Second Chance Fund

Second chances. We’re all worthy of them; perhaps none more deserving than a shelter pet.

Welcome the abandoned, the unwanted, the forgotten.  

Those who have become too much, who aren’t enough and who are too old.

We accept them as they are and help to write a new chapter in the story of their lives and you can help, too.

For some, coming to the shelter is the first time in their lives they are are receiving medical care and evaluation.

In 2021 HSMC spent $152,210.50 in medical expenses for shelter pets; for spays, neuters, bloodwork, dentals, emergency medical treatment, amputations, mass removals, medications, vaccines and everything in-between.

We need your help to continue offering life saving care and treatments to those in need.

YOU can give a second chance to a shelter pet by donating to our Second Chance Fund today. 

Call us at 715-845-2810 and we can take your donation via credit card over the phone. You can also send a check in the amount of your choosing to HSMC 7001 Packer Drive Wausau, WI 54401 with “Second Chance” in the memo line.

Your donation will be used to provide a safety net for the most vulnerable.

You will change the life of an injured, ill or neglected shelter pet and give them the chance they deserve to find their forever home and live a happy, healthy life.
