Helping PAWS is a locally based, non-profit, and no-kill animal rescue in northern Wisconsin. Our sole purpose is to stop the suffering of companion animals caused by homelessness, overpopulation, and mistreatment. Our goal is that no adoptable companion animal ever be euthanized for lack of medical care and a good home. This goal is not limited to dogs and cats, but extends equally to horses, rabbits, birds and other domestic species. Our mission is to proactively aid homeless and unwanted animals by offering, not just a “humane" alternative, but to provide in each case the best possible process that would result in each individual pet finding its forever-home. Our mission is unique in that we include not only young, healthy homeless pets, but also owner surrenders and individuals with medical needs that would cause them to be rejected by or euthanized by other organizations.
