Fetch Wisconsin Rescue

Fetch Wisconsin saves the lives of at-risk dogs 🐾 Why adopt from Fetch? First and foremost, Fetch takes its time getting to know the dogs in our care.

We strive to understand the best possible environment for them to succeed in. Behavior and medical issues are addressed and worked on while in foster care. Foster homes have a limit of two dogs to ensure environments are low-stress and individualized attention is given to each dog. Second, we provide thorough vetting to ensure that we are adopting out healthy dogs. Sometimes other rescues will do

basic vaccinations and stop there. We'll do dental work, surgeries, blood work, and more so that we send home a pup just needing basic maintenance over time. Third, we're completely transparent about the type of dog you are going to get. These pups are not perfect, but we'll let you know what their issues are and how to work on those. Fourth, we have a strong support network post-adoption. For some of our more challenging dogs, we've sent behaviorists to an adopter's door at our own cost. For less severe cases, our resident trainer will give adopters a call and help them work out a training plan to get things back on track. Lastly, we try to solve the local problem before expanding our efforts to out of state dogs. If there are breeds we can rescue locally, we start there. If there aren't, we'll expand to our neighboring states to help with their shelter overcrowding. Adopting through Fetch actually makes a difference in the local community and Wisconsin.

While Taz may look like she is always slightly judging you… she is actually a super loving and kind girl!

Taz is a 1 year old, 38 # mixed breed wiggle butt. She is the perfect medium energy who equally loves walks and snuggling. Taz is a smart girl who enjoys training and is crate-trained. She arrived pretty sick (hookworms) but is doing better and able to begin proper potty training now- she is making quick progress (pees on command and few accidents). Taz likes other dogs, cats, and adults. Kids are a little scary right now.

Taz brings sunshine everywhere she goes with her playful and friendly nature. She can’t wait to wiggle butt her way into your heart!
Taz will be at .beer this Sunday 11/17 from 2-3 pm! November Delta Beer x Fetch Meet & Greet

🚨 Snuggle bug alert!! 🚨 If Dillon could pick only one activity to do everyday, it would be to SNUGGLE!

Dillon is a 5 year old, 48 pound hound mix who is gentle, sweet, and occasionally hilarious (see pic 3)!

Dillon is able to free roam, walks well on leash, and is potty trained (when kept on routine). He is good with dogs and kids but would prefer a calm household.
Dillon is still gaining confidence in himself and strangers, but he is extremely loyal to those he trusts.

Dillon will be at the Kopke’s Holiday Market x Fetch Meet & Greet this Saturday 11/16 from 9 am-1 pm.

There's a lot to celebrate tonight here at Fetch 💚 Our amazing fosters came together to support our partners at Vernon Parish Animal Shelter in Louisiana to save several at-risk pups. Because our fosters said ✨yes✨, these dogs will now have a new beginning in Wisconsin!

Welcome to the family, pups - we can't wait to welcome you home in a few weeks!

With the holiday season upon us, our Fetch fosters could use an extra set of hands—and a few extra cuddles! Becoming a short-term sitter is a wonderful way to support our fosters by giving them a safe place to stay while their foster families travel for the holidays.

Offering to dogsit a foster pup makes a HUGE difference! Not only does it save Fetch money by keeping fosters out of boarding facilities, but it also provides a more relaxed environment that foster dogs thrive in. All you have to do is provide a warm, welcoming space and a lot of love! 💚 Fetch will cover the rest.

Ready to help out? Check out the cuties that are currently looking for sitters for Thanksgiving and apply today to become a volunteer! Your support means the world to us and our pups this holiday season ✨

🇺🇸 London is here to say Happy Veterans Day! She hopes all of our active duty will make it home safely soon. 🇺🇸

Speaking of homes, London is hoping for one of her own! She is a 6 month old, 29 # mixed breed. With her gentle and snuggly manner, London is sure to make her adopters feel loved everyday.

She is good with people (kids included) and loves playing with other dogs. She would make a great little sister! London does well in her crate, on leash, and is making quick progress with potty training.
