Get Involved

Thank you for your interest in joining us to make a difference for animals and the people who love them! There are so many ways to get involved with WHS, and we’re happy you’re here.

How to Get Involved with WHS

Whether you’d like to volunteer your time, enroll your kids in camp, host an animal in your home, attend an event, or shop for the cause, we offer exciting opportunities for all animal lovers – and a chance to make a lasting impact for pets and families in our community.

Volunteer at WHS

Be the reason a tail wags or a family stays together. No matter which role you support as a volunteer, you’ll make a true difference in your community.  Whether you’re providing animals with day-to-day care, releasing a wildlife patient back into their natural habitat, engaging the new generation of animal enthusiasts, or connecting families to critical resources, your time at WHS matters and expands our impact for the animals and families we serve.

Youth Programs

The Wisconsin Humane Society offers in-person and virtual youth programs at our Milwaukee, Ozaukee, and Racine Campuses. Here are a few of the many ways kids, parents, guardians, and teachers can get involved!

Foster an Animal

By welcoming a foster animal into your home, you provide them with the invaluable opportunity to decompress, heal, grow, and let their true personality shine away from the stress of the shelter environment. Whether you can host for one night or several weeks, every foster placement is impactful and frees up more space inside our walls for another animal with nowhere else to turn.

Attend an Event

Whether you’re attending one of our events or participating in a fundraiser for WHS out in the community, you can make a difference for the animals and families we serve! Check out the upcoming events benefiting WHS.
