The Board of Directors and Executive Director are all volunteers. The
shelter serves both Pierce and St. Croix counties, taking in over 1,000 animals

GPA
Wisconsin Greyhound Adoption
Greyhound Pets of America (GPA) is a nationwide non-profit, volunteer-supported organization dedicated to the
placement of ex-racing Greyhounds in ideal home situations. We are a
Greyhound-placement organization that accepts Greyhounds primarily from the Wisconsin Greyhound
racetracks and local shelters. Through a network of local veterinarians, our organization provides full
examinations, spaying, neutering, dental care and other needed medical procedures prior to adoption. German
Shorthaired Pointer Rescue of Wisconsin
We believe that the German Shorthaired Pointer is a special breed with special needs--needs which are
sometimes overlooked by people when purchasing a dog. We understand the breed and can offer a service by
screening prospective adopters to find these lost dogs a good home. We want to work with adopters and
agencies to see that no GSPs are left in shelters or are put down for inappropriate reasons. Wisconsin
Chow Chow Rescue
Since 1985, Wisconsin Chow Rescue has been giving homeless Chow Chows a second chance at the life of love and happiness
that every pet deserves. Our volunteers provide services from saving Chows from the brink of death at animal shelters to helping
owners learn more about their dogs. We can help with almost every question about Chow Chows and responsible dog ownership. Wisconsin
Siberian Husky Rescue
WISH is a group of volunteers passionate about and dedicated to Siberian
Huskies. It is their mission to get all huskies out of
"kill" shelters, homes where they are unwanted, off the streets,
out of puppy mills and into homes where they will be given proper food,
shelter, love and affection. German Shepherd Rescue Alliance of
Wisconsin
On March 30, 2001, German Shepherd Rescue Alliance of Wisconsin, Inc. ("GSRAW"), was incorporated, although
operations had begun in the support of the defined mission more than one year prior. GSRAW has no shelter and operates utilizing a
phone, post office box, and internet networking system. Occasionally, boarding kennels are options used to save an
animal's life. Although we are newly formed, collectively our members have many years of experience in evaluating
temperaments, fostering, placing and training German Shepherd Dogs. Retrieve A Golden of Minnesota
Retrieve A Golden Of Minnesota, Inc. has been rescuing golden retrievers since 1985.
Our non-profit organization is comprised of hard working volunteers whose only reward is seeing these
wonderful Goldens placed in loving, permanent homes and given a second chance for a happy life. Our
process may seem slow, but if you are patient, we will try to provide you with a devoted, loving companion -a
Golden Retriever. Thank you for your interest. Minnesota Border Collie
