4worldlovers: Milwaukee Area Domestic Animal Control Commission (MADACC) will only be accepting sick and injured stray cats in need of immediate medical attention from Thursday, August 31 through close of business Friday, September 8, 2023, to manage the health of the cats in their care. Due to the unprecedented intake of both cats and dogs that MADACC has been experiencing for several months the cases of feline panleukopenia in their cat population have increased. Feline panleukopenia is a disease caused by the feline parvovirus. If you find a healthy stray, click here for information on what to do.


Every year at this time of year shelters see an uptick in cases of Canine Parvo and Feline Panleuk. For the cost of a very inexpensive vaccine, you can not only protect your pet and potentially save their lives if they are exposed, but save thousands to treat the symptoms of these diseases as there is no cure. Click on the photos for more information about these diseases and why preventative vaccines are critical to your pet. Remember, MADACC offers low-cost vaccines by appointment – call us today to set one up! 414-649-8640

The Pabst Theater Group is launching the “Pabst for Paws” fundraiser to benefit Milwaukee Area Domestic Animal Control Commission (MADACC) and their efforts to create a new outdoor exercise and play area for stray, unwanted, abandoned, mistreated, and injured dogs. The new outdoor space, now in its final phase of construction, will provide dogs with a private, year-round retreat from shelter stress with opportunities for exploratory learning and mental stimulation.

In continued celebration of the new Pabst Theater blade sign, we’re selling commemorative, limited edition blade sign t-shirts via Brew City, and those that wish to donate more than the t-shirt price, or who don’t wish to purchase a t-shirt but would like to donate to the cause, can do so via this GoFundMe to help MADACC reach their goal of $50,000.

MADACC is FULL! We need adopters and fosters for dogs ASAP! MADACC does not take owner surrenders and if you need to surrender a pet, please contact Wisconsin Humane Society to make an appointment to do so, or contact another rescue that might be able to help. We need everyone to put visible ID on their dog’s collar and make sure their microchip is updated so we can bring animals straight home rather than impound. Please help us weather this storm which looks like it will continue through the end of the year.

MADACC, Friends of MADACC and Lost Dogs of Wisconsin are teaming up to help increase the odds of getting your pet back home safely, and if possible, without a trip to MADACC! Learn more about programs available to Milwaukee County Pet Owners by clicking here!
