Dog Adopters Urgently Needed

June 4, 2025 by Laurel Ciohon

Wisconsin – The Wisconsin Humane Society (WHS) has reduced dog adoption fees in response to rising dog population at all its sheltering locations. Adoption fees for dogs over 6 months old are now $75, and adoption fees for “benchwarmer” dogs are $25. The promotion runs 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, 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, head to www.wihumane.org/adopt. WHS has sheltering locations in Sturgeon Bay, Green Bay, Saukville, Milwaukee, Racine, and Kenosha, and some dogs are available for adoption from foster homes.

Can’t adopt but still want to help? You can help open shelter space AND make a direct difference in the life of an animal by bringing one home to foster! WHS provides necessary medications, supplies, food, instructions, and support; you provide the love until they are ready for a home of their own. If you’re not already an approved foster parent, getting started is easy – apply today at https://www.wihumane.org/foster/apply,
