Have you checked out all the adorable puppies and dogs at WHS lately?  From little Darth, above, an Australian Cattle Dog cuddlebug, to Labrador Retriever and Australian Shepherd mixes, if you are looking for a puppy, stop by the Wisconsin Humane Society at 45th & Wisconsin first. All dogs and puppies are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and go home with 30 days pet health insurance and a certificate for a free veterinary exam.

Tip of the Week: Join us for Tails and Tales, the Wisconsin Humane Society’s story time for children 2-4 years-old. Animal-related books with a humane theme will be read at each session and will be followed by activities and an opportunity to meet an animal. The next Tails and Tales will be held on Thursday, March 18 from 10:30-11:00 a.m. Register online at www.wihumane.org.
