‘We are at crisis level’: Wisconsin Humane Society reduces adoption fees as need for dog adoptions skyrockets

(WFRV) – The Wisconsin Humane Society says it is in dire need of dog adopters and foster parents as they have several hundred dogs in care across the state.

“[We] are drastically reducing adoption fees in hopes of finding as many great matches as possible,” the Wisconsin Humane Society said on Facebook.

‘Benchwarmer’ dog adoption fees have been reduced to $25 as well, for the time being.
