Humane Milwaukee Pet of the Week: Nala
We can't quite decide who is more in love with Nala: the humans who serve her or Nala herself! If there is one thing we can all agree on, it is that Nala knows exactly what she wants and it is nothing short of everything.

Humane Milwaukee pet of the week: Aaden
I'm often asked how or why I first got involved in animal welfare. While that is an interesting story and one I may share in the future, I am more interested in explaining why I've stayed and gradually increased my involvement.

National Cat Day
As the unofficial OnMilwaukee.com "cat person," I felt it was my duty to report on National Cat Day. Until I received a press release yesterday announcing Companion Animal Resource and Adoption Center's (CARAC) plans for celebration, I had never heard of such a thing.

Two curious kitties are better than one, trust me
Having one super aggressive and destructive cat, I assumed getting a second was a death wish. I was wrong.

Local shelter works to place harder-to-adopt stray dogs, cats
A visit to a local shelter can be a heartwarming experience. Puppies and kittens are in high demand, but what about the less adoptable dog and cats? That's where the Companion Animal Resource and Adoption Center comes in.

Companion Animal Resource Center Pet of the Week: Candace
This adorable, young, mixed breed dog can be a little shy when meeting new people, but she warms up quickly and uses her big brown eyes to get just about anything she wants.
