The Wisconsin Humane Society is responsible for housing most stray/lost animals in Ozaukee, Door, Kenosha, Kewaunee, Brown, and Racine Counties. Per Wisconsin State Statute 173.21, WHS holds animals for a minimum of 4 days, plus 1 for the day of intake – at least 5 days total. During their stay with us, stray animals receive nourishing meals, medical attention, and daily enrichment. After the hold has lapsed, ownership of the animal is transferred to the Wisconsin Humane Society, and the animal can begin their journey to adoption.
