Puppies Make a Big Squeal for State Fair

MILWAUKEE – Don’t miss the fun at the Wisconsin Humane Society this morning as puppies celebrate the launch of the Wisconsin State Fair. Wisconsinites love their fairs, and the canines are no exception!
At 10:00 a.m. on Friday, August 6, adoptable puppies will be dressed as piglets as they romp through straw and sample cream puffs! Alice in Dairyland will be making a guest appearance, as well.
Also announced today, every Wednesday during the month of August, all adoption fees will be reduced by 25%. WHS will also be offering a free tote with the adoption of each adult cat.

During August, September, and October, the Wisconsin and Ozaukee Humane Societies are competing together against 49 other animal shelters across the country in the Save More Lives – ASPCA $100K Challenge. The goal is to save more lives this fall.

WHS and OHS have set an overall goal of 3,040 lives saved for the three-month challenge. $100,000 will go to the shelter that achieves the greatest increase in lives saved. $25,000 will go to the shelter that engages the largest number of members of the community who help in saving more lives.
