Spring Fever Hits HAWS
HAWS' April is full of great spring activities, including our brand-new "Kitten College!"
Spring fever has hit HAWS, the Humane Animal Welfare Society of
Waukesha County, with great upcoming events, contests…and a continued
“Challenge!”
“Give Pets a Home-Field Advantage” through HAWS’ 30th Anniversary Pet Walkathon! Get a Team together, create a personal fundraising page – just be sure to join the fun on Saturday, May 4th at Sussex Village Park. 100% of Walk donations help the animals at the Waukesha shelter, so everyone can make a difference and save lives. Support HAWS on foot or online – all the Walkathon details are at hawspets.org.
There are 5 weeks to go in HAWS’ $10,000 Matching Gift Behavior Rehabilitation Challenge – now is the time to donate and any amount can help. HAWS’ Mod Squad saves lives and gives second chances to deserving dogs – 650 dogs and counting! Donate today through May 4th at hawspets.org, then
celebrate at the Walkathon!
“Sing to Save Lives” Jingle Contest videos are due April 30th. Grab that microphone, sing HAWS’ Jingle and win great prizes, including an appearance on Animal Advocate Television on WISN 12!

HAWS at Petlicious Dog Bakery & Pet Spa on Sunday April 14th. Summit
