Your forever friends could be waiting for you at the Wisconsin Humane Society. Last week, the organization announced that its dog kennel capacity is at a crisis level, caring for nearly 400 dogs nationwide. It follows a nationwide trend of dropping dog adoption rates in recent years, with two million dogs being adopted in 2024, slightly below the number of cats adopted. WHS’ Corey Viars says a change in its surrendering policy led to influx of dogs coming to the shelter. In response, the Wisconsin Humane Society has dropped its adoption fees for a limited time to help alleviate the crunch at the shelter. Viars says there are many ways you can assist in their efforts, even if adoption is not in your plans.
The reduced adoption fee rates are effective through the end of the day on Wednesday. The Wisconsin Humane Society has dogs and other animals available at this link.
