St. Hubert's Animal Welfare Center - Foster Program
Our Mission
St. Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center is dedicated to the humane treatment of animals, fostering an environment where people respect all living creatures. We believe in and provide services that support the powerful human-animal bond, helping families and pets thrive together.
A History of Compassion
For more than 85 years, we have been committed to helping animals in need, regardless of their species, size, or temperament. Through our membership in the Humane Rescue Alliance, we leverage over 150 years of collective experience to serve as a national leader and local champion for animals in our communities.
Our Approach to Care
We treat every animal as an individual, emphasizing specialized care that meets their unique needs. Our work spans a wide range of services, including our renowned WayStation transport program, which moves animals from areas of overpopulation to places of opportunity. We are proud to be a community-based organization that provides medical support, pet food banks, and behavior training to keep families together.
Your Adoption Journey
We believe finding your new best friend should be a pleasant and joyful experience. Our friendly adoption counselors are here to chat about your preferences, helping you find a perfect, enduring match that fits your lifestyle. When you adopt from St. Hubert’s, you aren’t just getting a pet; you are joining our family, with access to ongoing guidance and resources as your new companion transitions into their home.
Join Our Community
Ready to meet your new companion? We invite you to browse our adoptable pets online or visit our Madison center for a meet-and-greet—no appointment is necessary. We look forward to helping you find your new best friend today.
