🎥🐾 Meet Dolly Parton — our Eyewitness News Pet of the Week with Meteorologist Joey Marino! 🐾🎥

Dolly Parton’s journey hasn’t been an easy one, but through it all she has remained incredibly loving and resilient. 💕

Dolly came to Winnebago County Animal Services ...after a resident discovered her in their garage while she was in active labor. Once at WCAS, staff quickly realized she was experiencing serious complications and rushed her to an emergency clinic for urgent medical care. Sadly, the puppy she had been trying to deliver did not survive.

After receiving the care she needed, Dolly returned to WCAS where she was closely monitored by staff and placed on a treatment plan while she recovered. We’re happy to share that Dolly has healed beautifully, has been medically cleared for adoption, and is now ready to find the loving forever home she deserves. 🏡

We estimate Dolly to be around 3 years old. She has done well meeting other dogs and people, and she absolutely loves affection. One of her favorite things to do is place her front paws in your lap and stare into your eyes while soaking up all the love she can get. 🥹 Her adorable round bulldog head, chunky little body, and tiny stub tail only add to her charm.

Dolly Parton has already been through so much, and now she’s hoping for a fresh start with a family who will give her comfort, kindness, and all the love in the world. Could that family be yours? 💖

Meet Dolly Parton at Winnebago County Animal Services and help give this sweet girl the happy ending she deserves.

👉Tuesday, May 19th's Paw-some ...Pick is Sprecker A0060873906 !

Sprecker is a 1-year-old pup weighing 50 pounds who is ready to find a forever family of his own! Sprecker came to us as a stray and was never reclaimed, so his exact background is unknown. What we do know is that this young guy is full of energy and loves to play.

While in our care, Sprecker participated in a dog intro with another dog here at the shelter. Staff noted that Sprecker came on a little strong at first due to his high-energy personality, but he did not display any inappropriate behavior. Once the two dogs got going, they spent their time playing, roughhousing, and having a blast together in the play yard.

Sprecker is looking for a family that can help channel his playful energy while giving him the love, guidance, and fun he deserves. Help us get to know Sprecker by meeting with him and seeing if he could be the right fit for your family!🐱🐶✨
