Thanks to Friends of MADACC our PETFLIX “Name Your Own Adoption Fee” has the last curtain call at 5pm on Sunday, April 2. Please consider adopting a dog from MADACC. It will make such a difference in the life of that dog! Friends of MADACC wants to help us get all these wonderful dogs into homes!

MADACC, Friends of MADACC and Lost Dogs of Wisconsin are teaming up to help increase the odds of getting your pet back home safely, and if possible, without a trip to MADACC! Learn more about programs available to Milwaukee County Pet Owners by clicking here!

Milwaukee County Dog and Cat licenses can be purchased or renewed now! Animal licenses are valid January 1 – December 31 each year.

Help is available for owners in need!

Loved pets are given up to animal shelters, by heartbroken owners who think this is their only option. pets.findhelp.com, available for free, is the first platform of its kind to make accessing pet support easy, keeps families together and prevents pets being unnecessarily surrendered to shelters.

Short and long term fosters NEEDED! Click HERE for more info!

From a weekend out of the shelter, to socializing kittens until surgery and adoption, to helping us learn about the personality of a shy animal – we have a foster option for you! Fosters also get to be first in line to adopt their temporary roommate, or to find a home for them via your friends and family. We need help every day to ensure all animals can find a second chance and our fosters are a critical part of that! See what opportunities are available. Do it once a year, do it all summer. You get to choose!
