who are we? Angel’s Wish is an all-volunteer, nonprofit 501(c)3 charitable organization founded in 2000. mission statement Angel’s Wish is dedicated to reducing animal overpopulation, rehoming companion animals, and raising awareness of animal welfare issues in South Central Wisconsin. the animals we help In 2013, we took in 550 cats and 26 dogs from nearly 20 different counties in Wisconsin. The top three counties we took in animals from were Dane (190 animals), Rock (140), and Iowa (51). In 2013, we adopted out 476 cats and 34 dogs. In the last five years, we have helped over 2,500 animals find their new homes. why are we called angel’s wish? Lois Lawrence, a founding member of Angel’s Wish, once rescued a kitten from a construction site. Weak with starvation, dehydration, and a severe upper respiratory infection, neither veterinary treatment nor Lois’ love and care could save the kitten from the effects of that hot June day. Angel died that night in Lois’ arms. We believe that Angel’s wish would have been that no other animal be subjected to pain, suffering, abandonment or neglect.
