Marshfield Area Pet Shelter

Call Directions Website Contact the organization

We are located in Marshfield, WISCONSIN. Approximately 800 dogs and cats enter our facility every year. The majority of animals entering our facility are strays.

We rely heavily on public donations to run our daily operations. $380,000 is needed annually to keep our doors open so we can help innocent animals. 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 700 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 there! I’m Daytona, a 6-year-young lovely lady looking for my next chapter! 💖

I’ve had a bit of a rough go of it for most of my life, so I am so eager to find a cozy, safe spot where I truly belong again. I am the perfect balance of a calm, loving companion—I love watching birds out the window, curling up for cuddles on your lap, and batting toys around whenever the mood strikes! 🤩

While I’d love to be the absolute center of your world, I’m also open to making a new feline friend if you already have a cat at home! 😺

Ready to bring a whole lot of joy and sweetness into your life? Apply to visit me! 🎉💕 www.marshfieldpetshelter.org/adopt

Honey Bee is really coming out of her shell! This sweet girl is starting to come right up to people for butt scritches and pets. Recently, she met a new friend, Clyde, and they became fast friends! 🥰

Honey Bee is true proof that love, kindness, and patience go a long way with a shy dog, and we are so proud of how far she has come. While she has made amazing strides, she will still thrive best in a home with another confident dog to continue showing her the ropes. She is the absolute sweetest girl and is going to make the most loyal, rewarding companion for a patient family! 💖

A golden pairing with a golden future! 💛🐾

Shortly after arriving at the shelter, we discovered 'Golden Girl' Blanche was deaf, while her sister Dorothy was on the shy side. These sweet sisters truly relied on each other, and lo and behold, a wonderful family stepped up to adopt them both! 🥰

We are so grateful to these amazing adopters for seeing how precious and special this bond was and for keeping them together. Congratulations! 🥳💕

Hi, I'm Violet, a medium sized, two year old girl who was born deaf. But don't let my hearing loss fool you because I don't miss a beat! I'm proof that love, smarts, and joy are felt with the heart, not just heard with the ears. 💖

I'm a sweet, social, and incredibly bright gal who adores everyone I meet. I'm a total superstar with people and I get along with other dogs, cats, and kids! Because I'm deaf, I rely on visual cues, gentle touch, and my keen intellect to communicate, making me an amazingly attentive and fast learner. I'm always eager to master hand signals and bond deeply with my human guide. 🐾

True to my Heeler roots, I'm a high-energy pup who loves to stay active, play, and burn off my enthusiasm, but I also enjoy couch snuggles. Whether I'm playing fetch, going on adventures, or learning new games, I bring pure happiness to everything I do. 🤩

If you're looking for a fun, intelligent, and affectionate companion to show you just how resilient and loving a rescue dog can be, I'm waiting to steal your heart! Apply to meet me! 💕 www.marshfieldpetshelter.org/adopt

Hi, my name is Cillian, and I'm about 3 years old! I'll bet you didn't know that one cat could be so handsome and so sweet at the same time! That's right, I'm the whole package, baby! I'm easy on the eyes and very affectionate. 💖

I'm still not 100% sure how I feel about other cats, but I can tell you with absolute certainty that dogs are a big NO for me! If you need a dashing dude and a delightfully needy boy in your life, then hit me up. Apply to meet me today! 😺💕 www.marshfieldpetshelter.org/adopt

Patience, love, and a fresh start for sweet Eve! 🌸🐾

Her new family completely understands the magic of giving a shy kitten time, space, and gentle encouragement to come out of her shell. Even better? She is joining a host of friendly feline brothers and sisters who will help her thrive and show her the ropes! 😺

Thank you to her amazing new family for recognizing how special she is. 🏠✨
