More than 100 pets head to Wisconsin to find 'fur-ever' homes
WISCONSIN — Dozens of doggone lucky pets in need are heading to Wisconsin to find fur-ever families.
About 110 cats and dogs will fly to Wisconsin on Tuesday, Feb. 25. These adoptable pets are coming from overcrowded southern shelters in Birmingham, Alabama, and Columbus, Georgia.
“Transport is a lifeline to at-risk adoptable pets as shelters throughout the nation struggle with overcrowding,” said Cathy Bissell of the BISSELL Pet Foundation. “BISSELL Pet Foundation is incredibly grateful for our shelter partners who have opened their doors to give these deserving pets a second chance.”
BISSELL Pet Foundation is coordinating and funding the animals’ transportation.
The pets will be taken in by 10 Wisconsin shelters and rescues, including:
- Dane County Humane Society
- Adams County Humane Society
- Angel’s Wish Pet Adoption and Resource Center
- Elmbrook Humane Society
- Eau Claire Community Humane Association
- Green County Humane Society
- Humane Animal Welfare Society
- Humane Society of Sheboygan County
- Humane Society of Southern Wisconsin
- Marshfield Area Pet Shelter
“Shelters and rescues across the county are facing overcrowding. Thanks to our animal-loving community, DCHS is able to help these pets find new beginnings in Wisconsin,” said Amy Good, director of development and marketing at Dane County Humane Society. “By working collaboratively with BISSELL Pet Foundation and these other Wisconsin organizations, we are able to help even more animals together.”
Every animal coming to Wisconsin is looking for a fur-ever family and most will be available for adoption in the coming days. All animals have been examined by a veterinarian. They’ve also been vaccinated and have health certificates.

Time to ‘fall back’ means it’s also time to check those smoke alarms
The same time to set your clocks back for daylight saving time is a great time to assure your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors are in order.
Sunny spring evenings are just a few days away.
This weekend, clocks will “spring forward” as Milwaukee switches to daylight saving time for spring and summer.
That means you lose an hour of sleep the night before, but the city gains an extra hour of light in the evenings starting March 8, when the sun will set at 6:49 p.m., according to timeanddate.com.
The seasonal change often reignites debates about whether daylight saving time should exist at all. Though the time adjustment allows for more daylight during spring and summer evenings, many experts have argued it disturbs the body’s circadian rhythms and has other health drawbacks.
Here’s what to know as daylight saving time approaches.
When does daylight saving time start?
Daylight saving time will resume on Sunday, March 8. Clocks will jump forward one hour between 2 and 3 a.m., meaning there will be more light in the evening and less light in the morning.
When does daylight saving time end?
Daylight saving time will end for the season on Sunday, Nov. 1, when clocks are turned back an hour at 2 a.m.
What is daylight saving time?
Between March and November, Wisconsin residents set their clocks forward by an hour to gain more daylight in the evenings. During the other four months of the year, the clocks fall back to allow for more daylight in the mornings.
Daylight saving time was enacted during World War I in an attempt to save on fuel costs by adding an extra hour of sunlight to the day. While it’s a common misconception, its creation had nothing to do with allowing farmers to work longer hours, and the agriculture industry actually “fervently opposed” the measure, according to the Library of Congress.
When is the first 7 p.m. sunset of 2026 in Milwaukee?
Milwaukee will get its first 7 p.m. sunset of the year on Tuesday, March 17, according to timeanddate.com.
That day, the sun will rise at 7 a.m. that day and set at 7 p.m.
Why do some people want to end daylight saving time?
In the decades since daylight saving time was enacted, politicians, sleep experts and farmers have all pushed to change the practice, either by eliminating daylight saving time or making it permanent year-round.
In 2020, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine said the United States should “eliminate seasonal time changes in favor of a national, fixed, year-round time.” Daylight saving time disrupts the circadian rhythms of the human body, and the abrupt time change has been linked to higher risk of mood disorders and heart diseases, according to the organization.
The risk of vehicle crashes also increases each spring when drivers are especially sleep deprived after losing an hour of rest, the academy said.
As of October 2025, 19 states have enacted legislation to observe daylight saving time year-round, if Congress were to allow such a change, and two states and several territories observe permanent standard time year-round, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
Over the years, some Wisconsin lawmakers have also drafted legislation to end daylight saving time, but those efforts have stalled.
