Welcome to WisCARES
A community veterinary clinic for families experiencing low income and/or homelessness.

WisCARES is located near stop 4192 on Madison Metro bus lines B and H

We believe that all families deserve access to veterinary care for their pets.

Need to See a Vet?

The WisCARES program seeks to provide holistic health care and housing support to Dane County's disadvantaged residents and their pets.

We believe everyone, regardless of their financial or housing status, benefits from the human-animal bond.
