Town of Lawrence, Wisconsin

Animal Services Program

The Town of Lawrence has recently partnered with the Citizen Animal Response Team (CART) to enhance animal control services

 within our community.

What CART Does:

• Responds to reports of stray animals

• Works to reunite lost pets with their owners

• Assists with injured or nuisance wildlife

CART is staffed by trained, paid on-call volunteers who are available 24/7 to respond when traditional Animal Control or other resources are unavailable.

This partnership strengthens the Town’s commitment to animal welfare and public safety.

For animal-related concerns when Animal Control is unavailable, CART can now serve as a reliable and compassionate resource.
