HAWS announces 50% off adoption fees for some shelter animals June 11-30

WAUKESHA COUNTY, Wis. (CBS 58) -- The Humane Animal Welfare Society of Waukesha (HAWS) is temporarily reducing their adoption fee for all animals who have been at the shelter for more than 30 days.

From Saturday, June 11 through June 30, the adoption fee for any dogs, cats and small animals who've been at HAWS for over a month will be 50% off. 

“Animal welfare organizations across the country are seeing their residents stay with them longer than ever before,” notes HAWS Executive Director Lynn Olenik. “HAWS is no exception to this, but we are leading the way with our new K9 Task Force, ultimately improving the well-being of shelter animals of all species.”

The shelter says their K9 Task Force is responsible for "creating and implementing an individualized management plan for each dog at HAWS, with an emphasis on those that remain at the shelter for longer time periods." 

They say the group is designed to support animals through tailored enrichment, field trips, medical intervention, environmental modification and more as needed. 

HAWS is open seven days a week. To check out all of their adoptable pets, go to hawspets.org/adopt or call 262-542-8851 to learn more.
