Story
Home for the Holidays Adoption Promotion Participant: 50% off adoption fee 12/20-12/21 Meet Spirit Spirit may be a puppy with a disability, but don’t tell her that—she has no idea! This happy, affectionate girl is full of love and joy. Her favorite things include snuggling on a soft bed or curling up right in your lap for a nap after a good play session. Spirit is paralyzed in her back end due to a stable spinal fracture that cannot be surgically repaired. She cannot use her back legs and has no control over stool or urine, but her elimination is reflexive and does not require intervention as long as amounts remain normal. Despite this, Spirit doesn’t let her condition slow her down one bit—she’s just as playful and silly as any other pup. She’s very social and loves meeting new people, especially kids. Spirit gets along well with other dogs and is curious about cats—though her playful energy and eagerness to chase may be a bit much for some feline friends. Like most puppies, Spirit is learning the ropes of the world. She’s working on playing fetch, enjoys sunny days outdoors, and thinks wagon rides are the best way to go on walks. She’s even dipped her paws into swimming at the lake! True to puppy form, she does like to explore the world with her mouth, so she’ll need continued guidance as she grows. At night, Spirit settles nicely in her crate and sleeps soundly when things are quiet. She’s the perfect mix of playful and cuddly—always ready for fun, but happiest snuggled up next to her people. If you’re looking for a sweet, resilient puppy who will bring sunshine, silliness, and snuggles into your life, Spirit just might be your match! All of our dogs are dewormed, spayed/neutered, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and heartworm tested if they are old enough.

Story
Meet Ophelia — a gentle, resilient soul finally stepping into the love she has always deserved. At just 2 years old, this beautiful pit mix has already weathered far more than most dogs ever should. Found as an emaciated stray and brought to Milwaukee Animal Control, Ophelia gave birth to her puppies only days later. Despite her condition, she poured every bit of strength into caring for them. Now that her pups are thriving, it’s Ophelia’s turn to be cherished. Ophelia’s foster family can’t say enough wonderful things about her. She is incredibly sweet, affectionate, and calm, with a soft spirit that shines through more every day. She does well in a crate overnight and for short stretches during the day, and eats peacefully alongside other dogs with no resource guarding at all. She gets along wonderfully with the resident dog (a friendly 60-lb male) and absolutely adores the children in the home — even choosing to sleep in bed with one of them when she’s not crated. Chaos doesn’t rattle her; loud kid energy and visitors don’t faze her in the slightest. She greets new people with a full-body tail wag and sometimes an excited hop, but she’s easily redirected with gentle guidance. Ophelia is still underweight and regaining strength, and while she walks well inside the home, she can pull strongly on leash in the yard — something that may increase as she continues to gain healthy weight. With continued patience and love, she will only keep blossoming. Ophelia is quiet, snuggly, and incredibly devoted — a dog who wants nothing more than to be close to her people and feel safe at last. After everything she’s overcome, she’s ready for a forever family who will show her the same unconditional love she has shown her puppies. If your home has room for a tender-hearted companion who radiates gratitude and sweetness, Ophelia may be the perfect addition to your family. All of our dogs are dewormed, spayed/neutered, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and heartworm tested if they are old enough.

Meet Brandi 🤎🐾 Brandi is a sweet chocolate pittie puppy who joined us from MADACC after being found as a stray. She can be a bit shy at first, but once she warms up, her gentle and playful personality really shines. Brandi plays well with other dogs and would enjoy a home where she can continue to socialize and build confidence. She would likely do well in a family with kids who can help her burn off puppy energy and show her lots of love. Like any young pup, Brandi is still learning her basic manners and will thrive with positive training, patience, and consistency. She’s ready to grow into a wonderful lifelong companion in her forever home. All of our dogs are dewormed, spayed/neutered, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and heartworm tested if they are old enough.

Story
Julien is an absolute dreamboat! Not only is he a slam-dunk in the looks department, he's mastered the "puppy eyes"; and just sucks you in with one look. Julien is sweet as can be, just melting in your hands and showering you with kisses. This kid is a master snuggler, and his tail never stops wagging. Although Julien does totally fine with other dogs when a barrier such as a fence or kennel door is involved, he would prefer not to share your attention and be the only dog in his forever home. Julien came to us with many scars on his face and legs, so we're assuming he may have been attacked in the past and understandably feels a bit nervous around other dogs. Julien has spent some time in our staff offices, as he's a favorite around the shelter. He loves to help with office duties and make sure everyone stays on task. After a few minutes of exploring, Julien settles in and lays on his bed all stretched relaxing. Julien is one fantastic pup, that's for sure! All of our animals are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on age appropriate vaccines.
