Learning tricks can be entertaining, but can also be functional, such as preparing for search and rescue or therapy work with your dog. The Clever Canine Tricks Class can reveal your dog’s natural abilities and is a great way to build confidence and creativity in your dog. Thanks to wonderful folks like our angel, Marla, the Wisconsin Humane Society hosts all sorts of terrific training classes for animals and their humans!

Everyday, a volunteer helps improve the life of an animal here at the Wisconsin Humane Society. Our volunteers help over 15,000 animals a year through such programs as Foster Care, Dog Walking or working in our Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. Our beautiful shelter allows us to provide the best creature comforts for our animals and the volunteers who interact with them. Click here to see how much the volunteers contribute to WHS.
Some people volunteer as Foster Parents for puppies, kittens, dogs or cats! The animals may be too young for adoption, may be recovering from an illness or minor injury or they may need behavioral training. Whatever the case, Foster Parents provide necessary care to animals in need by allowing them time to recuperate. |

On Friday, April 4, Oprah Winfrey dedicated an entire show to the “hidden world of puppy mills.” We hope her investigation will ignite national interest in this issue, and for Wisconsin residents, it may have been a sour reminder of our legislators’ failure to pass any measures to help these poor dogs during the latest Senate session. Sadly, Wisconsin has inadequate laws to regulate breeding facilities in Wisconsin, despite massive public interest.
Legislation is absolutely necessary to address the problem of puppy mills. |

I'm five years old and I'll make someone a wonderful companion. I might be biased, but the benefits of adopting a mature dog are clear as day to me. Often we have learned how to be good housemates with our humans. Our exercise needs are usually less than puppies and we are typically done with chewing everything in sight! My angel loves older dogs. She's so sweet! |
 |
|
Thanks to the Wisconsin Humane Society, I'm sure to find a fabulous new home. Every adoptable animal finds a home with the help of WHS staff; there are NO time or space limits. What a relief to an older fella like me!

Many thanks to my angel, Marni, and to all of the wonderful supporters of WHS!

Patricia, a baby Gray Squirrel, was hungry, and when her mom hadn’t come back for a long time, Patricia decided to go poke around the nest to look for her mom. Patricia went too far in her search though, and ended up falling out of the nest-tree, onto the ground! She is just one of the many animals being cared for in the WHS Wildlife Rehabilitation Center.

Dixie, Spiney, Lindy and Skitto
|
Whether they are young or old, big or small, all of our wonderful dogs rely on dog walkers to give them much needed exercise and socialization. Dixie, Spiney, Lindy and Skitto receive walks throughout the day and into the evening, thanks to many volunteers who help in this important area.
Dixie likes to go on walks and especially enjoys quietly greeting visitors while wagging her adorable short tail.
Spiney is learning all about good manners as he goes for his walks. He's also learning important cues like "sit" and "wait".
Lindy can't wait for her walks and eagerly stops at the dog play area for some catch. Her time with the volunteers help her get the high energy play she needs for her exuberant spirit.
Skitto enjoys really long walks all around the neighborhood and skillfully brings a smile to the faces of all the people he meets because of his enthusiasm and zest for life.
The Wisconsin Humane Society has many opportunities for walking the many special dogs that spend time here. Learn more! |

Dixie and I just love going for walks outside. With Spring arriving soon, all of nature's abundance will be in it's full glory! Birds will return and wild animals will begin making babies. The Wildlife Rehabilitation Center at WHS
cares for more than 5,000 injured, sick and orphaned wild animals of over 145 different species every year. The goal of the Center is to rescue, rehabilitate and return wild birds and animals to their natural habitats. Folks in the Wildlife Rehab Center also
give humane advice to people who have concerns about injured, sick, orphaned or wild animals in human living environments.
