End of Life Services
We're here to help you with all the stages of your pet's life.
Euthanasia Services
The Wisconsin Humane Society provides compassionate, low-cost euthanasia services at our Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, and Green Bay Campuses.
Before scheduling an appointment, please note:
- This service does not include veterinary consultation
- You will be unable to accompany your pet beyond the Arrivals lobby, as owners and visitors are not able to be present during the procedure.
- We cannot return your animal's body to you after euthanasia, as home burial is not legal in many municipalities and can pose a safety risk to other animals and the environment.
Service hours vary by location.
- For services at the Milwaukee Campus, click here to book your appointment.
- For all other locations, please call ahead to schedule an appointment. Appointments are highly encouraged as we may not have staff available to perform euthanasia during all hours of operation.
