Humane Milwaukee Pet of the Week: Nala
We can't quite decide who is more in love with Nala: the humans who serve her or Nala herself! If there is one thing we can all agree on, it is that Nala knows exactly what she wants and it is nothing short of everything.

Humane Milwaukee pet of the week: Aaden

Wisconsin Humane Society pet of the week: Taz
If you currently live with or have lived with a cat, you know how those of the feline persuasion can inject life into your home. They perform acrobatics. They “talk” with the birds outside your window. They curl up on your lap. Just the way Taz does.
