A Dog Named Foster Is Ready for His Forever Home
If you’ve been thinking about dog adoption in Kenosha, Foster, the Kenosha.com Pet of the Week, might be exactly who you’ve been waiting for. This handsome 3-year-old black dog is currently available at the Wisconsin Humane Society Kenosha Campus, and by all accounts, he’s a gentleman — a playful, energetic one with the kind of sweet expressions that tend to stop people in their tracks.
Foster weighs 48 pounds, which puts him in a solid medium-size range — big enough to keep up on adventures, compact enough to settle comfortably into a home. He’s already been neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, so the groundwork is done. He just needs the right family to walk through the door.
What You Need to Know About Foster
Foster is described as a playful boy with plenty of energy, making him a good match for someone who enjoys active time outdoors — walks, hikes, or just exploring Kenosha together. He’s ready to settle in and soak up attention from a family that’s ready to make room for him.\n\nHere’s a quick look at his details:
WHS adoption fees cover just a fraction of the actual cost of care — vaccinations, medical screening, and shelter care — for each animal. The $249 fee for Foster means he arrives at your home already set up for a healthy start.
How to Meet Foster
Foster is available for adoption in Kenosha at the Wisconsin Humane Society Kenosha Campus, located at 7811 60th Ave. in Kenosha.
Adoption hours: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday: 1 to 6 p.m. Closed Thursday and Sunday. Note: The Kenosha Campus is closed for all services on Saturday, July 4.

Other Dogs Are Waiting Too
Foster isn’t the only one hoping for a match at the WHS Kenosha Campus. Several other dogs are currently available, including Jax and Icarus (both 3 years old), Crypto (5 years), Maddy (7 years), Royalty (6 years), and Clark (11 months, currently in a Kenosha-area foster home). If Foster isn’t the right fit, one of them might be.
The Wisconsin Humane Society also welcomes volunteers and foster families. If adopting isn’t the right step right now, fostering gives a shelter dog a temporary home and a break from shelter life — and it makes a real difference. Learn more at wihumane.org/get-involved/foster.
Why Adopt Locally
The WHS Kenosha Campus has served Kenosha County for years, connecting local families with animals who need homes and providing resources — from vaccine clinics to dog training to a pet food pantry — that support pet owners across the community.
When you adopt from WHS Kenosha, you’re not just bringing home a dog. You’re supporting a local organization that reinvests in Kenosha County pets and the people who care for them.
Foster is waiting. Stop in any day the campus is open and introduce yourself — he’d love to meet you.
