Background
| Angel’s
Wish is an all-volunteer, nonprofit 501(c)3 organization founded
in 2000. Members of the media can access photos,
artwork, and press
releases on our Media page.
Mission Statement
Angel’s Wish is dedicated to reducing animal overpopulation,
rehoming companion animals, and raising awareness of animal
welfare issues in South Central Wisconsin.
Why are we called Angel's Wish?
Lois Lawrence, a founding member of Angel's Wish, once rescued
a kitten from a construction site. Weak with starvation, dehydration,
and a severe upper respiratory infection, neither veterinary
treatment nor Lois’ love and care could save the kitten
from the effects of that hot June day. Angel died that night
in Lois' arms. We believe that Angel's Wish would have been
that no other animal be subjected to pain, suffering, abandonment
or neglect.

| About
the Animals of Angel’s Wish
We
divert animals from ever arriving at area shelters, and as
space allows, assist rescue groups and shelters. We accept
only animals we have space to care for, and euthanize only
for severe medical or temperament reasons. Animals stay in
their current home or are cared for in volunteer foster homes
until adoptive homes are found.
Before
any Angel’s Wish animal is placed in a new home, he
or she is spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and treated for
parasites and any known medical concerns. Cats are tested
for FeLV/FIV; dogs are tested for heartworm and are microchipped.
Upon adoption, all animals are eligible for one month of complimentary
ShelterCare Pet Insurance. 100% of adoption fees are applied
to animal medical care.
Adopt
a new furry friend
Our
volunteer foster homes get to know their fostered animals
well and understand their personalities—allowing us
to make great matches between people and pets! Let us know
about your family situation, current pets, and the type of
pet you are looking for and we can guide you to animals that
would be a great match.
