Humane society

So I called his mom because I had his information on the letter.

Then I called the Humane Society and we worked with the Humane Society and we have, it's called our LRB, Legal Research Bureau in Springfield that helps us put the legislation together, make sure it's in statutes.

gave them all our ideas, put it together.

This young man actually came to Springfield to testify in committee on behalf of this bill.

Now it's all dog videos when I go to Facebook.

Every other video is a dog video from a You know, a place somewhere in the United States, you know, like 100 different places where they keep dogs, whether it's Humane Society, whether it's a pound, whether it's some sort of charity that takes care of dogs that no one else wants or a charity that takes care of a specific breed of dogs or a charity that takes care of dogs that are about to be destroyed at the pound and they ship them to this charity and saves their life, at least for a little while.

And sometimes they're videos from a foster home.

Yes, they have foster homes for dogs.

You are a representative.

Are you PR? What do you do for the Animal Humane Society?

Yeah, I'm the PR manager for Animal Humane Society.

I just started here last month.

Well, congratulations on the job.

It's fine.

So like, AKA, we'll talk to you off air about this, but please know that we appreciate you so much.

We love the Animal Humane Society.

But, of course, he got taken to jail, right? The biggest mystery, police didn't say what happened to the squirrel.

Now, the woman reportedly planned to surrender it to the Humane Society.

Does the Humane Society take squirrels? And it doesn't say whether this was a captured squirrel or Like from the backyard? Or if maybe this was a squirrel that this couple found as an infant squirrel, a baby squirrel, and nursed it and kept it as a pet? Doesn't say.

But that's an odd thing to fight over.

A squirrel.

It was a pet squirrel.

Okay.

And the Humane Society will usually not take squirrels, but they'll partner with wildlife rehabbers to care for injured or other types of animals.

We have operated for 25 years as a volunteer-based organization.

So how our shelter services work is we collaborate with domestic abuse intervention services in Dane County and the Dane County Humane Society.

So we kind of organize the services between the two to offer our shelter program.

And then our goal is to put the animals into a foster home.

We just did czar's promise this past month.

So going out and making sure that people are aware of the link between domestic violence and animal cruelty and why it is so important not only to offer shelter in this space, but also laws and policies and advancing protections for survivors and their animals so that we can keep everybody safe.

You said that back when you were in law school, you also volunteered with the Dane County Humane Society.

Is there a reason that our humane societies or ASPCAs can't directly involve themselves in domestic abuse cases?

conversations in front of QFC, if you will, with the troop is, hey, what are you going to do with all this money you're earning? And everyone has a plan.

So they all come, well, we're going to pay for camp next summer, or we're going to give it back to the Humane Society, or we're going to save it and go to Paris in three years.

We have a goal.

We have a plan, and we're doing it together.

So it's okay.

It was time.

But I get to look forward to maybe going to the Humane Society and getting a new dog next year.

That's exciting.

Her dog was in the minivan.

They took the dog to the Humane Society.

Okay.

The sheriff's office got a warrant for a blood draw and found Cox had a blood alcohol content that was over the legal limit.

Only at 11.45, an hour and 15 minutes later...

Cox called 911 several times because she wanted to retrieve her dog.

The same deputy went to the Humane Society to get the dog back.

And several minutes later, she pulled into the parking lot driving the same minivan.

this.

Yes, and we're also collaborating with the Pensacola Humane Society, so there will be puppy dogs.

So we're just trying to bring in the children and the families and that part of the community.

A foo-foo festival is really special to us.
