Dogs for Adoption in Winnebago County, WI: 30 Dogs Looking for a Home

Tortilla is 37lbs and ready to go home! She is a little nervous, so we don't recommend small children for her. She would do better with older children that are respectful of boundaries. She seems to do well with male dogs and does not seem to mind cats. Tortilla's adoption fee is $200 + tax. She is fully vaccinated, spayed, microchipped, and heartworm negative. If you are interested in adopting this house noodle, you can fill out an application on our website!

Her first day in foster she was already comfortable with the other dogs. She is all about walks and being outside if the weather is nice. Where does see sleep? Well, we tried the kennel but she wasn't a fan. Instead Laverne used the doggie steps and found her way to foster mom's bed. She is so sweet and snuggly we don't mind at all.

We never have to ask where is Laverne because she is always right by your side or near your feet. She's doing great with potty training and she's a good little eater.

Let's talk about her cutest feature those ears. Man she tells stories with them. One time there both up. Sometimes one is high and one is low. So adorable!!!

Apply for Laverne today. You will be glad you did!!! She's the total package!!

Hershey came from a hoarding situation with approximately 30 other dogs. That means the world as most of us know it is still pretty new to him. He's missed out on a lot of the things other dogs take for granted. Basic training, confidence, socialization, and learning how to navigate life in a home are all things he'll need help with.

But here's what we're already seeing... Hershey WANTS to learn!

In the short time he's been with us, we've seen that spark. That curiosity. That little bit of drive that tells us he's ready to figure this whole world out. He just needs someone willing to show him the way.

Hershey isn't a finished product. He's a work in progress, and that's okay! He'll need patience, consistency, encouragement, and someone who understands that confidence isn't built overnight.

But imagine being the person who gets to watch him discover all the things he's been missing. The first time he realizes he can do something new. The first time he tackles something that once scared him. The first time he truly believes in himself.

That's the magic of giving a dog like Hershey a chance.

He has so much potential, and we cannot wait to see what he becomes with a little love, a lot of patience, and someone in his corner.

Could you be Hershey's person?

This girl loves the outdoors, playing with other dogs, and napping next to you. She is starting to learn all the usual puppy behaviors in her foster home and is already her foster mom’s shadow- especially in the kitchen:) She might be from Louisiana, but she is here to bring all the luck to the Brewers in the World Series ⚾️

This sweet girl came to us from Milwaukee. We don't know much about her past, but it appears she's recently had puppies and somehow found herself without a home.

Right now, we're working on putting some much-needed weight on her, which means extra meals, plenty of snacks, and all the love she can soak up!

Whatever her past looked like, we're determined to make sure her future is filled with everything she deserves.

She seems to do well with children and would not mind having someone to play with! Wednesday is approximately 40lbs and could stand to lose a few! We can't blame her for that; it's tough to stay away from the treats this time of year! We are not sure what her breed is, but she seems to be a black lab/terrier mix since she is on the smaller side! Wednesday is up to date on her shots, spayed, microchipped, and heartworm negative. Her adoption fee is $100 + tax. If you live in Portage County, a dog license will be issued at the time of adoption! Hurry and scoop this pocket-sized gal up!

Colt is up to date on his shots, neutered, microchipped, and heartworm negative. His adoption fee is $200 + tax. If you live in Portage County, a dog license will be issued to you at the time of adoption! If you think Colt would be the perfect teammate for your household, fill out an application to come and meet him at www.hspcwi.org/adopt!

Bramble is doing a great job learning all the puppy things, like loving her crate, making her best effort with potty training, and not chewing her leash. She is so sweet and just wants to be close to her people to learn all about the world around her.

Bramble is already spayed and ready for adoption. Don't miss another day without this sweet precious puppy!

He seems to do well with low energy dogs, and cats as well. He doesn't seem to mind children, but due to him being a little nervous, he may need an older child who knows how to interact with animals! Pepper will come with all of his "safety blanket" items. He is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and heartworm negative! His adoption fee is $150 + tax. If you live in Portage County, a license will be issued at the time of adoption! If you are interested in meeting Pepper, please fill out an application for him on our website at www.hspcwi.org/adopt. Pepper is looking forward to snuggling up on the couch with you!

This beautiful, blue-eyed girl came from a small shelter where opportunities to be seen were limited. She waited there for over two months before finally getting her chance to make the journey to Wisconsin and begin a new chapter. Now, we're determined to help her find the happy ending she's been waiting for!

