You may have to travel to Green Bay or further if you are looking to adopt a pet.

The Wisconsin Humane Society announced on Monday it would be closing its Door County campus and its sister sites in Racine and Ozaukee counties until further notice due to staffing challenges brought on by the pandemic.  While you may be able to adopt directly from foster homes, the Wisconsin Humane Society will only offer adoption services from its Milwaukee and Green Bay campuses. WHS Vice President of Communications Angela Speed said this strategy allowed them to keep their doors open for animals in need despite unpredictable, limited staffing at the beginning of the pandemic.

You can still bring in surrendered, stray, or injured animals to the Door County campus, but it is encouraged to call ahead so a staff member can be there to assist you. Animals that had been previously at the Door County campus will be transferred to the Milwaukee or Green Bay sites.
