C.A.R.E. for Paws

Fundraising

All of our funding has come from generous clients who see the need for disaster planning and response for pets.

How we fund it

Paw prints, raffles and matched gifts

To date, all of our funding has come from generous clients of Countrycare Animal Complex who see the need for this type of disaster planning and response program.

Once a year, Countrycare holds a fundraiser for the C.A.R.E. program. When individuals donate to C.A.R.E. for Paws, they write their names or their pets’ names on paw prints that get posted in our lobby. Excitement for the program grows as paw prints fill the lobby. On occasion, we also create pet-themed raffle baskets for our fundraising efforts. Proceeds from the raffles also benefit C.A.R.E. for Paws.

In their words

The hearts we’ve touched

A woman crouching beside her German Shepherd on a wooded path, one arm around the dog.

“I arrived with a bag of pills and not much hope for Fina’s quality of life. Dr. Strickfaden listened, and within weeks my German Shepherd was on the road to recovery.”

A woman lies cheek to cheek with her golden retriever on the grass, both grinning.

“Years ago when all other vets gave up on my older dog Katy, Dr. Strickfaden got her back to agility competition form with acupuncture. I’m a big fan!”

A happy red poodle hugged over its owner’s shoulder.

“Countrycare Animal Complex is what I wish for all pets. Your compassion and genuine caring makes all the difference. Duke is a happy dog because of you.”

A Yorkshire terrier looks out over a woman’s shoulder as she holds him.

“Everyone there was great — from making the appointment to the vet tech to our vet. Everyone was super friendly and nice. They took their time. We didn’t feel rushed. We were very happy and grateful to the staff.”

Anne S. · Denmark, WI
A smiling man lies on the grass beside his happy golden retriever.

“Dr. Heintz was so gentle and compassionate with our dog. The vet tech was so kind and understanding with all of the questions that I asked her. They made me feel comfortable with the decisions that we made for Maddie.”
