Fosters Needed!

Do you love animals? Do you want to help animals that are in tough situations? The
Jefferson County Animal Cruelty Task force and Paw and Order Animal Rescue Fund

are looking for potential fosters.

When animals in neglectful or abusive homes are found, we often need to place them
temporarily (and sometimes permanently) with someone while the legal system does it’s
job. Jefferson County Dog Control and the Jefferson County SPCA are easily
overwhelmed and can only take in a certain number of dogs and cats.
We have a great need for fosters for both dogs and cats, as well as farm animals
including horses, cattle, goats, and more. If you have room in your heart and home or
pasture to foster neglected or abused animals, please let us know. If you are able to
take in a neglected or abused animal, you may be compensated by the legal system or
you can apply for assistance through the Paw and Order Animal Rescue Fund.
If you would like to be a foster, please reach out to Dr. Becky Reynolds of the
Watertown Animal Hospital at [email protected] or

Captain Cristin Lyon of the Watertown Police Department at [email protected]

Thank you for your help!

R***r, the lively 1.5-year-old German Shepherd mix, made a visit today for an important milestone in his young life: getting microchipped. Microchipping is a crucial step for pet owners, ensuring the safety and well-being of their beloved furry friends.
R***r handled the process like a champ! The procedure was quick and minimally invasive, causing only a momentary discomfort similar to a routine vaccination. Afterward, R***r was back to his playful self, ready to enjoy the rest of his day with his family.

🌈 Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day 🌈
Today, we pause to honor and remember the beloved pets who left pawprints on our hearts and now wait for us at the Rainbow Bridge. 🐾💫
Whether they were with us for many years or just a short time, the love they gave was pure and unconditional. Their tails wagged, their purrs soothed, and their presence filled our homes with joy. Losing them leaves an ache that never fully fades—but love that strong never truly dies. It simply changes form, living on in every cherished memory and every story we share.
On this day, we celebrate their lives, their loyalty, and the happiness they brought us. We remember their quirks, the little things that made them unique, and the comfort of knowing we were their “person.”
Though our hearts still grieve, we carry gratitude for the time we had. One day, we’ll meet them again at the Rainbow Bridge—where tails will wag, paws will run free, and love will never be interrupted again.
