Join the Wisconsin and Ozaukee Humane Societies as we celebrate Mardi Paws June 9 - 11.

With summer quickly approaching, storms are brewing all over the U.S. Thunderstorms, tornadoes, hurricanes and wildfires sparked by drought all pose potential threats to animal safety. The devastating hurricanes of 2005 taught us to be more prepared for these disasters.

We here at WHS want to make sure that every companion animal is considered when making these preparations. One effort being made to protect our companion animals after disaster strikes is the Pet Evacuation and Transportation Standards Act (PETS). This act ensures that beloved animals will be included in emergency preparedness plans throughout the country. We urge you to contact your representatives to ask them to support this important piece of legislation.

To get the word out to everyone about PETS, we're putting on our beads and dressing up Adoption Avenue. Beads will be available to all visitors for a $1 donation. For our animal companions, special Mardi Paws collars will be available for sale in Animal Antics.
