✨🙏It's Wishlist Wednesday! 🙏✨

Our model is ❤Babygirl A0059928386❤ who is currently available for adoption & is the Official Pawffice Assistant here at WCAS!

Babygirl is a 2-year-old, 60-pound pup who came to us as a stray and was never reclaimed, so her ...exact background is unknown—but her personality is already shining through!

Babygirl is now looking for a family to get back to and love forever. Come meet her during our open hours and see if this playful, sweet girl might be the perfect addition to your home!

🌟🐾 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, February 11th's ...Paw-some Pick is Scooby A0059228682!

Scooby is a 1-year-old, 58-pound pup who first came to WCAS as a stray in August 2025. After a short stay, he was reunited with his owner. Just a few months later, Scooby returned to WCAS — this time as an owner surrender after his owner shared they didn’t have enough time to care for him. His previous owner did share that Scooby lived in a home with children (5yrs, 13yrs, and 19yrs), and noted that, in addition to children, Scooby does well with dogs and cats as well.
Since coming back into our care, Scooby has shown us his easygoing side. He recently participated in a dog introduction that went well! Scooby was laid-back and low energy during the interaction, showing more interest in calmly exploring the play yard alongside the other dog than in rough-and-tumble play.
Scooby is now hoping for a family who can offer him the time, stability, and love he deserves — and a place where he can finally settle in for good.
If you’re looking for a sweet, relaxed companion to add to your home, Scooby may be your perfect match.🐶✨

🎥🐾 Scooby was WIFR TVs Pet of the Week with Maggie Polsean! 🐾🎥
Meet Scooby! And yes… he does answer to snacks like his cartoon namesake. 🦴😉

Scooby first came to WCAS as a stray in August of 2025 and was reclaimed by his owner after a few days. Sadly, just a few ...months later, he found himself back at WCAS—this time as an owner surrender after his family shared they didn’t have enough time to dedicate to him. His previous owner told us Scooby lived with children (ages 5, 13, and 19) and does well with dogs and cats—so no mystery there, he’s a good boy all around!

Here at the shelter, Scooby continues to show off his friendly personality. He does well meeting other pups and everyone he encounters, rides great in the car, and hops right in, ready to solve the next case (or go on an adventure). Scooby is working on his manners, especially jumping up to say hello, but he’s very food motivated, so training should be a breeze. Zoinks! Could you be the one to give this special 2-year-old pup his happily ever after? 💙

🌟🐾 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, February 10th's ...Paw-some Pick is Dharma A0060078689!

Dharma is a 2-year-old, 74-pound sweetheart who came to us as a stray and was never reclaimed, so her full story is a bit of a mystery. What isn’t a mystery, though, is her love for other dogs!
While in our care, Dharma completed a dog introduction with another pup and the two hit it off right away — breaking into playful wrestling and zooming around the play yard together. It was clear she was having a blast and enjoying the company.
Dharma is looking for a home where she can continue to stretch her legs, enjoy playtime, and build strong bonds — whether that’s with a canine sibling or her future people. If you’re looking for a fun, social dog who’s ready for her next chapter, Dharma may be your girl.

🎉🎉 Last week, Winnebago County Animal Services helped 35 pets find adoptive families! This included 10 cats and 25 dogs!🎉🎉

For more information on adoptable pets, please visit our website at
www.winnebagoanimals.org.

👀🚨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 are open today (Monday 2/9) 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.
