helps animals across the nation.

With the help of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and Humane Societies (ASPCA), in 2017, the Dubuque Regional Humane Society successfully took in and found homes for just under 800 animals from various overcrowded shelters across the nation.

The DRHS will continue those efforts throughout 2018.  As long as we have ample space and supplies to support our community animals, we will receive thirty to forty animals per month via the ASPCA.

The DRHS also has direct partnerships with rescue groups and other shelters who ask that we accept fated animals from their communities.  We welcome these pets to our facility to find their future right here in Dubuque.

Don't lick that!

Like coolant, antifreeze is a lethal poison for dogs and cats. Be sure to thoroughly clean up any spills from your vehicle, and consider using products that contain propylene glycol rather than ethylene glycol.

Featured Pets  

Pictured is one of our loving pups available for adoption, Joyce. She is almost 2 year old  pitbull mix who is full of energy! Joyce loves to play and enjoys being outside. She does need some extra training when it comes to playing. 

We still have a lot of animals who are looking for their new families.  Do you need a furry friend to keep you company this winter? Come fall in love with one of our pets who are in need of a family to welcome them into their hearts.