Ruthie is a shy girl who is still learning that the world can be a wonderful place. She'll need continued socialization, patience, and understanding as she learns to feel safe and confident. Having another confident, friendly dog in her forever home could be a huge benefit, giving her a furry friend to follow, learn from, and look to for reassurance.

The best part? She's already beginning to come out of her shell! In the short time she's been with her foster family, Ruthie has started venturing out to observe all the hustle and bustle of her busy foster home. She's taking it all in at her own pace, and when the world gets a little overwhelming, you can find her favorite safe spot: the comfy recliner. ❤️

We know confidence won't happen overnight, but we're hopeful that with each passing day, Ruthie will continue to discover just how wonderful life can be. She may not be the girl who runs up to everyone right away, but sometimes the most rewarding friendships are the ones that take a little time to bloom.

Now, we're looking for someone special. Someone patient, kind, and willing to let Ruthie blossom at her own pace. Someone who understands that earning her trust is a journey worth taking and that beneath those gorgeous blue eyes is a girl with so much potential.

Ruthie has waited long enough for her chance. Could you be the person who finally shows her what forever love feels like?

Apply to adopt Ruthie today and help this sweet Louisiana girl write the next chapter of her happily ever after!

Bio: Harry is a very outgoing typical puppy who loves to romp around with squeaky toys and race around the house with puppy zoomies. He also LOVES to snuggle and be close to his humans big or small. He also brings toys back when thrown for him and loves treats. He does well in kennel once he settles and no accidents thus far. Just a happy go lucky pup

Biff is proof that the best things in life come with a wagging tail and a head full of curls. This handsome 8-year-old poodle mix is an absolute sweetheart who has quickly won hearts with his gentle personality and affectionate nature. His little tail seems to have only one speed: nonstop wagging!

Biff has been a perfect gentleman in his foster home. He's doing great in his kennel, knows how to use a doggy door, and loves nothing more than curling up beside his people for a cozy nap. He walks beautifully on a leash, enjoys car rides, and is always happy to tag along for whatever adventure the day brings.

As Biff settles in, he does wear a belly band, especially with several other dogs around, but so far he has been wonderfully well-mannered indoors. He's taking all these changes in stride and showing everyone what a sweet, easygoing companion he is.

Biff has been diagnosed with Cushing's disease, which will require ongoing medication management. He has a veterinary appointment on Monday to determine the best treatment plan moving forward. One side effect of Cushing's is an increased appetite, and Biff definitely loves his snacks! His future family will need to help manage his diet, but the good news is that he absolutely loves toys, making them a perfect reward and enrichment tool.

If you're looking for a loyal snuggle buddy, a great passenger for car rides, and a loving companion with a heart as big as his appetite, Biff might just be your perfect match. ❤️

Harper is working on learning a potty routine and spending time in her kennel. She would rather be following her people around so we will continue to make kennel time a positive experience.

If you're looking for a playful girl that loves to snuggle and give hugs, Harper may be your girl.

Tilly has been doing really good with the resident dogs and cats in her foster. She is a puppy and is learning the potty routine. She is also learning the kennel routine, she really isn't a fan of the kennel right now because she would rather be right by her person but we know she will get the kennel routine down.

If you are looking for a sweet little girl that just wants to be your shadow and give cuddles and kisses, this girl just might be the one for you.

Thankfully, these babies were given a fighting chance. They were bottle-fed and lovingly cared for until they were old enough to safely make the journey to Wisconsin, where their next chapter and forever families await.

Now, let's talk about Biscuit.

This boy is LOUD and PROUD! He's curious, adventurous, and always looking for the next bit of chaos he can create. And when that chaos catches up with him? Well, he's pretty quick to duck behind a sibling and let someone else take the blame. He's got a big personality packed into one adorable little body, and we have a feeling his future family is going to have their hands full in the very best way!

As with any puppy this young, Biscuit is not yet potty trained or fully kennel trained. His future family will need patience, consistency, and a good sense of humor as he learns all about being a good boy.

And a special shoutout to one of our wonderful veterinary partners Heritage Animal Hospital Greenville/Hortonville for giving this little guy his perfect name! ❤️

Biscuit is ready to find a family who will love him through all the puppy chaos, adventures, and everything in between!

