Is the Wisconsin Humane Society a statewide organization?
No. WHS operates six sheltering locations in Racine, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Green Bay, Door County, and Kenosha, as well as our Spay/Neuter Clinic in West Allis and Wildlife Rehabilitation Center in Milwaukee. Our name can be confusing for those who aren’t familiar with us, but we were founded as the Wisconsin Humane Society in 1879 when we were the only animal welfare organization in the state. In relatively recent history, five other shelters have reached out to us asking to merge, leading to our current locations. Aside from our six campuses, every other shelter in the state (and in most states) operates independently from one another, and there is no national affiliation or umbrella group.
