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

***UPDATE! Zaiden & Zeke have an adoption pending! Zuri is still available! 😻

Hi, we're Zuri, Zaiden and Zeke! We're cute 3-month-old kittens looking for our forever homes. We were rescued from the outdoors and are now safe at the shelter and ready for adoption. We're adorable, playful, and affectionate little kittens! And here's a little secret: adopting kittens in pairs has tons of benefits for both you and us - we keep each other company, learn from one another, and burn off all that playful energy together. Plus, there's a BOGO! Apply to meet us! 😺💕 www.marshfieldpetshelter.org/adopt

Hi there! I'm Velma, a sweet 2-year-old who's been patiently waiting over two months for my forever home. I'm a bit of a queen bee and decided I'd be happiest as an only child, so I'm ready to find a home where I can be showered with all the attention. I absolutely adore getting pets and taking naps, so if you're looking for a furry couch potato to cuddle with, I'm your girl! My adoption fee has been waived in hopes of finding me a home soon! Apply to visit me today! 😺💕 www.marshfieldpetshelter.org/adopt

👉 Working Cat Needs a Home! 👈

Valorie came to us as a stray with her five kittens. She was in a foster home, but after her kittens were big enough to be on their own, Valorie came back to the shelter. She is not a fan of us humans or our pets. She loves being outside on the catio so for these reasons, we would like to place her into a working cat home where she can be cared for and thrive. She is spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. There is no fee to adopt a working cat. 😺 For more information about our working cat program, and to complete an application, visit our website: www.marshfieldpetshelter.org/working-cats

***UPDATE! DeeDee has been adopted! 😻

Hi, I'm DeeDee, a beautiful one-year-old girl who can't believe I've been at the shelter for a whole month without a single visitor! I'm still patiently waiting for my special someone to come find me. I'm a sweet and affectionate little lady who craves human attention and pets. While I'm still learning to love other cats, I'm hoping someone will apply to meet me and discover what a devoted and adorable companion I'll be. I'm ready to shower you with love and purrs. Apply to visit me today! 😺💕 www.marshfieldpetshelter.org/adopt

Hello! We're Daisy Duke and Stella and we became fast friends at the shelter! We were found separately as strays, but no one came to reclaim us, so we need new homes (we do not need to be adopted together, but we would love it if we did!). We enjoy spending time together and we're like peas in a pod! 😎

We have so much love to give and would make wonderful companions for both humans and other canines. Ready to visit a couple of sweet and playful girls? Then apply to meet us! Learn more about us at 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.
