PAWS is a 501 c3 Non-Profit Animal Organization
run exclusively by volunteers. We serve Pierce and St. Croix counties of western Wisconsin.
Our purpose is to reduce the stray population and increase the need for healthy animal adoptions through spay/neuter programs, education, and promotion of respect for the less fortunate animals that share out lives.
Our Mission
To protect animals from cruelty, neglect, homelessness, and indifference.
Our Vision
To strengthen the bond between animals and people by building a community where all life is valued and respected.
Our Strategy
To educate people about the proper care and treatment of animals, the problem of pet over-population, and to raise publilc awareness of the plight of the homeless animals in our community.
To eliminate euthanasia as a solution to pet over-population through aggressive spay/neuter and placement programs.
To care for our community's homeless animals by providing food,
water, medical attention, shelter, and love until a permanent home can be found.
To connect our community and animals through public animal welfare programs.
To work collectively with others who support our mission.
Who We Are
Spay/Neuter Program
Provides people who would not otherwise have their pets altered with financial assistance for spay and neuter procedures.
Our Programs
Foster Family Program
We are foster-based. There is no shelter. We put lost, homeless pets in loving homes for safe shelter, care, rehabilitation, and love until a permanent home is found.
Our purpose is to reduce the stray population and increase the need for healthy animal adoptions through spay/neuter programs, education, and promotion of respect for the less fortunate animals that share out lives.
Adoption Program
An Adoption Application must be filled out completely and submitted to PAWS. No pet will be adopted without this application. Adoptions have to be approved by both PAWS and the pet's Foster Familiy.
Below is a great website with information on selecting the right pet for your family and even a dog and cat budget.
We provide educational programs to schools, libraries, and groups to teach children the proper care and treatment of animals. We also provide area nursing homes and hospitals with the love
an animal gives with pet visitations.
