About Journey Home Animal Control
Who We Are
Since 2021, Journey Home Animal Control has assisted more than 900 animals across three counties. While we are based in Whitewater, our work reaches neighboring communities including East Troy, Koshkonong, Milton, Palmyra, and Fort Atkinson. Our mission has always been to serve as a knowledgeable, reliable resource for community members seeking support with animal control services and animal welfare concerns.
Journey Home Animal Control is not an impound facility. Instead, we collaborate with local shelters and foster-based rescues to ensure animals are safely and comfortably cared for during the state-required holding period. We also offer a low-cost Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) program for feral and barn cats. To learn more about how the program works, please visit our TNR page.

June 2025 - We are so pleased to announce that we are officially a non-profit!

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.

Turning our ideas into action!
We’re committed to addressing animal welfare challenges with a proactive mindset. While many shelters and rescues are forced to respond reactively to issues like overpopulation and pet surrenders, our goal is to dig deeper—to uncover and address the root causes behind these problems. By targeting the source of each issue, we can reduce the number of animals surrendered, promote responsible pet ownership, and improve access to veterinary care for those who need it most.
Looking for A Building!
We'd love to have a stand alone building, or a building that does not have tenant space above it. We're looking for a building that ideally contains a small kitchen/area to clean dishes. We have the kennels and equipment, just need the space now to continue to grow our organization!
Building Connections
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.
