Scout Nights with Animals at WHS
Join the staff of the Wisconsin Humane Society for a fun-filled program where scouts can learn all about companion animals. Make some cool cat toys, learn how to train canines with our "Bow-Wow Basics" program and even receive a behind-the-scenes tour! Learn about the journey that the animals take to reach Adoption Avenue. Scout nights occur twice a month on Wednesday nights. Pre-registration is required. Please call (414) 431-6159 or email Dezarae Jones-Hartwig at dhartwig@wihumane.org for information about the next available Scout Night.
Stop the Pulling!
Due to popular demand, the Wisconsin Humane Society is once again offering our Stop the Pulling Seminar. This class is a lesson in loose leash walking for a dog and her guardian. This one-time class will teach your dog to walk on a leash without pulling (in a game-like lesson) using reward-based training. If your dog is taking YOU for a walk, consider bringing him to WHS’ next Stop the Pulling workshop on Wednesday, September 9 from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. This class is for dogs of all ages who need some extra assistance walking politely on leash.The fee for our Stop the Pulling class is $20, and all proceeds go to the animals at the Wisconsin Humane Society.

Eagle Service Project to Benefit WHS
Now this is one cool kid!
On October 10, Ryan Creekmur and fellow Boy Scouts from Troop 506 will be distributing flyers and plastic donation bags to over 2,000 homes in the greater Greendale area. A week later they will return to pick up any items generously donated by the concerned animal lovers of the community.
Ryan is specifically requesting items from WHS Wish List, which includes such things as cat food, dog food, toys, office supplies, bowls, towels and many other necessary supplies to care for the homeless animals at the shelter waiting for placement in a good home. WHS especially needs canned cat food, cat litter and dog toys.
If you would like to make a donation or assist Ryan in his project to “Help the Homeless,” please contact him at this e-mail address:EagleProject506@hotmail.com.
