The Wisconsin Humane Society (WHS) is happy to announce their spring match campaign has been extended through April 15, 2026.
That means right now, every dollar you give to WHS is being matched up to $100,000! The money raised goes directly to helping area animals and their families, just like the spring match featured animal, Oryx.
Oryx arrived at WHS after his owner passed away. He was underweight and missing fur with itchy, scaly skin. Despite the challenges he faced, he was a delight from the moment he arrived. The veterinary team at WHS quickly went to work and created a care plan to help Oryx safely gain weight. They also provided medicated baths, antibiotics, and antibacterials to help regrow his beautiful coat.
As the weeks passed, Oryx regained an impressive 17 pounds, his fur began to grow back, and he was ready to find his next loving home. This lovable goofball quickly met a family who fell in love with him just like everyone at WHS did.
The best part is Oryx is just one of the many success stories from WHS. Over the course of a year, WHS serves more than 65,000 animals and families. Thousands of animals come through their doors who require varying degrees of treatment, from simple vaccinations to life-saving surgery and extended periods of therapy. As you can imagine, the expenses really add up, so this spring, consider making a donation to help continue the important work WHS does every single day.
If you would like to join in on their mission, you can head to wihumane.org/springmatch to pledge your support. Again, this special $100,000 matching opportunity won’t last long. So donate today to make sure your impact is doubled.
