 Labors of our Loves
Celebrating Industrious Dogs this Labor Day Weekend
On Saturday and Sunday, the Wisconsin and Ozaukee Humane Societies are celebrating the Labor Day weekend with a “Labors of our Loves” promotion. We’re celebrating the animals in our lives who double as our personal trainers, dishwashers, psychiatrists and more...
Anyone who brings in a pet food item will get a discount coupon for any item in our retail store, Animal Antics. And all month long, the fee for kittens has been reduced to only $75. WHS has many puppies and kittens available right now, so they’re hoping to be busy this weekend. With many people off work on Monday, it’s a perfect time to adopt and spend some quality time welcoming a new companion into your life!
Every Wednesday during the month of August, all canine and feline adoption fees will be reduced by 25%. A free tote will also be offered with the adoption of each adult cat.

From August 13 through 15, anyone adopting an adult cat will have the opportunity to pick a coupon for a discount of 5-15% off their entire purchase in Animal Antics, the Wisconsin Humane Society retail store.

ABOUT THE CONTEST
Wisconsin Humane Society Takes on ASPCA Challenge to Save Lives:
Winning Shelter to Receive $100,000 ASPCA Grant
The Wisconsin Humane Society has been chosen to participate in the Save More Lives – ASPCA $100K Challenge, competing for a $100,000 grant from the ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals).
The Wisconsin Humane Society (WHS) will be competing against other shelters across the country during the months of August, September, and October for two prizes. $100,000 will go to the shelter that achieves the greatest increase in lives saved over the three month period. $25,000 will go to the shelter that engages the largest number of members of the community who help in saving more lives. WHS has to have at least 300 more cat and dog adoptions than they did in the same period in 2009 to qualify for any prizes.
Plans are in the making for creative ways to increase the number of adoptions at the shelter and market this fabulous promotion to Southeastern Wisconsin. Sign up for the Howler e-newsletter to keep updated on the ASPCA $100K Challenge.
