From the founder, Tracy Harris:
My reason for starting this pantry was simple: helping animals is what brings me joy. Barney (my dog) brought me joy. I wanted to honor him in a way that could bring joy to others. It is the mission of Barney’s Blessings to see no animal is surrendered or abandoned due to sudden financial hardship.

Valley of the Kings Visitation Day
Valley of the Kings Sanctuary and Retreat
W7593 Townhall Road
Sharon, WI 53585-9728
Valley of the Kings Sanctuary and Retreat is home to 50 large cats and other animals. We invite you to browse our web site and introduce you to some of our animals so you may know their heartrending stories and find out what we’re doing to help these wonderful creatures.
Visiting the Sanctuary is a privilege we extend to our members. To make your visit a happy experience for you, your family and for the animals, we must have rules. Failure to comply with these rules can result in loss of membership. Thank you for your cooperation. Read rules on website.
The mission of Valley of the Kings Sanctuary and Retreat is to provide a home for abused, abandoned, retired, and injured large felid’s, exotic and domestic non-human animals.
We give the best available diet, housing, veterinary care and positive human interaction. Valley of the Kings educates the general public concerning the bond between human and non-human animals in the natural world.
We also teach that private and commercial ownership, hunting for profit or sport, and the destruction of natural habitat will mean eventual extinction for these creatures. Lastly, we teach that when we remove animals from the wild, we take their freedom and wildness, the essence of their being. Open Saturdays & Sundays through summer. e-mail: Phone: 262-736-9386

Marquette Veterinarian Service
Low Cost Vaccinations & Microchipping
Adams Town Hall
1980 11th Ave
(Just North of the Adams County Humane Society)
Friendship, WI 53934
We will be offering the following vaccinations for dogs & cats
Rabies: $10
Distemper: $10
Kennel Cough (Bordatella): $10
Also offering Microchips: $25 (Including national registration)
What is a Microchip?
A microchip looks like a small piece of rice inserted just under the skin in the area between the shoulder blades. This will stay in the animal for the rest of their lives. If for some reason the animal has run away or is stolen this is a good proof of ownership. If the animal came in to a Humane Society or Vet office we scan them
for a chip and if we find one we can get a hold of the owner within minutes and reunite them with their owners.
Dogs & Cats can be given rabies vaccination as early as 3 months old. By law dogs must be given a rabies vaccination by the age of 5 months old. You do not have to be from Adams County to come to our Clinic. We welcome everyone. Cash only.
All dogs must be on a leash. All cats must be in a crate. For more information call the Adams County Humane Society.Call 608-339-6700
