Memorials & Honorary Gifts

Donate in Honor or Memory of a Loved One

Whether you’re looking to give a meaningful gift in a friend’s name or you’d like to honor the memory of a loved one who is no longer with us, a tribute donation to the Wisconsin Humane Society is an incredible gesture and makes a huge difference for shelter animals in need. You can even send a customized e-card to the recipient or their family to let them know you’re thinking of them.

To make an honorary or memorial donation, please visit our donation form and be sure to complete the Tribute Information section.

If you have any questions about memorial gifts, please contact our development team at donate@wihumane.org or call 414-431-6175.
