Marshfield Area Pet Shelter

Marshfield Area Pet Shelter More than 700 animals enter our facility every year. Help us help them. Please donate! The majority of animals entering our facility are strays.

Marshfield Area Pet Shelter, Inc is a private non-profit animal welfare organization with a seven member Board of Directors. We have four full-time employees who cover 7 day a week shifts from 7am to 8pm. Other shelters comparable to the size of our shelter generally have approximately 10-13 employees. But thanks to the dedication of 40+ volunteers, we are able to provide daily care to more than 7

00 animals every year. We have contracts with local municipalities to house stray dogs and cats while we attempt to locate their owners. The following municipalities pay us to provide this service: City of Marshfield, Village of Spencer, Townships of McMillan, Richfield, Lincoln and Rock. If an owner does not come forward to reclaim their pet, the animal is then spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and place up for adoption. Other animal intakes include pets taken into custody by law enforcement, stray dogs and cats from non-contracted areas, owner pet surrenders and pets transferred in from other organizations. Animal intakes other than our contracted areas are dependent on the amount of space we have available at our facility. We proudly follow the Shelter Medicine’s guidance for Capacity for Care. A waitlist is available for when space opens up. All animal shelters are overwhelmed and overcrowded. The number of pet surrender requests continues to increase and hundreds of strays are found every year. Pet overpopulation has increased significantly. The only solution to this dilemma is to facilitate more low cost spay and neuter options, implement TNR efforts and educate people on the importance of spaying and neutering! As Marshfield’s first animal welfare organization, we are transforming the way our community views animals and animal welfare. Our future goals include innovative education programs for the public and investments in outreach, advocacy and affordable spay/neuter options for the Marshfield area. State Kennel License #492209

Hi, my name is Violet and I'm 9 months old! I was surrendered back to the shelter after my family could no longer care for me. I am an adorable, super sweet and energetic girl looking for the perfect home. I absolutely love people and I get along great with other dogs, making me an ideal companion for both individuals and other pups!

My previous family discovered that I am deaf. However, I'm a happy girl who doesn't understand that I am any different from other dogs. I am always eager to learn and the staff has worked up a hand signal training procedure for me! I'm a smart cookie who's sure to keep you on your toes with my curiosity. I will steal your heart if you give me the chance to meet you! To learn more about me, then apply for a visit! πŸ’•πŸΎ www.marshfieldpetshelter.org/adopt

Our Story

Located in Marshfield, Wisconsin, the Marshfield Area Pet Shelter is a 501(c)3 non-profit animal welfare organization serving the greater Marshfield area. MAPS moved into a brand new state-of-the-art facility located at 3500 Downwind Dr (behind Slumberland and across from Wildwood Animal Hospital) on August 20, 2020. Due to covid-19, we do not have open hours for visiting our adoptable animals. Appointments can be scheduled to meet our adoptable pets once we receive an approved adoption application.

We began our lifesaving mission in September of 2011 when a small group of concerned citizens took the time to review the current process for handling stray animals for the city of Marshfield. In reviewing the process, a necessity was realized; our community desperately needed a humane pet shelter and more importantly, our pets deserved a higher quality of care than they had been afforded for many years. With the passing of new Wisconsin legislation to protect dogs and their owners in June of 2011 and with our stray animals being taken to two separate animal control facilities, the timing was right to act on our vision to build a safe haven for animals in need. A facility provides a temperature controlled environment, getting pets out of extreme heat and cold conditions. It allows us to provide veterinary care, spay and neutering, socialization, microchipping and adoption for homeless pets. A shelter for the Marshfield area enables us to lend a hand to other overcrowded area shelters. It serves our community as a resource center for animal related situations, questions and education.

Our 501c3 non-profit organization has numerous supporters, donors and contributors who believe in our mission. We have a board of directors, several shelter committees and a strong presence in our community. All of our fundraising events are great successes, reinforcing our belief the Marshfield community is ready and eager to embrace and support a humane effort to improve the quality of life for all animals. In September 2015, we moved into the old airport terminal building at 210 W 29th Street. Renovations were completed that summer to help us safely care for Marshfield's homeless animals, a first for the Marshfield community.
