MILWAUKEE – Are you looking for lifelong companionship? Is your family looking for some fun? The Wisconsin Humane Society can help. Whether you are ready for a redhead or want to bond with a brunette, we have a match for you. Whether you want to walk with a whippersnapper or sack out with a senior, you will find your lifetime companion and a great friend at the Wisconsin Humane Society's Adopt-a-thon November 11-13.

The Wisconsin Humane Society's Adopt-a-Thon will include fun-filled events for the entire family.

  • Enjoy extraordinary demonstrations including an Extreme Doggie Makeover, to be held Friday, Saturday and Sunday at noon.
  • Learn how easy it is to teach young and old dogs new tricks in a Bow Wow Basics demonstration on Saturday and Sunday at 1 p.m. and 2 p.m.
  • Take a tour of the shelter. 
  • Adopt an animal and receive a special prize for you and your new companion.
