A HUGE thank you to everyone who came out and made our very first carnival such a success. From our amazing vendors and dedicated volunteers to every supporter who attended, donated, shopped, played games, and cheered us on… we couldn’t have done it without you.

Seeing our community come together to support rescue animals was truly special, and we hope you had as much fun as we did! Thank you for helping us make so many wonderful memories and for being part of this exciting milestone. 💚

We’re already looking forward to doing it all again next year. See you then! 🐶🐶🐶

💦 Time to dunk some humans to raise money for George! 💦 George, formally known as Sundae, has been in foster care with us for a few weeks now. He needed a new name that fits his personality perfectly! 🐾

George has an ulcerated mass on his eyelid that needs surgical removal, along with another large tumor on his chest. While he is under anesthesia, we’d also love to give this handsome senior a much-needed dental cleaning so he can finally say goodbye to that stinky old man breath. 💚

Our goal is to raise $1,500 to cover George's surgery and medical expenses. Senior dogs are so often overlooked, but they deserve comfort, love, and quality care just as much as any puppy. We want George’s next chapter to be safe, pain-free, and full of love.

We have set up a dunk tank help raise money for George's surgery at our Carnival this SATURDAY! ALL proceeds from the dunk tank will go directly to George's medical expenses. Five dollars will get you two balls to throw and ten dollars will get you five balls to throw. Tickets for the dunk tank can be purchased at the Jack's Playground booth at the carnival. We accept Cash, Venmo, and PayPal. 💸

🎶 Local band Cripes! front man Zacke Lyons is hopping in the dunk tank from Noon until 2pm. Don't let us down, Milwaukee! This is your time to put this tall drink on ice! 💦 We know you want to!

💚 After that, Jack's Playground board members and foster parents will take turns in the dunk tank from 2 to 4pm. A great opportunity to show how much you love us by sending us into the cold water! 💦

We can't wait to see you at Jack's Carnival this SATURDAY (June 6th)!

✨ Meet Sabrina! ✨

We’re pretty sure Sabrina’s ears are growing faster than the rest of her! Every day they get a little bigger, her fur gets a little scruffier, and her personality gets even cuter. 🥰 Rumor has it she’s a hound-dog-doodle mix, and honestly, we believe it!

This adorable little lady is spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, and officially ready to find her forever family. Sabrina loves other dogs, gets along great with cats, and hasn’t met a human she doesn’t adore. She’s sweet, social, and always ready to make a new friend.

Come meet Sabrina at Jack’s Carnival this Saturday. You just might fall in love and take home your new best friend!

💕 DOUBLE THE LOVE 💕

Meet Magnolia and Melody, two best friends who are hoping to find a forever home together! 🥹

🌸 Magnolia is a 9-week-old Chihuahua mix puppy with a big personality packed into a tiny body. She's playful, affectionate, and always ready for an adventure.

🎵 Melody is a 6-month-old kitten who is just as sweet as her name. As a young kitten, she suffered an injury that left one of her eyes looking a little different. The good news? She's been examined by a veterinarian, the injury is completely healed, and it doesn't bother her at all! If anything, her adorable permanent wink gives her even more character. 😉

These two have formed the sweetest bond and spend their days playing, cuddling, and keeping each other company. Because they are such close friends, we would love to see them adopted together.

If you've been thinking about adding a little extra love, laughter, and cuteness to your home, Magnolia and Melody might be the perfect pair. 🩷

Interested in adopting this dynamic duo? Send us a message or fill out an adoption application today!
