Adopt 4 Paws from HAWS - Like our own "Bella" of the Ball!

This week's featured adoptable pet at HAWS is a sweet yellow Lab named Bella - who's ready for the ball! (The tennis ball, that is!)

Need a date for New Year’s Eve?  Or maybe a reason to stay home and snuggle on the couch?  At HAWS, we’ve got an idea…

Meet Bella, a sweet 2-year-old Lab!

Bella came to HAWS a short while ago when her previous home couldn’t take her along when they moved.  She is enjoying her time with our staff, as you can see, but her resolution is to be in a great new home for 2013.


This little girl (she’s not the big, bulky lab you might be used to) is a bit shy at first, but loves attention and treats.  She doesn’t always like other dogs so a meet’n’greet with another canine sibling is a must, and Bella definitely is NOT a cat fan.  Her new family will need to be older as she startles easily around younger kids.

Bella and a bunch of her adoptable pals, like Jack Frost, Jingle, Tiny Tim and Packer are available for viewing at HAWS today!  Stop by and see if one of these pups is in your future – or if one of our many cats, rabbits or other small animals will make your New Year bright.

HAWS Holiday Hours:
HAWS is open for normal viewing, adoption and receiving from Wednesday, December 26 through Sunday, December 30.  On New Year’s Eve we are open for receiving-only, from 9am – 3pm, and HAWS is closed on New Year’s Day.  But, if you need help when we’re closed, there is always someone on 24-hour call to assist you!

By the way – you still have a few days to take advantage of Nachos Navidad for HAWS at Taco John’s, 317 N. Grand Ave. in Waukesha!  Satisfy your nacho craving and help HAWS, too, with 25 cents from each order donated to our shelter.  Feliz Navidad and Feliz Ano Nuevo!

Dawn: Can you tell me about a block or location where it's happening? We might be able to work on aRead More story this week on Patch.

Our spruce trees have been dying as well. Very slowly. This is on upper Coventry lane just acrossRead More from the walkway to Meadowbrook school.

We lost bushes also. I assumed it was from last summer's drought. We're located near Hy59 andRead More Sunset. I noticed dead trees at Prairie View and Sunset also.

I agree that the folks at this Kwik Trip are great at assisting disabled people like myself but IRead More disagree that all Kwik Trips are helpful. There is a law that all gas stations are to assist you if you have disabled plates or a hanging placard if you press the help or disabled key on the pump. If there is no key (and I think all must have them by a certain date) then you are to honk horn twice and if there are at least 2 employees on duty, they are to assist. The K/T on St. Paul is useless. I've waited there, watching at least 3 employees mill around the counter with 1 or 2 customers and ingnore me. The Grandview station same but I haven't tried them in a few months. The worst station for that is whatever the one on St. Paul and Prarie is. I pulled in to see a female worker standing on side of building smoking. When she went in she was greeted by a male worker and I was ignored by both. I'd like to do a survey on how helpful each gas station is to the disabled. Kudos to Fleetfoot Kwik Trip! Whatever they got they should share with their brethren. I would rather give my $ to K/T because they are WI based and they donate regularly to the Salvation Army

I am fine with this service--its great. However being handicapped does not mean employees need toRead More give up their breaks or other customers need to let you cut in line in front of their service needs.

Will these need water? Because the Garden Center at Target has great deals on "no water"Read More tomato plants, which would surely save me some much needed General Assistance money.

According to a recent episode of Judge Judy, tomatoes can be both poisonous and deadly. When IRead More called the posted phone number asking for a simple answer to my many serious questions, and all they did was put me on hold -- repeatedly. I cannot recommend a company that refuses to stand behind its own product, much less pick up the phone.
Collin Richter, Waukesha North Badger Boys State Representative
BRM Management June 10, 2013 at 05:16 pm
Update! Collin was just selected as one of two STATE TROOPERS for Dodge County. He and otherRead More representatives were interviewed yesterday. Word is that he may be assisting Governor Scott Walker off the helicopter when he arrives at Badger Boys State later this week. Governor Walker is a past Badger Boys State representative.

Thanks for sharing and congrats Collin!
