What is Shelter From The Storm?
Shelter From the Storm Animal Rescue was formed in 2005 by Allison Davies in response to the overwhelming amount of animals being euthanized in local shelters. SFTS is an all-breed dog and cat rescue that focuses on alleviating overcrowding in shelters and helping adoptable/treatable animals. Since its inception, we've helped The Humane Society of The United States during Hurricane Katrina by transporting over 100 animals to safety in Wisconsin where they were vetted, placed in foster care, and ultimately found their forever homes. We also worked with them to deal with a major hoarding/neglect situation at the Thyme and Sage Ranch which was operating as an animal rescue/animal control agency but was housing in excess of 300 animals.

Although the Wisconsin Community Veterinary Center is open to the public as a full-service vet clinic, a large part of what we do is extending a helping hand to other rescues and shelters by offering spay/neuter services at a lower cost. Since we're also a rescue, we understand the importance of running a business and keeping costs down. Our veterinarians and staff have become skilled in high volume spay/neuter procedures and continue to expand their skills. Additional procedures have gradually been added such as dentals, amputations, foreign object removals, and ACL repairs. Currently we spay /neuter over 12,000 dogs and cats every year.
Shelter From The Storm is a Madison, WI based non-profit, all breed dog and cat rescue whose mission is to reduce the euthanasia rate of healthy and adoptable animals and to improve the lives of companion animals.
We do this by:
-
Finding permanent homes for animals in need
-
Providing support to communities who do not have access to humane organizations
-
Educating the public on responsible pet ownership
-
Providing access to affordable spay/neuter services and veterinary care
