Want a furry companion? Here's an offer that's hard to turn down.
As the owner of an adorable 15-year-old cat, carefully selected five years ago from an abundance of felines sheltered by the Ozaukee Humane Society, I was touched to see that the Ozaukee Humane Society and the Wisconsin Humane Society have decided to push getting homes for mature animals. They have made November "Adopt a Senior Animal Month." Read more...

Lights Out for the Birds!
Save money, save energy, help the environment and gain valuable public relations opportunities for your company, all while saving migratory birds - join WIngs!

Bird watching is the second fastest-growing hobby in America. In fact, about one-third of U.S. households feed birds in their yard. That translates into spending a total of about $3 billion on related supplies each year.  However, the bird population is declining because it is estimated that between 100 million and one billion migratory birds die annually as a result of window collisions in North America!

A quiet social life; Caroline Krider's volunteer work helps rabbits find homes
As vice president and senior lender at U.S. Bank in Milwaukee, Caroline Krider's workweek is loaded with meetings with clients representing Wisconsin's biggest companies.

But come Saturday mornings, Krider leaves her Washington Highlands home in Wauwatosa to work a shift at the Wisconsin Humane Society, 4500 W. Wisconsin Ave., Milwaukee, where she is a "rabbit socializer." Read more...

Build a bird-friendly Wisconsin
We've all heard it before: that heartbreaking "thud" of a bird hitting our window. Did you know it is estimated this happens somewhere between 100 million and one billion times annually in the United States ? In an attempt to help save birds, the Wisconsin Humane Society has launched WIngs: Wisconsin Night Guardians for Songbirds because bird window collisions are preventable!

Doggie rescue
Milwaukee's Wisconsin Humane Society wildlife-rescue volunteer Chuck Meyer, a registered nurse who lives in Glendale, chokes up when asked to retell the story of how he rescued two dogs in New Orleans, in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

"It's a lovely story about two very deserving dogs who I don't think ever really had a home. It's a Disney story, it really is," he says. Read more...

Lucky dog
JD the dog can't describe how he got out of an animal shelter in Kentucky, but he has landed on his feet in Glendale.

JD, now the cherished pet of Chris and Dennis Blankenburg, was left last year at a shelter in Georgetown, Ky. -- a region with an oversupply of adoptable dogs. But through a local program called Rescue Waggin' that works with the Wisconsin Humane Society, he got a new lease on life and a home. Read more...

Making a Difference: 3 Women Who Care

Since the inaugural issue of Wisconsin Woman Magazine nearly six years ago, we've celebrated the accomplishments of hundreds of Southeastern Wisconsin women. The spotlight has been on those practicing law, those in the field of entertainment, corporate executives, educators and outstanding leaders in the community. Wisconsin Woman features women in medical practices, in religious service, many writers, artists and politicians as well as women who have made noteworthy achievements in specialized fields.

This year we continue our mission to honor women, in particular those who remain steadfast in the belief that their work does make a difference in the community. We salute them knowing that, because of their dedication, the world becomes a better place in which to live. Each one demonstrates that there are bountiful fruits to be had because of their efforts to reach out beyond their immediate boundaries. Look for future profiles, quarterly, in Today's Wisconsin Woman. Read more...
