Now that I have your attention, consider this cause for paws. The Elmbrook Humane Society is located in Brookfield just west of Barker Road on Enterprise Drive.
It's a stopping point for many displaced cats and dogs, and other creatures. The staff and many volunteers give these pets tender, loving care. The humane society is very successful at finding new homes for these animals. Its adoption rate is 98%.
Many people and businesses provide financial support for the shelter. Some youngsters learn about giving early in life. Scouts have collected items that dogs and cats need. Preteens have asked that contributions be given to the Elmbrook Humane Society instead of toward birthday gifts.
Support arrives through animal adoptions, donations and in-kind contributions of care-giving supplies. Canned pet food, KMR kitten milk replacement, and paper products are always needed. Check the current wish-list at http://www.ebhs.org/.
There are other ways to support our local humane society's mission:
- Shop at (or donate items to) Well-Bred Bargains resale shop in Elm Grove.
- Buy a ‘Waggin' Wheels Car Raffle ticket' for $20.
- Attend the 2008 "Wag Fest" on Saturday, September 20.
- Volunteer at the society.
- Consider sponsoring the event.
