Allergy Information

DCHS utilizes peanut butter for animal enrichment throughout the shelter, and therefore is unable to provide a peanut-free facility. We are unable to make accommodations for children with severe peanut allergies. DCHS also utilizes various types of hay throughout the shelter, especially in areas where critters are housed. Hay may also come in contact with our education animals.

Cancellation Policy

Refunds may be granted up to 24 hours after payment has been submitted, if requested in writing to the Camp Coordinator at wildlifeeducation@giveshelter.org. After 24 hours from payment submission, fees are non-refundable but the event reservation may be transferred to another date in some situations. Dane County Humane Society reserves the right to cancel events due to various circumstances.
