JR's Pups-N-Stuff is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, foster-based animal rescue based in southeastern Wisconsin dedicated to saving animals from high-kill shelters and life-threatening situations. While heavily focused on dogs, the rescue also provides adoption opportunities for cats and small animals through dedicated foster placement and thorough screening. Operating across facilities in Wauwatosa and Salem Lakes (Burlington), they provide complete medical care and loving temporary homes until pets find their forever families.
Jrs Pups-n-stuff Incorporated is open Monday-Friday 10:00 am - 7:00 pm (Phone/Email Only).