The good news; they are so cute, smart, and will make you laugh. Puppy zoomies: HILAROUS. Bringing you stuff that they shouldn't have in their mouth: SOMEWHAT FUNNY. Playing with their toys appropriately: RARE OCCURANCE, but appreciated, nonetheless. They should be relatively easy to train, and puppies are great at learning. They are not so good at remembering, so they will need reminders! We are not sure how big they will get, but they should stay relatively small. They look like heeler/terrier mixes, but only a DNA test could tell. These girls have had their appropriate puppy vaccinations and are microchipped. Their adoption fee is $300. A portion of their adoption fee will be returned after they are spayed. The surgery will be done at HSPC at no cost to the adopter! If you are interested in meeting/adopting one of the puppies, please fill out a dog adoption application on our website www.hspcwi.org. The approved adopters will be notified for an appointment and will be able to choose a puppy best fitting for their home during their visit. We cannot hold puppies, so get your applications in to meet these little land shark equivalents!

She’s a friendly, affectionate girl who absolutely
loves attention
. She’s happiest when she’s getting pets, spending time with her people, and soaking up all the love she can get. She also does wonderfully with
other dogs and kids
, making her a great candidate for a family home.

After everything she’s been through, she hasn’t let it change her sweet spirit. All she needs now is someone to give her the second chance she’s been waiting for.

If you’re looking for a loving, happy companion who will be grateful for every bit of affection, she may be your girl.
Come meet her and give her the forever home she deserves!

Spice is an approximately 9-month-old petite Husky mix with breathtaking eyes & the most beautiful, gentle spirit. She can be a little shy at first, but once she decides you’re safe, congratulations… you’ve officially gained a shadow for life!

Spice isn’t simply a Velcro dog!

She’s a full-blown SUPERGLUE DOG who wants to be as close to her people as physically possible!!!

Even with all that devotion, she’s doing wonderfully in her kennel while her foster family is away!

Occasionally, she’ll sing the song of her Husky people to briefly express her disapproval, but her dramatic protest lasts less than a minute & doesn’t even happen every time. She just needs her objection formally noted before settling in

Spice is incredibly sweet & submissive with other dogs. She does the most precious little crawl toward them as if to say, “I promise I’m safe & friendly!” Once she knows everyone is comfortable, she absolutely loves to play!

She’s still young & working on potty training, so she’ll need a patient family willing to continue helping her learn. In return, Spice will give you endless snuggles, unwavering devotion & more love than her petite little body should be able to hold.

Forget the latte… this is the Spice everyone needs this season

Could Spice be the missing ingredient in your family? Apply to meet her through Our Pack Animal Rescue Inc & please share so her forever people can find her!

He is rebelling against the work load he gave himself by requesting a different food each meal. In a lower stress environment, we are hopeful that Blue can get back on the correct diet to help him live his best life. As mentioned before, Blue has a full-time position as Presley's emotional support. Presley has requested that Blue keeps his job so they will need to go to a home together. Blue is really only looking for someone to pet his butt and let him sit right on top of them. They may do well with teenagers or older respectful children. Blue and Presley's adoption fee will be $100 for the pair. Blue is neutered, current on vaccines, micro chipped and heart worm negative. If you are interested in meeting/adopting Blue and Presley please submit a dog application on our website www.hspcwi.org. The approved adopter will be contacted within three business days for an appointment to meet him. If all goes well, Blue and Presley can go home the same day. All dog adoptions come with a leash, collar, toys and 3 days of food. The adopter is given copies of all medical records. If the adopter is a resident of Portage County a dog license will be issued at the time of adoption.

He can be shy at first, but he comes out of his shell when he is with Blue (and with treats). Presley and Blue keep each other busy and out of your hair when you are trying to have time to yourself. You will have to listen to them play though, because they want you to watch them wrestle instead of the tv series you've been binging. They are the best of friends and cannot be separated. They may do well with teenagers or older children who understand boundaries. Presley is approximately 3 years old. Blue and Presley's adoption fee will be $100 for the pair.

Remember this adorable little red pup from our Rudolph/reindeer litter back in December 2025? Meet Yukon Cornelius! He was the only red pup in the litter, which made him pretty unforgettable. He also came with a healthy dose of puppy sass and a personality all his own.

Fast forward about 8 months, and Yukon is now a 10-month-old, 40-ish-pound pup who has found his way back to OPARI and is starting over in his search for his forever family.

Yukon was returned to us because of food aggression. And while we absolutely take any concerns about aggression seriously, we also believe in giving dogs the opportunity to decompress, learn, be evaluated in a new environment, and be set up for success.
So naturally… where did Yukon land?

