Featured Adoptable Pets |

Butch is a handsome boy
with plenty of spring still in his step. Butch was
surrendered to WCHS due to his owners health. He is playful
and friendly and he will gladly welcome you with a happy
meow. He is good with most other cats and some dogs. Kids
over 12 are best as he loves to play to win!

|
Sport is a shy but gentle boy. He was a transfer
from Shawano County Humane Society due to lack of
space. Sport will need time, routine and structure,
patience, and TLC to gain confidence in his
surroundings. He is shy of new people, fast
movements, and new environments, but does tenderly
approach everyone for reassurance and gentle pets.
It is possible that he is a puppymill survivor.
Sport needs a family that will help him become the
dog we know he can and wants to be! He would do fine in
a home with cats and gentle children over 12 years
old, but prefers to be the only canine.

Membership Appeal |
|
As I started to write this membership appeal,
I reflected on what motivates people to give to a particular
organization or cause. Most appeals from humane
organizations highlight specific animals…those that have
suffered a
debilitating injury or have a particularly heart-wrenching
story. I myself have done the same thing when appealing to
all of you. Read

Here’s how it works: ShelterCare Pet Insurance Programs cover
you when your pet needs essential veterinary care from an illness or
injury. Also, every time a completed application for a ShelterCare
program is generated through our shelter’s website, we automatically
receive a $25 donation to help cover common needs like blankets,
litter and food. This donation is of no cost to you and
provides us with essential funds. Make the right move and enroll

Foster care is a way to help animals currently
residing at WCHS by caring for them temporarily in your own

placed up for adoption. Families keep the foster pet for 1
week to 2 months depending on the case. All food, necessities
are provided in return for your time and love!
Greeters: We
are looking for adults to greet customers when they visit the
shelter. Greeters are helpful with donations and answering
general questions from the visitors. A fun position for
retired adults! Hours are flexible: Mondays 1-7pm, Tuesdays,
Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays 1-5pm, Wednesdays 5-8pm.
