🌟🐾 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!

👉Tuesday, April 28th's ...Paw-some Pick is Snow A0060754223!

Snow is a 6-month-old pup weighing about 27 pounds who is full of energy, curiosity, and affection. She came to WCAS following two bite incidents in her previous home involving children during rambunctious play. In both cases, Snow became overly mouthy and broke skin. She completed her required bite quarantine with us and was not reclaimed by her owner.

Since then, our team has spent time getting to know Snow, and she’s shown us what a fun, friendly, and engaging young dog she truly is. Snow loves interacting with staff, thrives on attention, and brings a lot of playful energy wherever she goes. She also successfully completed a dog introduction with another young female dog and did great—showing she can be a good canine companion.

Like many puppies her age, Snow is still learning appropriate play behaviors and would benefit from continued basic training, especially around mouthy play and boundaries. Because of her history, a home without young children or with experienced dog owners who can help guide her training would be the best fit for her success.

Snow is now ready to find a committed family who will invest in her growth and give her the structure, patience, and love she needs to thrive. In return, she’ll offer companionship, fun, and a whole lot of personality.

If you’re looking for a lively, loving pup and are ready to help her become her best self, Snow would love to meet you!🐱🐶✨

👀🚨Do you know any of these dogs?🚨👀

We would love to reunite these dogs with their families!
Can you help us find their families? Each animal's Intake Date & Location Found is include in their photo's caption.

👉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 (Monday 4/27) until 7pm.

👉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.

👉Monday, April 27th's Paw-some... Pick is Tucci A0060746525!

At just 3 years old and a petite 6 pounds, Tucci is a charming little companion with a whole lot of love to give. Tucci came to us after their previous owner was no longer able to keep them due to having too many pets—a tough change, but one that’s opened the door for a fresh start.

Now, Tucci is ready to find a forever home where they can settle in, be adored, and return that love tenfold. Whether it’s lounging nearby, keeping you company, or simply being a calm and comforting presence, Tucci is ready to be your new best friend.

If you’re looking for a sweet, easygoing addition to your home, Tucci would love to meet you!🐱🐶✨

👉Saturday, April 25th's ...Paw-some Pick is Benzo A0058851855!

Benzo is a 2-year-old, 58-pound handsome pup with a calm and friendly demeanor. He came to us as a stray and was never reclaimed, so his past is a bit of a mystery—but he’s been showing us what a sweet companion he can be during his time here.

While in our care, Benzo participated in a dog introduction with another dog at the shelter. Staff noted that he had a lower energy level during the interaction, but was very friendly and interested in the other dog, taking his time to engage in a relaxed and positive way.

Benzo is looking for a forever home where he can feel comfortable, loved, and continue to come out of his shell. If you’re searching for a more easygoing companion, Benzo could be a great fit for your family.🐱🐶✨

👉Friday, April 24th's Paw-some... Pick is Rajah A0060283821!

Rajah is a 3-year-old, 31-pound pup who’s ready for a fresh start and a forever home. He recently came into our care due to a change in his previous living situation, and now he’s looking for a safe, stable place where he can truly thrive.

Since being with us, Rajah has been showing us his gentle and thoughtful personality. During a dog introduction here at the shelter, staff noted that he was a bit nervous at first, but he worked through it and approached the other dog for interaction. The two spent their time calmly walking around the play yard together and exploring their surroundings side by side.

Rajah is now looking for a family who will give him the time, patience, and encouragement he needs to continue building confidence and settling into home life.🐱🐶✨
