Home for the Howlidays Adoption Event

Home for the Howlidays Adoption Event

Join us on December 2 for an extra special holiday edition (and just our second-ever) adoption event where your dreams of welcoming a new furry friend into your home (day-of!) might just come true.
Our dedicated team has been hard at work, and we are delighted to introduce you to a wonderful array of adorable puppies and dogs, each seeking their forever home.

Apply to adopt:
To be eligible to take your pup home day-off, apply to adopt in advance! You can learn more and apply at https://fetchwi.org/adopt. If you're already approved, great!

How it'll work:
At this event, you'll have the chance to meet and interact with our lovable puppies, learn more about their unique personalities, and discover which one is the perfect match for your family. Our experienced adoption and foster teams will be on hand to answer your questions, offer guidance, and provide valuable information about the adoption process. We’re hoping this event will help you get to know more dogs and see who could truly be a great fit for your family, beyond a website bio.

Location:
State Line Distillery is an excellent spot! Plan to enjoy a cocktail while you socialize with the puppies! We recommend you make the adoption decision early on in your cocktail tasting to avoid any regrets.

The dogs:
Check out this event closer to the date to see which dogs are coming. If there's somebody you're excited to meet, let your foster partner or adopt@fetchwi.org know! To make the most use of the space, we might ask you to come at a specific time to meet the pups you are interested in.

Oh yeah, the howlidays!
Feel free to wear your holiday outfits! Also check out our event the next weekend where you, your dog, and family can take pictures with Santa at Kicks Unlimited! https://fb.me/e/2UnNaQ2sx
