St. Croix Petapalooza to Support Local Non-Profits

The St. Croix Petapalooza will be held from noon to 4 p.m. on Sept. 15.

The event will take place at Hoffman Park in River Falls. It aims to increase community awareness and support the pet-related non-profits in the St. Croix Valley, according to the St. Croix Petapalooza website. 

The St. Croix Petapalooza is a joint effort of five local pet-related organizations: PAWS of Western WI, Helping Hands for Pets, CatTown Rescue, St. Croix Animal Friends and Cocker Resources.  

These organizations seek to provide the following resources and services:

• Spay/Neuter Assistance to provide reduced fees for the altering of family pets in need of help. 
• Pet Food Assistance for families struggling to feed their beloved furry friends. 
• Financial Assistance for basic needs to keep a pet in its home rather than be surrendered or euthanized due to financial limitations. 
• Foster Home Programs to provide a temporary, safe and loving environment for homeless and unwanted pets 
• Adoption Programs where unwanted pets find permanent homes after receiving medical care, spay/neuter, vaccinations, and lots of love. 
• Pet Finding Network to find and report lost pets in our St. Croix Valley communities. 
• In the future to build a Humane Society facility on already purchased land in St Croix county.
