Pets surrendered by their owners make up the majority of the animals brought to the Wisconsin Humane Society. We also hold stray contracts with municipalities in Racine, Brown, Door, Kenosha, and Ozaukee Counties, and receive animals transferred from the Milwaukee Area Domestic Animal Control Commission (MADACC). In addition, we receive animals tra...
Adoption fees vary based on different factors. The animals with higher adoption fees tend to be adopted most quickly; those higher fees help support the animals who need more care and are with us longer. Some animals are "name your own adoption fee" which helps reduce barriers to adoption and find loving homes more quickly. This variable adoption p...
Adoptions are first-come, first-served (as long as the match is a good fit, of course), and we do not keep waiting lists. The variety of dogs whom we have available for adoption changes daily and often includes purebred, as well as mixed-breed dogs. We recommend bookmarking our "Available Dogs" page and checking it daily to see who is available for...
WHS is an independent organization, but we work with the Milwaukee Area Domestic Animal Control Commission (MADACC) on a nearly daily basis. We do not share staffing, financial resources or any administrative functions with MADACC, but enjoy working with them very closely to help Milwaukee’s animals.

All reports of suspected animal cruelty or neglect in Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Brown, Door, Kenosha, and Racine Counties must go through the local police or sheriff’s department. If ...

All animals in our adoption program have as long as it takes to find a new home; there are no time limits in our adoption program. This is true for all our campuses. We do not use the "no-kill" phrase because we have found that it confuses people. There is no univer...

The Wisconsin Humane Society does not euthanize animals to make space in our shelters, and animals in our adoption program have as long as it takes to find a new home. This is true for all our campuses. When an animal arrives at WHS, our priority is to determine if there are ways we can keep or reunite the animal with their family, identifying barr...
Some animals can find a shelter environment stressful, so we always recommend carefully considering all options before surrendering your pet. Be sure to tell your friends, family members, neighbors and coworkers that you need to find a new home for your pet. You’re likely to have positive results through this type of networking. You may also try Vi...
