The Rescue Effect - Fee-Waived Adoption Event
2025-10-24 - 2025-10-25 | Humane Society of Jefferson County, W6127 Kiesling Rd, Jefferson, WI, 53549, United States
We’re teaming up with the ASPCA for The Rescue Effect, a nationwide movement to help more animals find loving homes! For two days only, all adoption fees will be waived for pets at the Humane Society of Jefferson County. While adoption fees are waived, donations are always welcome to help us continue caring for animals in need.
Adopting even one animal creates a ripple effect—freeing up space and resources so we can help even more animals in need. When we help one, we help many!
We’ll do our best to process same-day applications, but we can’t guarantee it, so we encourage you to submit your adoption application in advance for pre-approval. Please note that we will be unable to place holds on pets during this event, and this promotion does not apply to animals at our satellite adoption centers.
Come meet your new best friend and be part of the ripple effect!

Giving Tuesday - Triple Match!
2025-12-02 | Humane Society of Jefferson County, W6127 Kiesling Rd, Jefferson, WI, 53549, United States
This Giving Tuesday, your generosity goes three times as far to help animals in need! 🐾
On Tuesday, December 2nd, all donations made to the Humane Society of Jefferson County will be tripled, up to $5,000, thanks to a special Giving Tuesday match!
Here’s how it works:
💙 For every $1 donated,
• $1 goes to the fund you choose,
• $1 goes to our general fund, where it’s needed most, and
• $1 goes to our Community Cat Fund to help local cats in need.
That means your $10 becomes $30, your $50 becomes $150 — and together, we can turn $5,000 into $15,000 to help homeless pets!
To qualify for the match, donations must be made on Giving Tuesday, December 2nd.
📍 In person or by phone: 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM
