🐾‼Our Eyewitness News Pet of the Week, Duke, helped us spread the word about our ‼️$50 DOG ADOPTIONS‼️ for a limited time due to our CRITICAL CAPACITY & Lucky Dog, Lucky You adoption promotion!‼🐾

He loves you already... and he hasn't even met you yet! Meet Duke! ...Duke first came to us as a stray in early-February of this year and was never reclaimed by an owner. Duke was quickly adopted; however, after less than a month in his new home, he was returned due to a change in his owner's housing situation. He's got an exuberant personality and a spark for life that he's ready to share with the world. At just about a year old, his goofy antics while playing out in the yard tire him out at the end of the day and he can't wait to snuggle up on the bed under a cozy blanket! He is a great size at just 44 pounds. This friendly boy is working on his manners, and he can't wait to continue his training to be the best boy in his forever home.

‼OUR POPULATION IS AT CRITICAL CAPACITY‼️ - FEES ARE NOW $50 ON DOGS ‼️

📢February By the Numbers: A Look at Last Month's Impact!📢

We want to keep you in the loop! Starting this month, we’ll be sharing a monthly snapshot showing the highlights of the work done at Winnebago County Animal Services. If you’re interested in more details beyond these ...highlights, our Monthly Shelter Reports are posted to our website’s “Our Work” page.

Here’s what February looked like:

🚨‼️ URGENT: WE NEED YOUR HELP ‼️🚨

In the past 7 days, 56 new dogs have entered our building. Our dog kennels are at max capacity with over 100 dogs in the building, and we are facing incredibly difficult decisions about the status of our dogs.

‼️🚨We are ...currently running our "Lucky Dog, Lucky You" adoption promotion! All of our adoptable dogs, around 60 so plenty to choose from, that are off of a stray period currently have $50 adoption fees! ‼️🚨

Every dog posted below is available for adoption. We need your help!! If you've been thinking about adding a dog to your family, now is the time to act. If we are able to find placement for just a few dogs, the risk of having to make heartbreaking decisions lowers.

Carlton, an outgoing guy who gets ...along with everyone he meets!
This handsome brindle was found as a stray in January with a sweater on and a friendly disposition with everyone!
We were sadly surprised when his owner never came for him.
Carlton loves treats, attention, and spending time with people! Carlton has also done well with other dogs here at the shelter and knows "sit" and "shake." At 5 years old, he still has a lot of playful spunk!
Come and meet this wonderful boy: we know you’ll fall in love!”

Hello everyone! Allow us to introduce Diane!

Diane is a 4 year old pocket Pittie mix that came to us as a stray. When Diane first arrived, she was very shut down and was in pain from very bad skin issues. We knew this sweet baby had been through some things, as she would just lay in the ...tightest ball on her bed and grumble at anyone who came near her cage. So we did our best to make her as comfortable as possible and gave her the space she needed. Our veterinary staff started getting her healthy right away and soon our kennel team started spending time with her one on one, and her wonderful personality has started bursting through.

Things we have learned about Diane;
1. She loves to play fetch!
2. She’s interested in other dogs.
3. She walks amazing on a leash.
4. She firmly believes she is a lap dog.
5. She loves giving kisses.

Diane is becoming more brave every day! She now comes to the front of her kennel door to see what’s going on and she is making new friends every day! She just needs a little time to get to know you. And once she does, she will absolutely bond with you. Diane will make a wonderful companion for anyone willing to give her the time!
