Please help out!!

➡️➡️Collecting for our silent auction/sale we will have during our open house (dates coming soon)! We are happy to take just about anything except the typical items like large appliances, clothing (unless it'd name brand or specialty item etc: Harley jacket), electronics.⬅️⬅️

🐾Baskets will be made for our silent auction. Funds raised will go towards the care of our current cats, medical needs, and future care until they find their home

🐾Other items will be sold as is (mini garage sale). Funds raised will be set aside. The plan is to fix the van, however, we may hold onto it to ensure we can care for any needs the cats may have until they find their home.

➡️➡️Due to limited time/volunteers, we ask for items to be dropped off at the HTTR Barron location. Just drop off in front of the garage or if it's raining under the awning of the milk house. Send us a message letting us know you dropped off! We sure to APPRECIATE your donation/s and time! ⬅️⬅️

Need more information? Join our Hearts and Hands Group! There is a community of people able/willing to answer!

Thank you for considering! 💜😸

PAWS of Barron County has been around for 16 years now! What do we do? Our goal is to help end pet overpopulation by helping residents of Barron County be able to afford to spay or neuter their dogs and cats. Fill out a simple one page application (Available at participating vet clinics and soon available online) and when approved, the applicant receives a voucher in the mail for a discount off the cost of spay/neuter surgery that they turn in to the vet clinic on the day of surgery. This process is fast and simple and a great way to afford this very important procedure for your pet while using your local veterinarian. If you know of someone who could benefit from this program, please share this post!

Great News! Ladyvet Animal Hospital with Dr Vicki Sokolowski has joined the PAWS participating veterinarian group. Her office is located at: W8638 Highway 8 Ladysmith WI 54848. You can contact via phone 715-532-5539 or email [email protected]

We will contribute $100 towards a female dog spay, $75 for a male dog neuter, $80 for a female cat spay, and $60 for a male cat neuter.
We no longer have income restrictions. Please share and help spread the word!

We received 17 applications in March. How about we double that and help 34 pets get fixed (or at least get on the schedule!) in April?? Don't delay, apply today - puppy and kitten season is on the way!

11/03/2024

Getting help to pay for your pet to be fixed is VERY easy! Simply fill out an application online OR pick one up at a participating vet clinic and we will mail you a voucher that covers a portion of this life-saving surgery - $75 towards a male dog, $100 towards a female dog, $60 towards a male cat, or $80 towards a female cat at a participating clinic. Give your vet the certificate on the morning of surgery and receive the discounted bill. Participating clinics include Barron Vet Clinic (Barron), Bear Creek Animal Hospital (Rice Lake), Northern Lakes Vet Clinic (Cumberland), Rice Lake Animal Hospital (Rice Lake), and Spay/Neuter Wellness Clinic (Amery). Be sure to apply at least two weeks before your pet's surgery so the certificate has time to reach you in the mail! Please share this post to help us spread the word.

We were hacked! It was brough to our attention that political posts appeared on our page in the past 24 hours. These were NOT posted by PAWS and PAWS does NOT support ANY sort of political agenda - we are here 1000% to help people pay for spay/neuter and nothing else. Passwords have been reset and I apologize for any stress this caused anyone! Yikes!

February is Feline Fix by Five awareness month! We’re helping to spread the word about the best time to spay and neuter kittens – BEFORE five months of age! Kittens can be safely spayed or neutered once they are two months (or once they weigh two pounds). Talk to your veterinarian if you have any questions about your cat, and you can also learn more at felinefixbyfive.org

Getting spay/neuter assistance from PAWS takes just four simple steps!
1) Make an appointment to get your pet fixed at a participating vet clinic at least 10 days out (3 weeks is better if you're mailing in the application).
2) Fill out a paper application (found at participating vet clinics) and mail it to us OR fill out the online application form
3) Wait to get the PAWS voucher back in the mail that pays for up to half the surgery cost.
4) Take your pet to their appointment and give the vet clinic the voucher when you check in! They'll take the approved amount right off your bill.
List of participating vet clinics and link to the online form are in the comments!
