If you are interested in Miniature Schnauzers, please contact Angel's Wish Miniature Schnauzer Rescue.

All animals are up-to-date on vaccinations, dewormed, and spayed or neutered. Cats are tested for FeLV/FIV and dogs are tested for heartworm and microchipped. Cats adopted at the Angel's Wish Pet Adoption and Resource Center also go home with a goodie bag, a coupon for a free nailtrim, and a $5 off coupon for microchipping.

Additionally, all adopted pets come with one month of ShelterCare Pet Insurance for peace of mind. Adoption fee, a valid email address, and application required.

About Our Adoption Events

Angel's Wish does not have a shelter; we believe animals do best in a foster care setting instead of being in a cage while awaiting a new home. Fostering allows us to provide loving, individual care and assess behavior and personality in a home-setting. This helps us to make better matches and increases the probability of permanent placement.

If you are interested in a specific animal, just make an appointment with their foster home or find out which adoption event they will be at by contacting the person listed on the animal's Petfinder.com page. Otherwise, come to one of our many adoption events to meet multiple animals at once. A map to each location is available by clicking on the location's address.

Every week people come to us looking for a new member of the family, and every week several great animals find new homes with those wonderful people.

We often hear from these adoptive families letting us know how their pet is doing. We are proud of our successes and enjoy sharing some of their stories with you here!

Hi Lois! Writing to update you on Ratchet (a.k.a., Mookie), who is growing -- and quickly, I might add -- into a charming young man and a formidable hunter of mouse-toys. I couldn't get him an appointment in our first ten days, but he has a date with the vet (at the Petinary, on Williamson St., Madison) for his exam, second distemper shot, etc. on this Thursday the 28th. Ratchet is quite the conversationalist, particularly when he's been alone for a few hours, but he's learning quickly that I am not as interested in his speeches at bedtime. When he's not charging from room to room after toys, he is a wonderful snuggler and nap-buddy, who likes to sit in my lap while I am reading or doing work at the computer. He has a definite sense of humor, and is beginning to enjoy watching birds and skittering things from the windows. It seems like he has been with me for months already, and he's already getting leggier and more agile. It's amazing watching him grow up and learn new things-- his pouncing strategies get more refined every day. What a charmer he is! Thanks for setting us up! Louisa

Hi Lois, We hope you and everyone at Angel's Wish had a wonderful Christmas! Wayne and I adopted Alli (formerly Cindy) on September 26th of this year. We want you to know that we are so grateful and thankful to have her in our home and in our lives. Alli has been such a joy. We look forward to seeing her every morning. We spend as much time as possible with Alli during the day. Wayne recently retired (two days ago), and will now be able to spend even more time with Alli. Shortly after we adopted Alli, we took her on a driving trip to Canada. We found that she traveled very well, and seemed to enjoy the vacation! We lost our beloved cat Hobo this past August. He was at least 22 years old, and we had him for 20 years. Hobo can never be replaced, but Alli has shown us that we can love another pet. Thank you so much for the work you do with animals. Thank you for bringing Alli to us!! Wayne and Linda

Hi Lois, Our kitten, Cody, (now Charlie), is doing very well in his new home. He is extremely playful and easy-going. His friendly personality is charming everyone. We have attached a photo of him fetching, which he loves to do. Also a photo of him in one of his favorite toys. We are so happy that we adopted him through Angels Wish...it is a wonderful organization. Happy Holidays, Heather
