News & Events

You can make a difference...Countryside Humane Society needs volunteer drivers willing to transport contained wildlife from our shelter to Wildlife Rehabilitation Centers located in Lake Geneva or Mukwonago. Orphaned wildlife babies such as rabbits, possums, and ducks, occasionally need transportation to a licensed wildlife center for immediate care.

Volunteers must be available during the day, be able to respond promptly when called, and be willing to transport these animals in their own vehicle.

For more information, please call Maggie at 262-554-6699.

1-24-2009: Surrender of Animals from Aquatic Oddities
A special thanks to everyone who helped collect and transport the animals out of the Aquatic Oddities. Many of these animals are in critical conditions. Reptile rescue and specialists that have training in certain species of animal are caring for the animals that were transported out of the pet store. All of the animals will receive medical attentions by a veterinarian this coming week.

• Meat – can be freezer burned

  • Dark leafy greens (collard, mustard, dandelion, kale)
  • Winter Squash
  • Yams/Sweet Potatoes

  • frozen legumes (beans)
  • Frozen okra
• Fruits are limited in their diet. (Berries, Apples, Pears, Bananas, Papaya, Mango, Kiwi)
• Gift cards to Petco, or a grocery store
• Financial donations – to go toward veterinarian bills
