Community Involvement

At Hillside Animal Hospital, we believe that a caring and thriving veterinary practice cannot exist in isolation from the community it serves. As residents of La Crosse, Wisconsin, we take great pride in the vibrancy of our community. Without the support of our friends and neighbors, we wouldn't be where we are today.

We are committed to being good neighbors and take every opportunity to help strengthen our community. More than 10 years ago we adopted a two-mile stretch of highway that runs in front of our clinic. Annually, our staff takes a few hours to ensure that this stretch of highway is clean and tidy for the Highway Department, take a look at some pictures below:

Past Events

The WAFER Pet Food Drive

Each year from November through mid-December, Hillside Animal Hospital sponsors a pet food drive for WAFER, our local food pantry. All the pet food that is collected directly benefits pets and their families in our community. In past years this cause has helped pull together thousands of pounds worth of pet food; this year our goal is to collect 3,800 pounds for delivery to local families by the arrival of the holidays.

 

Special Olympics

Hillside Animal Hospital helped out our area's Special Olympics by "Freezin for a Reason." We participated in the Polar Plunge; it was our fifth year plunging, and a huge success. We had six plungers that raised $1,300 in donations for the Special Olympics!
