WHS Adoptable Animals

You may not be able to tell from her photos, but Amelia is nearly 100 lbs... of pure love!  She's what dog people call a "leaner," a dog who loves to brush up against you and lean into your body, wanting to be as close to you as possible.  Amelia loves to be cuddled, brushed, nuzzled and given belly rubs.  At 3.5 years old, this Labrador Retriever/American Pit Bull Terrier prefers praise over toys and slow walks over triathalons.  She likes to play with the occasional plush toy but isn't very fond of fetching or aerobic exercise. 

Despite her fondness for the low key lifestyle, Amelia is in great shape and has a gorgeous, shiny black coat with unique white patches on her chest and paws.  Amelia is also very bright and enjoys learning new tricks. She'll be a star in Manner's Class and already knows "sit" and "down."

Mario met his match and went home last weekend with a great family!

Mario loves people.  Of course, all dogs love their families, but Mario is the human population's #1 fan.  If you and Mario work out as companions, then you'll have yourself a lifelong, devoted friend. Have you ever been the best thing that's happened to someone?  That's how Mario will make you feel!  

When you first meet him, he breaks out his goofy grin and invites you to play or cuddle - whichever you'd prefer.  He loves attention and thrives on being in the company of others. He's a very social and playful pooch, but he's not overwhelmingly energetic. Mario adores getting belly rubs and returns the favor with kisses. 

This 2 year old Shepherd/Chow Chow mix has a beautiful golden coat and lovely brown eyes.  At 55 pounds, he's a great size and small enough to ride comfortably in the car with you.  And believe us, you'll want to take this friendly guy with you everywhere this summer as you form a bond.  (Don't forget his safety belt, though!)

Mario came to us as stray and upon his initial examination, it was found that Mario was heartworm positive. Fortunately, this sweet pup is now receiving life-saving treatment for the disease and looks forward to a brighter future.  His new guardian will have to restrict excessive exercise and high activity for a while as he recovers, so someone with a good library of books or movies might just be Mario's ideal human. A supply of peanut butter-stuffed Kongs won't hurt, either.  If you are seeking a lovable, huggable, snuggable pal, look no further than this happy dog.  Check him out at wihumane.org.

Meet Mae.  She's the kind of girl willing to throw all caution against the wind and propel herself through the air, across the room and into unknown territory simply to catch that sneaky catnip mouse.  Mae is also a very lovely feline with round emerald eyes and a dense tiger-striped coat.  She's a healthy weight and maintains her figure by practicing gymnastics. 

Like all adult cats at WHS, the fee for Mae is waived.  Still, we've spayed, microchipped and vaccinated her.  She also comes with a certificate for a free vet exam and one month of health insurance; Mae has been treated with a prescription medicine that protects against fleas, worms and other parasites, too.  Call (414) ANIMALS or visit our website at www.wihumane.org for more information.  

UPDATE: These four have been adopted, but keep checking the site.  We are closed on Mondays, but check back every day to see the new pups available for adoption.

There are lots of fuzzy puppies up for adoption right now at WHS!  Spring season is here and if you've been thinking about a new addition to your family, it's a great time of year to housetrain, establish good walking habits and enroll in a puppy class with your young pal.  Check out all the young pups (and older dogs, too) at WHS. The website is updated every 30 minutes!

Don't forget to look at the calendar, too, for all the cool, affordable classes you can take.  Aside from the myriad of dog/cat classes, there are some excellent birding seminars in April.
