WHS Adoptable Animals

Avian Odyssey is a great fundraising opportunity for those interested in supporting the Wisconsin Humane Society’s Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. Avian Odyssey has just announced the top fundraising prize, too - a stay at an eco-resort in Costa Rica!

When you meet Murphy, you'll fall into a laughing fit.  This dog is such a happy, exuberant fellow that his enthusiasm for life is contagious.  He has a stocky golden body, dense coat and always-wagging tail.  At 8-months-old, this Labrador Retriever/Chow Chow mix is at a great age. Murphy loves to meet new people and eagerly eats up all the attention he can get.  He's fond of stretching out on the floor to invite a belly rub, too! 

This bouncy dog, both physically and personality-wise, will be a joy to train, too. He's curious, confident and happy.  It may be gray and cold outside, but Murphy will bring the sunshine into your heart. 

Tinsel is a blast.  He's one of the funniest souls you've ever met and he thinks life is just awesome.  You'll feel such joy introducing this 8-month-old black Labrador Retriever mix to new situations and people. He will renew your appreciation for the little things - perfect blades of grass on which to munch, sparrows perched on telephone wires, the sound of the school bus turning the corner - Tinsel notices everything and is fascinated by anything.

Tinsel is looking for a guardian with a good arm and a big supply of tennis balls. Although if you don’t have any tennis balls, he would probably settle for plush toys, or Frisbees, or squeakers, or well, you get the idea. Tinsel loves toys! The only thing that Tinsel likes better than playing with his toys, is playing with his toys with you. 

He would also appreciate a tunmy rub every now and then. And some treats. Oh, and a sense of humor is a must, for this little guy will definitely try to entertain you with his silly antics.

Every dog at the Wisconsin Humane Society is spayed/neutered, microchipped and vaccinated. Dogs and cats also go home with a free vet exam and 30 days of pet health insurance.  Fill out an adoption application online and see all our available animals!

UPDATE! This sweet dog went home to a great family thrilled with their new companion!

Mattie is an amazing dog. Not only is she absolutely adorable with her huge brown eyes and funny markings on her rump, she is wise beyond her 1.2 years.  This lovely dog recently attended a special seminar with 100 human guests and she was the best behaved of everyone!  She greeted each person with kisses, never barked during presentations and somehow had the self-control to avoid the cheese and avocado subs (although there is photographic evidence that her human cohorts tossed some provolone her way)!

Mattie sees the tasty cheese subs, but remembers her etiquette.

Mattie is a 1 year old American Pitbull Terrier mix. She is gentle, affectionate and eager to please. Mattie already knows how to sit, shake and stay. In addition, she has been previously housetrained.  Mattie would do great with a loving guardian who can spend time playing outside, hanging out on the couch or simply going for a car ride, which Mattie loves.

UPDATE: JUNIOR WAS ADOPTED IN TIME TO CELEBRATE ST PADDY'S IN A NEW HOME!  HOORAY! (and time to buy stock in a tennis ball manufacturer)
Meet Junior. He may go home with that tennis ball because he seems to carry it everywhere he goes!  This handsome 6-year-old lab has silly puppy energy and always greets you with a smile.  And the tennis ball. 

Junior is a strong, smart boy who will need daily exercise and an active guardian who is itching to get outside this spring. He loves to go for long walks, play fetch and greet passers-by. If you've been daydreaming about rollerblading through Lake Park, swimming at Harrington Beach or biking through the Menomonee River parkway, start picturing a big yellow lab in that vision.  He's waiting for you at the Wisconsin Humane Society.  

 p.s. After a good bout of play, Junior adores having his tummy scratched!

UPDATE: Little General met a nice family from Franklin, who adopted him this weekend. Congrats!  

This Little General certainly won't order you around!  This adorable Boston Terrier has the sweetest expressions in the whole word, plus a personality to match!  At 8-years-old, he is a true gentleman who is seeking a quiet household to call his own. Our volunteers report that this little guy is obviously looking for affection; with a little reassurance and positive reinforcement, he opens up to everyone. Little General enjoys treats and is very eager to earn them. He will make a great companion for some very lucky family. Check him out at www.wihumane.org today!
