Winston’s Wishes is a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit organization in Wisconsin focused on helping our local Milwaukee pups in need find their happily ever after through our growing Foster Program and Sanctuary. In 2014 our founder, Jake, adopted his boy Winston and wanted to do more to help local pups just like him. After three years of putting together fundraising events to donate back to other animal welfare organizations, and with the help of our Vice President and Co-Founder, Caitie, we began fundraising for ourselves with a goal of building a rescue sanctuary. In September of 2019, after fundraising for two years, we welcomed our very first MADACC transfer to the sanctuary, a 13 year old senior pittie we named Gage. Although he was only with us for two short years, he ended up changing our lives forever.

Since then, we’ve transferred over 40 amazing pups to the sanctuary and into wonderful foster homes. Our mission is about quality over quantity. We focus on dogs that are shutting down in the shelter environment, dogs that need additional medical care, and seniors. We allow plenty of decompression time and provide the best medical care and any necessary behavioral training to ensure they are set up for success.

We are a proud MADACC transfer partner & proud member of AWARE (Alliance of Wisconsin Animal Rehoming Efforts).

We’ve met so many incredible people over the years and have gained an amazing amount of support. Both of which we are beyond grateful for. Together, we can continue to help our local homeless animals 💜
