Emergency Response

If this is an emergency that poses risks to human life and public safety DIAL 911.

Do not put yourself or others at risk of injury or death when trying to assist animals.

If this is an animal emergency contact in this order:

  1. Your local veterinarian

  2. Your local animal support team: this is the group that you have created of neighbors, stable owners, and local animal professionals

  3. Non-emergency dispatch for your area to get to the fire department and or law enforcement agencies

  4. Wisconsin Large Animal Emergency Response can be contacted for availability to respond with emergency assistance by phone at 608-561-7640. This is not a direct number to speak with an individual but your call will be returned as soon as resources become available.

WLAER may not be available for direct onsite assistance, but every effort will be made to assist with technical advice and/or additional resources specific to your emergency and geographical area.
