The Humane Society of Southern Wisconsin started with folks just like you who wanted to be the voice for animals in our community. You can choose your gift type and level—every gift makes a beautiful difference! As a non-profit with more than one third of our funding coming from donations and grants, we thank you for helping us fulfill our mission: Helping pets go home again. We could not do it without you.
Ways to Give
Monetary Giving
Below are a few options for making a monetary donation (aka donating money) to HSSW to support our mission. These include General Donations to support the work we are doing, Honor/Memorial Tribute Donations to honor that special person in your life or a lost loved one, Pet Sponsorships to help support the cost of the care provided to our pets, and our Memorial Patio which allows you to purchase a custom engraved brick to be installed at HSSW.
