Fetch Wisconsin is an entirely volunteer-run rescue dedicated to the rehoming and rehabilitation of at-risk dogs. 🐾
All of our dogs are located in foster homes that are in, or within 2 hours of, Madison, WI (no shelter). We strive to understand the best possible environment for them to succeed in. Behavior and medical issues are addressed and worked on while in foster care. Foster homes have a limit of two dogs to ensure environments are low-stress and individualized attention is given to each dog. Second, we provide thorough vetting to ensure that we are adopting out healthy dogs. Sometimes other rescues will do basic vaccinations and stop there. We'll do dental work, surgeries, blood work, and more so that we send home a pup just needing basic maintenance over time. Third, we're completely transparent about the type of dog you are going to get. These pups are not perfect, but we'll let you know what their issues are and how to work on those. For some of our more challenging dogs, we've sent behaviorists to an adopter's door at our own cost. For less severe cases, our resident trainer will give adopters a call and help them work out a training plan to get things back on track. Lastly, we try to solve the local problem before expanding our efforts to out of state dogs. If there are breeds we can rescue locally, we start there. If there aren't, we'll expand to our neighboring states to help with their shelter overcrowding. Adopting through Fetch actually makes a difference in the local community and Wisconsin.

Athena has left behind her days of raising puppy litters and is now searching for a person who will value her for her resilient, gentle, and sweet nature πŸ’š

She is a 5 year old, 35 pound (ideal weight) Kelpie mix. She is shy but good with people, and she would do best with another dog in her home. She can free roam but also loves her crate.

Athena has a lot of anxiety around new environments and loud noises, so she is looking for a quiet home & neighborhood with predictable situations. She walks well on leash and would be wonderful for someone who prefers staying home. She is fine with guests; it’s just chaotic environments that scare her.

Please help us find Athena a quiet home where she can blossom and receive the love she desperately seeks & deserves!!
**Looking for a new foster or an adopter!

Did you know November is ~adopt a senior pet~ month?? Buddy is hoping that means he'll get some good luck and finally find his forever family!

About Buddy πŸ’šπŸ’š
βœ… 11 years old
βœ… almost no teeth
βœ… one or two lil health issues
βœ… a bit curmudgeonly

Buddy is basically the quintessential senior dog! If you're looking for a senior pup that loves other dogs, Buddy could be your perfect fit. He is great in his crate and house trained, and really enjoys going for walks. He can be a bit skeptical of strangers, so he's looking for a home that is willing to advocate for him. We don't think that's too much to ask for this cutie!!
