1 Stars: Wisconsin Humane is a killing field (by jeff k.)

jeff k. — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 19:55:00 GMT

You are absolutely correct about WHS. They are horrible. I worked at Ozaukee Humane Society which is run by WHS. We did all our training at WHS, took our animals there for spay/neueter, and picked up new animals from them. There is no compassion involved when it comes to the their "behavior department." Its disgusting the amount of animals they kill in a day. I want to expose them so badly to the media but don't know how to really. Especialy since Fox 6 and WHS are like best buddies. Any ideas?

1 Stars: Wisconsin Humane Society is a money making machine (by Sam S.)

Sam S. — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 19:49:00 GMT

This place is a rip off. I took my dog to this dump after we lost our home. We cried all the way home after we gave Wisconsin Humane Society our last $35.00 to take our dog in and find him a good home from their supposed "low-kill" shelter. When I walked in the door, I had a message on my phone that, if I didn't get back to their shelter with $75.00 to get my dog out, the Wisconsin Humane Society was going to kill my dog. I had to borrow $75.00 from my neighbors and fly back to that dump to save my poor dog who was returned to me by some doughnut eating fat man behind the desk. I paid that place $110.00 for them to tell me that they were going to kill my dog, My dog had not one thing wrong with him. His only problem was that we lost our home. DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE. THEY PULL THIS ON PEOPLE ALL OF THE TIME WHICH IS WHY THEY HAVE OVER $7,000,000.00 (THAT'S RIGHT) $7 MIL. IN STOCKS, BONDS, CDS AND CASH.

1 Stars: Putting Animals To Sleep (by Breanna W.)

How could you? Putting animals to sleep is really mean. You are losing money because what if somebody wanted that dog? Well there goes your money down the drain. Just expand the humane-society. Animals have feelings too.

I HAD NEVER BEN TO THE NEW HUMANE SOCIETY. i WAS IMPRESSED WITH HOW BIG THE ANIMALS CAGES WERE, HOW THE CATS HAVE THINGS TO CLIMB ON AND BLANKETS TO SLEEP ON . ALSO THE DOGS CAGES WERE LARGE AND CLEAN.

5 Stars: My Dog Ginger (by Susan L.)

I would like to compliment the people at the Wisconsin Humane Society. My daughter and I went there several years ago to adopt a Jack Russel Terrier. She was an abused 3 year old dog who was looking for a second chance. This dog is the most loving dog I ever had. Whatever they do, these dogs are great.

5 Stars: Great organization (by Steve T.)

I got my cat through this organization a few years ago, and I had a great experience. They made the process easy, and the person I worked with was very friendly. They make sure all their animals are spade or neutered and they even give you your first vet visit free. The humane society has a good repuation in Milwaukee, and I know why. I would definitely go through them again.

I have in the past adopted cats form this facility and I adopted a dog from them last year, all wonderful, loving, well trained and cared for animals. The staff was so helpful with selecting the right dog and with the adoption process. Adoption fees are very reasonable. It really is a warm enviroment, so go if here if you are looking for a loving companion, cause they need good homes.

If you're looking for a pet, look here first! They have lots of great, friendly pets (cats, dogs, rabbits, birds, gerbils, rats, etc) that need good homes. I have adopted a total of 4 cats from this center and they've all been great additions to my house. They also have a great wildlife rehab center so if you find an injured animal you can always take it here!

PROS: Great for adopting pets, good staff, wonderful animals
CONS: none.

4 Stars: Nice for the lost to have a place to go... (by Crystal G.)

Crystal G. — Fri, 08 Jul 2005 17:59:00 GMT

... but I wish there were plans for after hours care. We had a lost puppy we just couldn't keep. We had him Friday evening, and decided to take him to the Humane Society on Sunday while we were going to drive past there. They were closed. I called the emergency number, but that place was closed, too. I had to take him to the police station until the Humane Society opened!

PROS: great care of the homeless animals among us
CONS:

5 Stars: Looking to adopt? Start here! (by M D.)

M D. — Wed, 29 Jun 2005 10:03:00 GMT

The Humane Society is a great place to find a forever friend to take home with you. The selections of animals is great. (too bad it's in that kind of situation) When they take their animals in, they do everything they can to accomodate them and make their stay a good one. They also treat them great and try to find the best people for the animals to go home with. The staff is really great and helpful. They won't let you make the wrong decision when choosing an animal because you can take all the time you need to decide and play with it before leaving. You can even hold an animal to make sure it's the one you've been looking for. Adoption fees are reasonable and the hours are great.

5 Stars: They care about there work, they helped me find a home for a pet I cared about (by mike p.)

mike p. — Sun, 22 May 2005 14:05:00 GMT

I had a dog that I was suppose to watch for a month. They never came back. I had lots of people that would have taken it but no one I would have let have this animal that became part of the family and I already had a dog myself and can not take care of another. They had a list of people looking for this type of dog (chiwawa) . They made me feel comfortable that he was going to a good home.They also gave my dog its shots and chip. They treated her as if it was there own.

PROS: Staff was great! prices were listed and fair
CONS: They need a cafeteria :)

4 Stars: This place ROCKS! (by Kennan F.)

They have lots of cats and dogs there. And they clean them up all real good. They also will help with veterinary care if you need it. Want a cat or a dog? Then check this place out, yo!

3 Stars: Pets that need a good home. (by Krista R.)

Krista R. — Fri, 13 May 2005 09:16:00 GMT

I am so thankful for the WHS.
And they have a nice gift store inside.

Cats that are over a year old are free for adoption.
All other animals have a fee.

PLEASE take the FREE month of insurance that is offered for the newly adopted pet.

We adopted one of dogs from here. Do NOT believe everything they tell you.

We were told that the dog we brought home was only 4 years old, in reality he was 11. Which does not make a difference to us, we just wanted an animal to love.
