WHS Turns on the Lights for a Pajama Party!

MILWAUKEE – The Wisconsin Humane Society is turning on the lights on Monday, December 26, a day we are normally closed for adoptions, to celebrate our companion animals' holiday spirit. The day after Christmas is usually a day for children to stay in their pajamas, watch a good movie and hang out with their best friend. This year, all of the companion animals at WHS will be hanging out in their pajamas waiting for you to visit them and develop a lasting, lifetime bond with them.

Come celebrate the day with us on Monday, December 26 where the festivities will include:

•  doggie makeovers including animal pedicures at WHS;

•  the chance to talk with a Pet Communicator ($40 for 20 minutes and $60 for
30 minutes; a portion of the proceeds will go to WHS);

•  the opportunity for children to design and decorate a companion animal bed for their very own Fluffy or Fido;

•  prizes for all children under the age of 12 who come in their pajamas;

•  special showing of feature length movies throughout the day highlighting companion animals;

•  and, of course, the opportunity to adopt a lifelong companion animal.
