Will you help animals like Penny this holiday season? 🤝
Penny arrived in the arms of a kind-hearted person who found her alone, trembling, and blind. Her eyes were swollen, watering, and ruptured. The signs of infection were clear and had already led to blindness in both eyes. We started medication to fight the infection and hand-fed her to rebuild her strength. As soon as she was stable enough, she underwent surgery to remove her eyes before things could get even worse for Penny. ❤️‍🩹
The morning after her procedure, she perked up upon hearing her first visitors, warmly greeting her care team and rolling over for belly rubs. As her incisions healed, her joyful spirit began to shine. Contentment turned to bouncy tail-wags whenever we approached, and we were more than happy to return all the love she had to give. Once she was medically cleared for adoption, Penny wasted no time finding a loving home and has been thriving there ever since.
Please consider a gift of any size to support animals like Penny during this crucial time of year. As part of our Hope’s Lights campaign, you can even sponsor a holiday light at WHS in honor of someone special, or in memory of a lost pet or loved one: www.wihumane.org/hope
Thank you so much for shining a light on animals in need ♥

Our Pets for Life outreach team is out in the community nearly every day, getting to know people, meeting their pets, and learning how we can partner with families to support their animals. While we certainly love meeting new people, there is always something wonderful about reconnecting with clients... especially Tammy! We first met Tammy and her adorable pups, Nyla and Cody, in 2019. She has raised the adorable duo since they were just 2 months old and has partnered with our PFL team to ensure they are as healthy as they are loved. We are so grateful for the opportunity to work with families like Tammy's and we can't wait to see those glowing smiles again soon! 💛

Our Pets for Life team maintains a consistent community presence and partners with pet owners through door-to-door outreach. Families in the community we serve face many systemic and institutional barriers to accessing vital pet care resources, and our programs seek to remove those barriers to keep pets happy, healthy, and in their homes.

Aren’t seeing your match in the shelter? Explore our Virtual Rehoming page to discover incredible pets actively looking for caring individuals! By utilizing the online resource Home To Home™, potential adopters are able to view animals out in the community who are in need of new families. This allows the animals to search for an adopter from the comfort of their current home, plus it leaves more room at the shelter for animals who don't already have an advocate.
All listings contain information from the current owners whom you’ll work with directly to find out more about the animal’s personality, ideal living situation, and to coordinate adoption.
If you're looking for a new best friend, be sure to bookmark this link: www.wihumane.org/virtual-rehoming. Choose “Seeking a new pet,” then click on the photo gallery to view the full list of available animals ❤️

Penny was blind, alone, and helpless when a kind-hearted passerby wrapped her in a towel and brought her to the Wisconsin Humane Society.
Her eyes were swollen and ruptured, which led to complete blindness. Our veterinary team started Penny on pain meds and antibiotics, and as soon as she was stable enough for surgery, we removed her eyes before things could get even worse. Today, Penny is thriving in a loving home. ❤️

⭐Giving hope is an essential part of what our community does – and it wouldn’t be possible without you. Hope propels us forward, to create a better future for all of us, animals and people alike.

Please help us kick off the season of giving and gift hope to animals like Penny using the Donate button here or visiting https://wihumane.me/HopesLights2024. 💝

✨ We would like to introduce you to some special pups in search of loving homes! These pups are some of the dogs we received after Hurricanes Helene and Milton hit the Southern US. They were already in their local shelter when the storm hit and were sent north to find homes, making room in their original shelter for all the animals newly displaced by the hurricanes.
Now they are ready to meet you, put their southern charm to use, and join your family!
If you’d like the final leg of one pup’s journey to end in your home, be sure to come meet them today! 💖

No need to pluck petals, we can assure you that Daisy does love you! Our staff and volunteers love her too, and they've taken the time to share some of her amazing qualities:
🌼 "Daisy was the sunshine I needed on this rainy day. Very sweet, walked well and had just the right amount of that puppy energy!"
🌻 "Daisy is a ray of sunshine! I brought her a new toy and she just HAD to take it on her whole walk! Such a sweet lady!"
🌸 "Daisy was such a joy to walk! In her suite, she was well behaved and was easy to leash. She carried her toy the whole walk and it was absolutely adorable. She is such a lovely dog"
🪻 "Daisy is very sweet and loves to be petted"
She's been spayed, neutered, microchipped, and her adoption fee includes a bunch of perks! Now through 11/10, adoption fees for dogs 6 months and over are 50% off!
