Planned gifts have long sustained the Wisconsin Humane Society, from the 1926 bequest that built Milwaukee’s first animal shelter to the expanded strategies used today. By integrating digital tools, hosting creative events like “Lattes & Legacies,” and stewarding legacy donors through Buster’s Legacy Society, WHS has streamlined estate gift management and built deeper donor trust—fueling a program that helps 13,000+ animals each year.
