    My family recently started volunteering here - in part to get volunteer hours for my high school…read moreson, but also because we love animals. Volunteering can range from "socializing" with dogs, walking them, helping clean, do laundry - whatever you can think of. This organization means well and loves their animals. It can't be easy - as one animal goes out, there are many more waiting to be rescued. It's heartbreaking, but SFTS is one of the heroes to those animals. They're not a large swanky facility with tons of financial resources. But they care. Their adoption events are at PetSmart (east side) every Saturday. While the adoption fee can feel like a lot (it varies from pet to pet), remember they've had all of their medical care taken care of. A mill puppy will cost way more, and rescued dogs KNOW they are being rescued. There's no other love like that.

    We adopted our sweet Rudie from Shelter From The Storm seven years ago, and they gave us the gift…read moreof some of the most wonderful years we could have ever asked for. From the start, it was clear how much the staff truly cares for every animal that comes through their doors. They made sure Rudie, then called Dana, was healthy, loved, and ready for her forever home. These pics are from the day we drove from Chicago to Madison to bring her home. Over the years, we came to understand what people mean when they say, "who rescued who." Rudie brought more love, laughter, and comfort into our lives than we could ever have imagined. We're deeply grateful for the joy she gave us and for the compassion this shelter shows every single day. We lost Rudie last month, and while our hearts are heavy, we're endlessly thankful for the seven beautiful years we shared. She was family in every sense, and that's because this shelter gave her such a strong start. The love, care, and respect they show every animal make all the difference. Losing her reminds us just how special adoption truly is. Thank you for helping us find our best friend.

    We cannot say enough good things about Angel's Wish. We adopted all three of our babies, Frank,…read moreArchie, and Freddie through them, and the entire experience was nothing short of wonderful. From the very beginning, they were patient, kind, and incredibly thoughtful. They were so sweet with our three boys, even when the kids understandably got antsy and loud because well... they were done. Angel's Wish never made us feel rushed or uncomfortable. Instead, they met us with grace and understanding. Our cats are truly amazing and fit into our family perfectly. You can tell how much care and love goes into the way Angel's Wish places their animals. We were especially grateful to receive handmade small blankets and toys upon their adoption! Such a thoughtful and kind gift that our cats adore! Angel's Wish doesn't just help you adopt pets...they help you build your family. We are endlessly thankful for them and would recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone looking to adopt. We also want to share that while reading reviews, we came across a few negative ones that felt discouraging at first. After going through the adoption process ourselves, we truly believe many of those concerns come from misunderstandings rather than lack of care. Policies like encouraging kittens to be adopted in pairs or carefully reviewing veterinary records clearly reflect Angel's Wish's commitment to doing what's best for the animals long-term. We also saw mention of serious illnesses that developed after adoption, which is heartbreaking, but we learned that these are things no rescue could reasonably predict. When one of our own cats showed mild URI symptoms after coming home, Angel's Wish was kind, responsive, and reassuring, and we fully understood that this was not something within their control. Our experience consistently showed compassion, honesty, and a genuine desire to support both the animals and the families who adopt them.

I went here three years ago and now I have two cats from DCHS and I spend all my money on spoiling them. We have our two sweet, angel fur babies AKA children from DCHS and now we are crazy cat people. The feline counselors and adoption volunteers we worked with on both adoption occasions were amazing. They did very thorough intakes of our lives and wants/needs and helped match us to our fuzzballs. On both occasions, the adoption counselors recommended a cat that wasn't originally on our list "to see" and both ended up going home with us and being our perfect matches. The shelter itself is clean, well-maintained and full of fabulous people who care about animals and their humans. They adopt out hundreds of animals each week and serve a bunch of remote locations too. They have birds, small critters and dogs and cats. They also have a super cool wildlife rescue program that works with bats, owls, turtles and all kinds of Wisconsin wild creatures. They do amazing work and they only humanely euthanize an animal if it will not survive otherwise. They don't put down animals if they have too many, in fact this is a shelter that sends caravans to rescue animals from other states and shelters that would kill them. They have great veterinary teams and health consultations for new adopters. It would be an understatement to say that DCHS has changed my life. Please see ample photos of my photogenic cats.

These are volunteers who make it their mission to care for these animals. We try to get in a few times a year to help out. I should also say that we have received one cat from them who was in perfect health. And we had to surrender another cat that we found abandoned. Thank you for the work that you do!
