Story
Ellie Jinora is a wonderful girl, she is well trained, but full of energy. She is an apartment dog, so she never got use to having a yard and being around a lot of people. She is a loving dog who enjoys cuddles, playing, walks and chewing. It is best for her to be in a home with experienced pet owners of energetic and timid dogs. She would be best suited in a home with small numbers of people in the household, as she is not use to being around so many people. She does not do well with sudden movements towards her or loud noises, but she has never bitten anyone it's just her bark that is scarier. She knows English and Spanish and knows various commands and tricks. I have been working with her on a lot of training and socializing, but she still has work to do. She is a spoiled loving baby, who loves hard once she gets to know someone. She deserves a good home with people who can give her the love and attention she needs. Hopefully you can be that home.

Story
Meet Raven! This pretty girl is a 3 year old Pitbull mix. She was adopted from here as a puppy but sadly, she was returned recently for not getting along with the cat in the home. Raven is the happiest girl! She is content and happy no matter what she is doing. Whether she is snuggled up in her bed with her favorite toy or playing in the play yard, she is always happy. She also loves to share her toys and will bring it to you. Raven is well mannered but needs to work on her jumping a little bit. She also keeps her kennel very clean. We are unsure how she is with other dogs but all dogs in the home will need to be present to meet her. She can’t be in a home with cats. Raven will be available for adoption tomorrow at 12pm and is eager to meet you.

Story
Hello all! My name is Carter! I am a 11 years old! When I first came into the shelter I was a pretty nervous guy. But you wouldn`t think that when you come and visit with me now! My tail is always wagging and my nose is up in the air smelling all the smells. I love new people and I love to be pet, even more I love to give people kisses! I could use some training on simple things, but other than that I am the perfect dog! Come on into the Humane Society of Southern Wisconsin and visit with me!

Story
Bosco is a sweet boy that might do best in home with no other dogs. - energetic and playful so needs an active home with space or time to help wear out his energy-needs to be the only dog. Loves attention- loves his food and treats so very motivated and easy to train- wants to please and can be a little Velcro dog to his person-very affectionate. Loves to give hugs and meanful kisses. -He loves to snuggle on the couch. If allowed In bed he is great because he doesn’t really move much. -loves to chew any kind of bone or chew toy. Stuffed toys he will play with and have shred parties but he is a good boy and doesn’t eat what he shreds. -Loves to go on walks. Is good when worked with and may pull here and here when he really wants to go somewhere. He’s quite strong. Best to keep him from other dogs on walks.-he loves to run and have the zoomies! - he is great in the car- probably too energetic and powerful for young kids - loves taking trips to stores where dogs are allowed. Can be shy sometimes with strangers but usually likes meeting new people. - Not a big barker - knows quite a few basic commands/tricks and willing to learn more. - he loves his people with all of his heartAsk about him today!

Story
Hi I`m Joey, I`m sure Jesse talked about me already, but I`m the handsome one! I was a stray with 3 other dogs in Whitewater and then we came to Lakeland. I`m a bigger boy who does walk pretty well on a leash and more or less mind my own business. I`d prefer a home without other dogs so I can soak up all the attention myself.

Story
Hi I`m Jesse! I came in with 3 other dogs I was hanging with on the streets of Whitewater. We got to take a ride in a police car, yep all four of us together. Joey and I look pretty similar so we could be siblings, but were not talking. I`m kind of big but I do walk well on a leash and have good manners. I don`t react to other dogs but I don`t want to live with them either. I will make a great companion!

Story
Miss Piggie was found on a back road in the middle of nowhere. Cold, starving and scared Miss Piggie was defensive and barked at everyone that approached her. Luckily an officer reached out to a staff member for help. After many hotdog pieces and talking, Miss Piggie was able to be looped. She was happy to be snuggled in a warm blanket on the way to the shelter. Miss Piggie is still shy and slowly opening up to meeting new people. She will need multiple meetings with her new family. Older kids will be best due to her fearfulness towards strangers. She is also learning that other dogs can be friends. If you think Miss Piggie will be the right fit for you apply today!*Miss Piggie is currently at the shelter. We will not know how her house training will be.
