Wisconsin Humane Society lowers dog adoption fees amid overcrowding

The Wisconsin Humane Society said it has lowered the price to adopt a dog because the capacity at all of its shelters is at “crisis level.”Adoption fees for dogs over 6 months old are now $75, and adoption fees for “benchwarmer” dogs are $25. These deals run through Wednesday, June 11.“Dog kennel capacity is at crisis level, and we are in desperate need of canine adopters and foster parents,” said Angela Speed, the vice president of marketing and communications. “Right now, we are caring for nearly 400 dogs across our organization, with more than 100 of them ready to go home today!”To view dogs available for adoption, click here.There are Wisconsin Humane Society sheltering locations in Sturgeon Bay, Green Bay, Saukville, Milwaukee, Racine and Kenosha.
