Welcome to WisCARES
We believe that everyone deserves the ability to take care of their pets.
We believe that financial struggle and homelessness does not mean that you should not have a pet.
We believe in educating our future providers in how to help clients with complicated needs and their pets.
WisCARES is Madison’s south-side veterinary clinic and social service agency for low-income and homeless pet owners.
Check out if you qualify, make an appointment, look into our social services, or give us a call/stop in. We look forward to working with you.
Thanks to Hy-Vee for the free donuts and coffee! They will really help fuel our busy Friday 🙂
We need an amazing volunteer to help out foster program!
Right now we have next to zero foster families 😞 We're having to turn away folks who would like to access our services, which is not great for our clients! Are you experienced with pet foster services? Do you have bright ideas for finding loving foster homes? We would love a foster family coordinator to breathe some life into our program. Our foster family coordinator position would be 1-3 hours per week, remote or at the clinic, and requires someone who loves people and pets.
If you're interested in the position or have any questions, email us at wiscares@gmail.com, or message us here! Thanks 🙂
Wow! We got a huge double carload of donations today—thank you so much to Alexander, Adam, MadCat, and Madison Country Day School for the amazing supplies! We’re so happy to have new stuff to hand out to our clients. We couldn’t do this without our amazing community support!
Thank you so much to Steve and IDEXX for giving us our sweet new in-house lab equipment! This should help us to help our clients in a much more timely and efficient manner, as well as do some super useful teaching for our students. We’re so excited!
Is your summer looking lonely? Considering fostering for WisCARES! We’re low on fosters these days—our fosters tend to be college students and their schedules can change. We’d love some fresh help! WisCARES fosters are incredibly, kind, lovely folks who open their homes and hearts to temporary care for animals whose families love them and want them back. We provide all supplies! Interested? 🐶 🐱 Apply on our website (see link in comments) or email wiscares@gmail.com. 💜
