How PawAlarm helps in Milwaukee
This circle is who sees the alert: people who live, walk and drive around the last-seen spot in Milwaukee — not your friends list. A neighbour two streets over, or someone passing through from the next town, is the person most likely to notice your dog.

Frequently asked questions
How does PawAlarm help if my dog goes missing in Milwaukee?
PawAlarm turns your missing-pet report into a search alert on Facebook and Instagram. It is shown to the people who live and get around near the spot where your dog was last seen – within 1 mi of Milwaukee, that's about 16,000 people. The alert goes live within 60 minutes. Anyone who spots your dog reports the sighting on your search page, and you get it by email straight away.
What should I do first when my dog goes missing?
Note the last-seen place and time, prepare a clear photo, and contact local animal services, shelters and vets. Ask people to report sightings with a location and time, so you can follow up on useful information.

Where is the nearest animal shelter to Milwaukee?
For Milwaukee, we list Wisconsin Humane Society - Milwaukee Campus. Address: 4500 W Wisconsin Ave, Milwaukee, WI 53208. Phone: 414-264-6257. Call before you go and ask about animals brought in recently.
I found a stray dog or cat in Milwaukee. Where must it go, and can I keep it?
In Milwaukee County only MADACC may carry out the legal stray hold, and it is the official stray hold facility for all county municipalities. Good Samaritans, rescues and other shelters may not keep a stray for the hold period, and the Wisconsin Humane Society passes strays it receives on to MADACC. Taking the animal in only to post it online can leave the owner unable to find it.

How long is the stray hold at MADACC in Milwaukee?
MADACC holds strays for a 5-day legal stray hold, and a finder who brought the animal in is considered first for adoption if no owner claims it. MADACC cannot keep an animal past the legal hold unless arrangements are made in advance, so call (414) 649-8640 right away if you need more time. It also advises owners to look in person every 48 hours.
