🌟🐾 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!

👉Saturday, June 13th's ...Paw-some Pick is Zipporah A0060994854!

Zipporah is a 2-year-old pup weighing 50 pounds who is ready to find a loving forever home. Zipporah came to us as a stray and was never reclaimed by an owner, so her exact background is unknown. What we do know is that this sweet, social girl has quickly won over the hearts of our staff and volunteers.

During her time at WCAS, Zipporah completed a successful dog intro with another dog here at the shelter. In fact, she's one of our team's go-to temperament test dogs because of her friendly and easygoing nature. Zipporah seems to get along with everyone she meets and is always happy to make a new friend!

Whether she's spending time with people or other dogs, Zipporah's cheerful personality shines through. She's hoping to find a family who will give her the love, stability, and adventures she's been waiting for.

Help us get to know Zipporah by meeting with her and seeing if she could be the right fit for your family! She can’t wait to meet you, so stop by the shelter during our open hours to meet Zipporah and the other pets waiting for their second chance at a forever home.

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, June 12th's Paw-some ...Pick is Topher A0060707022!

Topher is a 5-year-old, 67-pound handsome guy who’s ready to find a place to call home. He initially came to us as a stray in late-March of this year and was never reclaimed, so his past is a bit of a mystery. After a couple of weeks in our care, Topher was adopted; however, a month after leaving WCAS, Topher found himself back in our care after his adopter returned him citing that they were moving and could not take him along with to their new home.

During Topher's first visit with us, he participated in a dog introduction with another male dog here at the shelter, and it went well! The two spent their time calmly walking around the play yard together, occasionally checking in with one another. His easygoing and social nature makes him a great candidate for a variety of homes.

Now, Topher is looking for a family to get back to and love forever. Help us learn even more about him by coming in to meet him—you just might find your perfect match.🐱🐶✨

🐾 Eyewitness News Pet of the Week: Meet Rock! 🐾

We're honestly scratching our heads wondering how this handsome guy is still waiting for a home! ❤️

5-year-old Rock has been at WCAS for over a month, and this goofy, lovable pup is more than ready to find his forever ...family. With his adorable ears, hilarious personality, and endless charm, Rock knows how to make everyone around him smile.

Rock was brought to WCAS after being left behind with a family member by his owner and was never reclaimed. Despite the changes in his life, he remains a happy, friendly boy who loves making new friends. At around 47 pounds, he's the perfect medium-sized companion for adventures and couch cuddles alike.

One of Rock's favorite activities is flopping onto the floor and rolling around in hopes of earning some belly rubs. He also loves zooming around the yard, snorting as he explores, and spending time playing with other dogs.

If you're looking for a fun-loving, affectionate companion who will keep you laughing, Rock might just be your perfect match!

👉Thursday, June 11th's ...Paw-some Pick is Reese A0060893900!

Reese is a 2-year-old female cat weighing approximately 10 pounds who came to WCAS as a stray. Unfortunately, no owner came forward to reclaim her, so much of her past remains a mystery.

🌟🐾 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!

👉Wednesday, June 10th's ...Paw-some Pick is Pepper A0060992069!

Pepper is a petite 2-year-old cat weighing just 7 pounds, and she's ready to find a loving forever home.

Pepper came to us as a surrender after being involved in a bite incident in the home. At the time, Pepper was caring for a litter of kittens and, on a couple of occasions, bit her owner while protecting her babies. After completing her required bite quarantine here at WCAS, our team got to know Pepper better and determined that she is an adoption candidate ready for a fresh start.

It's no surprise that Pepper took her job as a mom seriously—many animal mothers become especially protective while caring for their young. Now that her kittens are grown and that chapter of her life is behind her, Pepper is ready to focus on being someone's beloved companion.

Pepper is looking for a family to get back to and love forever. If you're willing to give this devoted little girl a chance, you may just find that beneath her mama-bear instincts is a cat with plenty of love to give.
She can’t wait to meet you, so stop by the shelter during our open hours to meet Pepper and the other pets waiting for their second chance at a forever home. 🐱🐶✨
