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.
Look at these fantastic kids! They came to WisCARES a few weeks ago and asked what kind of supplies we needed—and then today they really came through with human supplies, pet supplies, and financial donations! Thank you both for everything!
Is your sink empty? We are urgently searching for fosters for our program! Foster pets come to WisCARES because their owners are unable to take care of their loved pets for a short time (for example, when they need to go into the hospital or are experiencing a housing emergency). WisCARES foster program is different than other foster programs because the pets you take care of already have a loving family--they just need some help for a little while! WisCARES covers all veterinary expenses, food, and supplies while pets are in foster. For more information or to apply, check out our website: wiscares.wisc.edu/become-a-foster-family
Top off your summer with a visit to Gib's and help support us! Every purchase of their special drink Best Friend will help support best (furry) friends in our community! Stop on by during the month of August and toast to us 🙂
Does your dog chew on pig ears? It’s best to throw them away right now—salmonella is no fun at all! Salmonella from pig’s ears can infect adults, children, and pets—the CDC and FDA are now advising people not to buy or feed any pig ear dog treats to pets, including any that may already be in homes.
