Serving Jefferson County & surrounding communities
Helping people care for the pets they love.
Paws & People WI Inc is a Wisconsin nonprofit working to reduce financial and practical barriers to pet care—so more families can keep their pets healthy, safe, and at home.
Our programs are being built in phases. Full website coming soon.Who we are
Support people. Strengthen the human-animal bond.
Rising costs, transportation challenges, and limited access to affordable services can make it difficult for families to provide basic care for their pets. Paws & People WI Inc is being built to help close those gaps through practical, community-focused programs for both people and animals.
Our mission
To provide accessible resources, affordable veterinary services, and lifesaving adoption opportunities that improve the lives of both pets and the people who love them.
What we're building
Three connected ways to help.
Our charitable programs are planned as a phased approach, allowing the organization to grow responsibly as funding, partnerships, staffing, facilities, and required approvals are put in place.
02
Affordable Veterinary Care
Planned low-cost veterinary services designed to make preventive care and treatment more accessible, with charitable support helping reduce cost barriers for community members in need.
03
Rescue & Adoption
A planned adoption program focused on giving homeless animals a path to loving homes while collaborating with shelters and rescues facing capacity challenges.
This is about community stability, too.
When families can access food, supplies, and veterinary care for their pets, they are better equipped to keep those animals safely in their homes and avoid heartbreaking choices driven by financial hardship or lack of local resources.
Why it matters
Keeping pets with families can help both.
- Reduce financial barriers to responsible pet ownership.
- Help households navigate temporary hardship or emergency needs.
- Improve access to local, affordable veterinary care.
- Prevent avoidable pet surrender caused by cost or access barriers.
- Support collaboration among food pantries, human-service organizations, veterinary providers, shelters, rescues, and other community partners.
- Create more opportunities for homeless animals to find permanent homes.
