WHS Adoptable Animals

The Wisconsin Humane Society (WHS) is a private, nonprofit organization whose mission is to build a community where people value animals and treat them with respect and kindness. For more than 128 years, WHS has been saving the lives of animals in need. We offer adoption services that place 9,000 animals in new homes annually, veterinary services that save thousands of lives, educational programs that instill respect for animals, behavior services to assist guardians and a myriad of other initiatives that help end suffering for animals. We depend entirely on private donations to fund our programs and rely on volunteers in nearly every department. If you are interested in adopting, volunteering, enrolling in a class, taking a tour or making a donation, check out our comprehensive web site at wihumane.org. The adoptable animals' web pages are updated every 30 minutes!

The "Wild About Wisconsin" wildlife photo contest is open to anyone interested in submitting their digital photos of Wisconsin's indigenous wild animals. Crimson Cardinals at your bird feeder, a Cooper's Hawk soaring above the Menomonee River, a Black Bear lumbering through a Vilas County forest, unaware of your telephoto lens... Whether you're a novice with a point-and-shoot, or a birder with a Nikon SLR, WHS would love to see - and share - your photos!
