    Animal Shelters in Milwaukee, WI

    Milwaukee has 11 listed animal shelters and rescue organizations, in Milwaukee County. The mix is fairly even between rescue organizations and animal shelters. West Allis and New Berlin, both within about 13 miles, have listings of their own. Somewhere on this list is a Milwaukee dog or cat who would much rather be at your place.

    Milwaukee has 11 listed at the moment, and they are shown above with the ones that have photos first. Open any of them for the full address, contact details and opening hours.

    A mix of both, and the difference is worth knowing before you set out. A rescue usually places animals from a network of foster homes rather than from premises you can walk into, so you generally arrange a meeting first. A shelter or humane society more often has a facility you can visit during opening hours.

    The Milwaukee listings all fall in Milwaukee County, which is worth knowing if you are checking whether a shelter takes animals from your area.

    If nothing here suits, West Allis, New Berlin and Brookfield all have listings within about 14 miles. Each one links through from the sidebar.

    Most listings here carry a phone number, and most link to the organization's own website. Calling ahead is worth it — opening hours change, and rescues often work by appointment rather than keeping a building open.
