‼🎉ADOPTION UPDATE!🎉‼

❤Remember Duchess???❤

Duchess came to WCAS as a stray in late-April of this year and was never reclaimed by an owner. Duchess eagerly awaited adoption for a little over a month at our facility until her adopters visited and fell in love with ...this sweet girl!

Duchess' adopter shared an update with us along with these heartwarming photos!
🐾This is an adoption update for duchess, who we adopted In May. Her name is still duchess since it matches her brother’s D names (Doug and Dante). She quickly discovered her favorite place to hang out was on top of the table on the back deck overlooking her land lol.
She loves car rides, her new dog and human siblings and going to the outdoor movies with us. She’s the most calm and sweet dog! She gets little spurts of energy and zoomies but is a couch potato snuggle bug for the most part 🙂 she’s the perfect addition to our family.🐾

❤Remember Jules (now Julie)???❤

Julie came to WCAS in late-January of this year as a stray and was never reclaimed by an owner. Julie eagerly awaited adopted and exactly two months after her arrival at WCAS, this sweet girl was adopted!

...Julie's adopter shared an update with us along with these amazing photos!
🐾We are so thrilled and overjoyed to share all the love Miss Jules has brought into our home. (We call her Julie). We adopted her on 3/24/2025 and it took no time at all for her to become a member of our family.
She is so loyal, smart and has such a beautiful spirit. She has gained 7 lbs and our vet is very happy with her progress.

I have attached some pictures of her new life with us which include where she sleeps....yep right in our bed, her love of going on the pontoon, and her daily pup cup runs.

We are so very blessed to have found her and look forward to many years of spoiling this wonderful dog!
Thank you Amber and staff for all you do to find homes for all of these precious animals.
God bless you all ❤️

❤Remember Chet & Cora (now Church & Leia)???❤

Church & Leia came to WCAS as stray kittens back in 2023. Thankfully, Church & Leia were nice and healthy when they arrived at our facility, and after just a week in our care they were... adopted- TOGETHER!❤❤

Church & Leia's adopter shared an update with us along with these adorable photos!
🐾We adopted Church and Leia ( then they were Chet and Cora) in September 2023. We knew we were going to find one but we found two kittens. They are siblings.We love them to pieces. I can't thank the winnebago county shelter enough. We adopted them on a Saturday. They neutered and spayed them and we picked them up Tuesday. They even gave us a voucher for a free first vet visit for both of them. They are healthy ,happy and spoiled to death. I'm so thankful. I'm looking forward to many more years with them. ❤️ ❤️ 🐾

❤Remember Chance???❤

Chance came to WCAS as a stray in mid-May of this year as a stray and was never reclaimed by an owner. Chance spent the next 6 weeks eagerly awaiting adoption, hoping that a family would take a chance 😉 on him! Thankfully,... a wonderful family did, and in early July he was adopted!

Chance's adopter shared an update with us along with these adorable photos!
🐾We (my husband and I) adopted Chance on July 5th.
He has been such a good boy. We kept his name Chance, it just fits him. We were told he was a barker but the only time I've heard him bark was today when I was vacuuming lol. We've been on several walks, he loves car rides; even went to a car show last weekend and was a big hit with everyone. I've taught him to shake and he runs like nobody's business in our back yard showing how happy he is. He has definitely been a great addition to our family.
Here are a few pictures of many since he's come here to his furever home. One picture is him sitting in the cats bed. You'll know which one when you see it. LOL
Thank you for making this possible. 🐾

‼🎉ADOPTION UPDATE!🎉‼

❤Remember Clark???❤

Clark came to us as a stray back in early-May of 2024 as a stray and was never reclaimed by an owner. Thankfully, Clark didn't have to wait long for adoption; during his stray hold period, Clark was preselected by his ...future adopters! We prioritized his neuter surgery to align with his emancipation date; so when his owners failed to reclaim him, he was altered and his adopters were able to take him home right away!

Clark's adopter shared an update with us along with these adorable photos!
🐾We adopted through WCAS back in May of 2024. We named our “little” guy Clark and brought him home with us! I saw you guys posted about updating on pets that have been adopted so I thought I’d share our story. Clark just turned two back on July 6th and has been a crazy ball of energy since we got him. He’s part Great Dane and lab mixed together and it’s so cute to see both of those personalities come out of him. We learned that he LOVES chicken and going in a lake.. just not kiddie pools! lol!

He loves going for walks, laying on his hammock, whipping toys around, running around the backyard to be chased, jumping off the dock into the lake, and putting his back legs and butt on the couch.

We have worked with training him to walk nicely, not jump on people (cause he’s huge), sit nicely, lay down, and much more. He’s a great learner for sure! 🙂 Clark weighs 135lbs and is extremely tall. This boy thinks he’s just a little guy when he wants to sleep, lay, sit, or lean against anyone. When we saw his pictures online he tricked us by looking way smaller then what he was, and man.. when we saw him in person we both said “ummm he’s huge” and laughed!

We love our “little” peanut and can’t wait for the years and many more memories to come with him! Thanks WCAS for finding this guy!!!

❤Remember Mucho Gusto (now Francis)???

Francis came to WCAS as a stray in early-May of this year and was never reclaimed by an owner. Francis eagerly awaited adoption for almost two months! However, just a few days into July, Francis was ...adopted!

Francis' adopter shared an update with us along with these adorable photos!
🐾Just want to give an update on Mucho Gusto now Francis! He is such an amazing addition to our family. He loves walks and running in the yard with the kids. He loves to curl up on me or my oldest daughter and take a nap. He sits and gives paw before eating. He truly is a blessing, he was the only dog in the shelter that wasn’t jumping and barking. He was looking at me and sitting and wagging his tail, and that’s how I knew he would be perfect for us. He also loves to play with our cat Muzzy. Thank you so much for the opportunity to adopt. 🖤🐾
