Since 2021, Journey Home Animal Control has helped over 700 animals across three counties. Even though we are located in Whitewater, we have helped in surrounding communities such as East Troy, Koshkonong, Milton, Palmyra, and Fort Atkinson. Our mission has always been to be a well-educated, dependable resource for community members to reach out to regarding animal control services and animal welfare concerns.
Journey Home Animal Control is not an impound facility. Instead, we partner up with local shelters and rescues to help ensure animals are housed comfortably during the state required holding time. In addition, we offer a low-cost Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) program for both feral cats and barn cats. For more information on how that works, please visit the TNR page. We're also working on obtaining our 503(c) non-profit status and hope to be done with that by April-May 2025!
We like being our own independent, 3rd party organization! While we may share similar interests and a love for animals with nearby rescues, we have our own goals and approach to animal welfare. Our focus is always on providing TNR support, helping reunite lost pets, and doing as much community outreach as possible.
We'd love to have a stand alone building, or a building that does not have tenant space above it. We're looking for 500-1000 square feet with a small kitchen/area to clean dishes. We have the kennels, just need the space now!
We are in this together!
Even if we may have different approaches, we can all agree that we're doing what we think is best for the animal. We couldn't do any of this without the support of rescues and shelters, and it's the dream to make a positive, lasting impact on the community.

Our primary focus is providing services for domesticated animals, such as dogs and cats.
On occasion, we are asked about services for wildlife. Before we get involved, Journey Home Animal Control will require the appropriate wildlife rehab centers in Southeastern Wisconsin to be contacted first. If deemed necessary, and only under the direction of the rehab centers, we will offer help trapping and transporting of wildlife. Depending on location of the animal or the type of animal, this could be Fellow Mortals in Lake Geneva, Dane County Humane Society in Madison, or Wildlife In Need in Oconomowoc.
