👀🚨Do you know any of these dogs?🚨👀

‼️We have over 100 dogs at our facility‼️
We've reached maximum capacity and are urgently hoping to reunite these dogs with their families.

👉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 (Friday 7/10) 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.

🌟🐾 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, July 10th's Paw-some ...Pick is Nala A0060866065!

Nala came to us as a surrender after her owners shared that they had a new baby and could no longer keep her. Shortly after arriving at WCAS, Nala was adopted into what everyone hoped would be her forever home. Unfortunately, after just a few days, Nala was returned when her adopter discovered that while she got along very well with the male dog in the home, she was not a good match for their cat.

Through it all, Nala has remained the same wonderful dog she's always been and is ready to find a family to call her own. While a home with cats may not be the best fit, we know there is a perfect home out there waiting for her.🐱🐶✨

❤Remember Junie???❤

This sweet girl came to Winnebago County Animal Services in late May as a stray. Despite our efforts to find her owner, no one came to reclaim her. Thankfully, her story didn't end there!
In mid-June, Junie found her ...forever home, and just look at her now! 🥰 These wonderful photos from her family say it all—she's settling in beautifully and looks so happy, loved, and right where she belongs.

🐾Junie is one happy girl in her new house! Thank you for her! We are in love!🐾

🌟🐾 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!

👉Thursday, July 9th's Paw-some... Pick is Rock A0060948541!

Rock is a 5-year-old pup weighing 48 pounds who is looking for a loving forever home. Rock came to us as a stray and was never reclaimed by an owner, so his exact background is unknown. What we do know is that this handsome boy is ready for a fresh start and a family to call his own.

While in our care, Rock participated in a dog intro with another dog here at WCAS. Staff noted that Rock was a bit nervous and shy during the interaction, but he remained polite and allowed the other dog to approach and even give him kisses without issue. With a little time and patience, Rock may continue to build confidence and show more of his personality.

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

🐾 Meet Sebastian — WCAS’s Longest-Staying Resident! 🐾
Sebastian came to Winnebago County Animal Services from a welfare case involving multiple dogs living outdoors on chains in the City of Rockford. 💔 Despite everything he's been through, this sweet boy has never stopped ...loving people and hoping for a brighter future.

Today marks 141+ days in the shelter for Sebastian, and while he continues to greet each day with a wagging tail and a goofy smile, he's still waiting for the one thing he deserves most—a family to call his own. 💛

Sebastian is a fun-loving, playful young dog with a big personality and an even bigger heart. Like many young pups, he could benefit from some basic training and consistency, but underneath all that enthusiasm is an incredibly sweet boy who just wants someone to love.

What breaks our hearts most is that Sebastian is now the last dog left from the group that came in together. Every one of his friends has found a home, while Sebastian continues to watch families walk past his kennel day after day, hoping someone will finally choose him.

And honestly? We can't understand why he's still here.
Sebastian absolutely loves other dogs and gains so much confidence from having canine companions around. 🐶💕 He would thrive in a home with a friendly dog buddy (or two!) to help show him the ropes and share in his adventures.

Every day he waits. Every day he hopes. And every day he deserves better than another night in a kennel.

Please share Sebastian's story. One share could be the reason his future family sees him. ❤️
Come meet Sebastian during our open hours and say hello to all of the wonderful adoptable pets waiting for homes.