A foster home with SEVEN other dogs.

Yep. Seven. Dogs of different ages, sizes and personalities.

And guess what?

Yukon has been doing really, really well.
He has butted heads with one of the dogs over bones, but he's been easily corrected and has had no issues with the other six. He's been allowed to enjoy toys, treats and bones with his furry foster siblings under supervision. Meals are fed separately—which, let's be honest, is pretty standard practice in a multi-dog foster home anyway.

He's also absolutely loving the kids in his foster home and apparently has forgotten to inform his brain that he's no longer a tiny puppy because he still firmly believes he's a lap dog.

In fact, Yukon has been surprisingly timid, nervous and even submissive at times as he's settled into his new environment.

He's snuggly with his people, gets the evening puppy zoomies before bedtime, kennels like a champ, and is doing wonderfully with his potty routine.

Basically… the Yukon we remember is still in there. He's just a little bigger, a little older, and probably experienced some things along the way.

And there is one more VERY important part of Yukon's story that we want to talk about.
VETTING AND MONTHLY PREVENTION MATTER.
We know some people think rescues are "too picky" when we ask about current vaccines and consistent parasite prevention for existing pets. We aren't trying to be difficult. We're trying to protect the animals.

Preventing a preventable illness is almost always better—and kinder—than treating it after the fact. Being sick can also mean pain, discomfort and stress, and yes… even a normally happy dog can be pretty cranky when he doesn't feel good.
Unfortunately, Yukon came back to us not current on his vaccines or preventatives and immediately tested positive for Lyme disease. Thankfully, he isn't currently showing symptoms and is receiving treatment.

So please, for the love of your pets, keep those vaccines and monthly preventatives current. ❤️

As for Yukon?
He's ready to put the past behind him.
He's ready to learn.
He's ready to snuggle.
He's ready to zoom.
He's ready to be someone's ridiculously adorable, occasionally goofy, 40-pound lap dog.

Most importantly, he's ready for his forever family.
We know food guarding is something that needs to be taken seriously, and any adopter will need to be committed to continuing appropriate management and training. But we also believe dogs deserve the chance to show us who they are—not just the worst thing that has ever happened.
And Yukon is showing us that he's a pretty darn good boy. ❤️
Let's find this former Christmas puppy the forever home he's been waiting for.
Yukon Cornelius is ready for his next chapter. Who wants to be part of it? ❤️

Meet an

Calvin has no trouble navigating a couple stairs, flying across the yard, or getting onto lower furniture. As is the need for limb removal wasn’t enough for a young dog to endure, he also underwent cherry eye repair at the same time. Now, its just soulful and healthy brown eyes staring at you adoringly!

While he is a doggy pal loving sweet snuggle bug, Calvin also comes with his quirks.

He can be very stubborn and is set in his ways for a youngster.

Calvin walks well on a leash, but if theres someone he wants to meet and you keep try to keep strolling- not happening. He’ll give a good screech and plant his feet, and you will be making that person’s acquaintance!

He is also not a fan of other dogs near him when he is ready to crash. He enjoys resting/sleeping in a kennel and will get grumpy with any dogs who bug him while he is snuggled in on the furniture. (Who could blame him?!)

Once he’s had his rest, he is ready to romp around with doggy pals and play with toys once again!

Calvin doesn’t bark often- but will if he is getting amped with another dog. If you share a wall with neighbors this is something to keep in mind if he wouldn’t be a solo dog.

Calvin loves car rides and does well going to work with foster mom. He is great at meeting new people, but is mouthy when he gets super excited. He is working hard on more polite play, but it may be best if he did not live with young children at this time.

Calvin doesn’t much like nail trims, but will pose we like a pro for every photo your heart desires, and is top notch company!

We adopted
Ruthie
from the Chicago Anti-Cruelty Society 3 years ago as a tiny puppy, one of 12 in a litter left under a bridge. Our youngest dog has been bugging
Ruthie
for fun and play, which she loves for a while -- but eventually she asserts herself as alpha and has bitten her dog sibling a few times. She's had no problems with our other, more submissive dog. But since we also have little kids we're concerned.

Heartbroken, we know she'd be happier in a home without all our chaos -- other dogs, little kids, cats, etc. -- a solo dog with an active, loving family. Whoever adopts her will be very lucky indeed.

If interested in adopting Ruthie, please email Nell at
