ADOPTED! Brilliant Black Lab Charley
Charley is such a special dog! He is an absolute delight for our volunteer dog walkers, who report that he's not only affectionate, eager to please and polite, but an incredibly quick learner and motivated student. He has been taught "sit," "down," "shake" and is starting to explore the agility equipment in WHS' outdoor play yard. In no time at all, Charley will be performing parlor tricks with his new best friend - you! At only 6-months-old, Charley looks forward to a lifetime of love and learning. Bring the whole family down to meet this special dog (who also LOVES belly rubs, by the way). See him at http://www.wihumane.org/animals/dogs
Bath Towels Needed for Dozer's Pals
Doing some spring cleaning? The Wisconsin Humane Society depends solely on donations from the community for all our programs and right now, we are in need of bath towels! Even if you can't adopt, volunteer or donate money, there are items on the WHS Wishlist that might be just taking up space at home. Drop them off during our shelter hours: Monday-Friday: 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday: 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., or Sunday: 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. On behalf of the animals, thank you!!!
ps... Dozer is looking for a new home. Learn more about this super smart 1-year-old yellow Labrador Retriever mix.

Hoppin' Himalayan Bunny
This cute bunny hasn’t begun meowing quite yet, but Snowflake is definitely enjoying her new suite in the Royal Cat Hotel at the Wisconsin Humane Society, helping to draw attention to the many rabbits looking for new homes right now. A 2-year-old Himalayan mix, Snowflake is super soft and has beautiful, distinctive markings. She LOVES her new digs in the Royal Cat Hotel and approaches visitors with curiosity and courage. Like all the rabbits at WHS, she’s been spayed and microchipped, and she goes home with a certificate for a free veterinary exam. Snowflake will continue to attract attention in her swanky place until she finds herself queen of a new castle. Check out http://www.wihumane.org/animals/rabbits.aspx to see all the great rabbits looking for new homes this spring!

Shelter Dog Joins MPD!
The Wisconsin Humane Society is thrilled to announce the acceptance of one of the shelter dogs into the Milwaukee Police Department’s Vice Control Division's Drug Detection Canine Program. Dozer, a 1-year-old yellow Labrador Retriever, was chosen for training after passing aptitude and medical tests.
Detective Glen Bishop recently contacted Natalie Zielinski, WHS behavior manager, about his quest to find a dog to work in law enforcement. A rather exuberant, intelligent canine came to Zielinski’s attention and she suspected that the lab might excel in police work. Curious, confident, highly motivated and eager to learn, this smart dog fit the ideal profile.
“We have assisted the police department in finding good matches for their program in the past,” Zielinski said. “For the right dog, this opportunity is ideal. I can’t imagine a better placement for a dog like Dozer, who really needs a job, in addition to a loving guardian. We’re so excited for him.”
Like all dogs available for adoption at the Wisconsin Humane Society, Dozer was neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and tested for heartworm disease.
