1) Saving Paws Animal Rescue
"We believe that every animal deserves a chance at finding their forever home and, in pursuit of that goal, we provide as much love and care as we can until they meet with their new families. Saving Paws works with cats and dogs. Our dogs are hosted in a network of foster homes while they wait for adoption and many of our cats wait in the rescue's main building or in foster homes, depending on their needs."
2) Fox Valley Humane Association
For dogs, cats and adoptable exotic animals, "the thousands of animals that temporarily reside at
FVHA each year are in good hands and well cared for by our passionate staff, veterinary team, and volunteers. All animals receive fresh food, water, blankets, beds, and toys each day and animals are socialized and/or walked on a daily basis. All cats and dogs are spayed or neutered, up-to-date on routine vaccines, tested for heart worm (dogs) or feline leukemia (cats), micro-chipped, and complete a basic health exam and behavior assessment before going home with a new family. We love our animals more than words can express and have multiple programs in place to meet each animal’s needs during his or her time at the shelter."

We believe in lifetime commitments. When you adopt you become a part of our family. We’re here for you and the newest member of your family.

8) Lucky 7 Dog Rescue
If you're looking for a dog to adopt specifically, "we have adopted out over 1,000 dogs since our founding and in that time we have learned that rescue is about more than just getting a dog in a home- it is about keeping a dog in their home. For that reason, we have recently added several services to our rescue to help adopters after they have found their forever friend. The say it takes a village to raise a child. Well, it takes a pack to raise dogs. This is ours. And we’re glad you’re here."
9) Wisconsin Human Society
"We can't thank you enough for
your interest in fostering! The time you'll spend caring for animals in need is truly invaluable and expands our lifesaving capacity. Once you're onboard as a foster, you'll also be invited to join a private group on Facebook so you can network with other foster parents, ask questions, trade tips, share updates, or simply boast about how great your current foster animal is doing! Though you'll be volunteering independently at home, you'll quickly realize you're part of a tight knit and wise community of foster parents right here in your area."
