Where in the World is Peek-a-Boo Pete?

MILWAUKEE – The Wisconsin Humane Society staff is searching for a missing animal, and they need your help. “Peek-a-Boo Pete” – simply known as Pete – loves playing Peek-a-Boo, but no one can ever seem to keep up with him. The only hot lead is that this mischievous hamster can be found somewhere on the Wisconsin Humane Society's newly redesigned Web site, located at www.wihumane.org. Anyone who finds Pete online during the month of August will win a prize.

In addition to Pete, WHS' redesigned Web site features other adorable companion animal photos. In fact, every time an animal is adopted, a new animal is featured online! Because of this unique feature, it is recommended that potential adopters log online multiple times daily to see which cuddly animals are waiting for a home.

Visitors to www.wihumane.org will also find news about the latest animal issues. WHS is recognized as a statewide resource and “go-to” organization about animal issues, advocacy for animals and more.

Those interested in making a monetary or time donation, or would like to learn about employment opportunities, online forms/applications are available. The site also features wildlife animal tips, volunteer and donor news as well as an updated “Ask the Expert” section including information from our behavior experts about topics ranging from puppy mouthing to separation anxiety. In addition, there is even an online shopping option featuring Animal Antics' latest and greatest animal merchandise keeping the animal's best interest at heart.

To check out the Wisconsin Humane Society's new Web site, or for more information about the organization, log online at www.wihumane.org. Additional information can be obtained by calling (414) ANIMALS.
