🌟🐾 Paw-some Pick of the Day! 🐾🌟

We’re shining the spotlight on our pets with something special: each day, one amazing pet will be featured as our Paw-some Pick of the Day — and for that day only, their adoption fee is waived!

👉Friday, November 13th's ...Paw-some Pick is Guppy A0061799045 !

Guppy is a 5-year-old boy weighing 57 pounds who came into our care as a stray and, unfortunately, was never reclaimed. He’s now ready for a fresh start and hoping to find a loving family to call his own!

Guppy recently had a dog introduction here at WCAS. He and the other dog were mostly indifferent toward each other through the fence. Once brought together, they spent some time sniffing and checking each other out. While the other dog appeared a bit more tense and Guppy was more submissive, staff did not observe any adverse behavior from either dog during their introduction.🐱🐶✨

‼🎉ADOPTION UPDATE!🎉‼

❤Remember Samantha & Midnight???❤

Samantha (grey) arrived at WCAS in August of this year after being surrendered by her owner, who was moving and unfortunately unable to bring her along. Thankfully, Samantha didn't have to wait long for ...her next chapter! Just a couple of weeks after arriving, she found a new family and headed off to her forever home.

A few days later, Midnight (black) arrived at WCAS as a stray alongside two littermates. When no owner came forward to reclaim the kittens, all three were made available for adoption—and it didn't take long for them to find their own happy endings! Midnight was quickly adopted, too, giving both Samantha and Midnight a fresh start in a loving home.

Samantha & Midnight's adopters reached out to share these photos and this great update!

🐾We adopted Samantha around the end of August and Midnight two weeks later. We weren't sure if they would get along but after a couple days they were and still are inseparable! They brought so much happiness to our house, we spoil them every day!🐾

👀🚨Do you know any of these dogs?🚨👀

‼️We've taken in a total of 24 stray dogs since Sunday!‼️
Can you help us find their families? Each animal's Intake Date & Location Found is include in their photo's caption.

👉If you believe one of ...these dogs is yours, please call us at 815-319-4100 and one of our call takers can speak with you about next steps OR stop by our facility.

👉We're open today (Thursday 11/12) until 5pm.

👉Some of these dogs are available for preselect adoption, which means that although the dog is still on their stray hold period and awaiting reclaim by their owner, an interested adopter is able to complete an adoption application and pay the fee to pre-select the animal for adoption. If the dog is not reclaimed, the adoption is finalized and the dog can go home as soon as they're spayed/neutered.

✨🙏It's Wishlist Wednesday! 🙏✨

Our model is ❤Clover A0061451936❤ and is available for adoption here at WCAS!

Clover is a lovable 6-year-old, 49-pound sweetheart who's hoping a little luck will lead her to the forever home she's been waiting for.
...
Clover came to WCAS as a stray and, despite every opportunity, was never reclaimed. While we don't know what her life was like before arriving at the shelter, we do know that she's ready to leave her days of uncertainty behind and start a new chapter with a family who will love her unconditionally.

At 6 years old, Clover is in the prime of her life. She's past the puppy stage but still has plenty of love, companionship, and adventures ahead of her. At 49 pounds, she's a wonderful medium-sized companion—equally suited for leisurely walks, relaxing at home, or spending quality time with the people she loves.

Like any dog adjusting to a new environment, Clover may need a little time to settle into her new routine. With patience, kindness, and consistency, she'll have every opportunity to blossom into a devoted and loyal companion. All she's asking for is a family willing to give her the chance.

Clover has already overcome the challenge of finding herself alone. Now she's searching for the one thing every dog deserves—a place to call home. If you're looking for a faithful friend with a heart full of love to give, Clover is ready to bring a little extra joy and a lot of companionship into your life.

❤Remember Cupid (now Wilson)???❤

Wilson arrived at WCAS on October 1st as a stray and was never reclaimed by an owner. Fortunately, this handsome guy didn't have to wait long for his next chapter! After spending just a few weeks with us, ...Wilson found his people and headed off to begin life in his new forever home!

Wilson's adopter reached out to share these photos and this great update!

🐾Just wanted to give you an update on Wilson (aka Cupid) ❤️
Ever since we took him home every second he has become more & more comfortable. He has opened up to be quite playful & the opposite of his depressive state. It is so special to me, as someone who knows depression, to see this sweet boy come to life as the pup he is. It's not only healing for us, he is healing too & he is doing so well. He even has made himself at home going to work with mama! He is the biggest goofy lover boy. We are so over joyed to be this baby's home. Thank you all so much for everything you all do.
You're all truly special souls 🥹 🐾
