What they're saying:

"Right up through the end of the year, all donations to the Wisconsin Humane Society are going to be tripled," said Stacy Oatman, Wisconsin Humane Society Media Coordinator. "Our goal is $45,000 right now because that's what the match is. So we have generous friends that are donating matching dollar for dollar up to $45,000. So, if we can make that through the end of the year, that is going be our goal."

Oatman said all the money donated will go toward the greatest need at that time. That could be medical or behavioral support, emergency surges or help for the Pets for Life program or their food pantry.
