Important Labels to Notice on Adoptable Animals

“Available from Foster” animals are not physically in our shelter. If you are interested in one of these animals, do not book an appointment online. Instead, call us at (608) 838-0413 ext. 145 so we can coordinate an appointment with our foster family.

“Unavailable for Visits Today” animals are either spending the day recovering from surgery or might be offsite on an outing with a staff member. They have not been adopted yet, but are unavailable to be met with today. If you are interested in trying to meet with this animal, schedule your visit for tomorrow or later. Please note that scheduling an appointment does not mean that specific animals will be held for you.

"Available from DCHS Thrift Store” animals are housed at the Dane County Humane Society Thrift Store located at 6904 Watts Road, Madison, WI, 53719. If you are interested in one of these animals, do not book an appointment online. Instead, you may visit the thrift store any time during open hours to meet the animal, no appointment necessary. Please note that opportunity to meet an animal housed at our thrift store on any given day might be affected by available staffing.
