To build a community where people value animals and treat them with respect and kindness.

WHS has been saving the lives of animals in need for 130 years. Because of our long and illustrious history of serving the Milwaukee community, we are also known as the Milwaukee Humane Society. As the largest and most recognized shelter in the state of Wisconsin, WHS offers a comprehensive adoption program, lifesaving medical care, a spay/neuter clinic, and educational programs for children and adults. We run one of the largest wildlife rehabilitation hospitals of its kind in the nation, rescuing thousands of animals annually.
