Adopt an Elf from the North Pole!

MILWAUKEE ? They're tiny, they have cute little noses, they're best known as Santa's little helpers and they've been spotted at the North Pole! These cute little friends are none other than elves!

The Wisconsin Humane Society will transform its Small Animal Boutique into the North Pole just in time for the holidays from December 11 until the end of the year. There are many adorable little elves ? rabbits, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs and domestic mice ? waiting for you to take them home.

As part of the Wisconsin Humane Society's celebration of its furry elves, adoption fees will be waived for the tiny elves and new adopters can purchase a small animal cage for $10, while supplies last. Each elf will go home with his or her very own holiday stocking filled with goodies.
