‼🎉ADOPTION UPDATE!🎉‼

❤Remember Torino???❤

Torino came to WCAS as a stray and was never reclaimed by an owner. Luckily, Torino was quickly adopted during last week's Construction Sale Dog Adoption Event!

Torino's adopters reached out with an update ...and these fantastic photos!
🐾Torino has settled in quickly with our family. He is very gentle with the kids, loving, cuddly, and very well mannered. This home will surely make sure he thrives and is the healthiest version of himself for the rest of his life. We adore him as much as he adores us.🐾

👉Interested in creating your own adoption story? We have lots of amazing dogs & cats available for adoption!

🌟🐾 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 14th's ...Paw-some Pick is Mia A0060686445!

Mia is a 2-year-old, 7-pound petite kitty with a sweet spirit and so much love to give. She came to us as an owner surrender due to a decline in her owner’s health—through no fault of her own.

Mia is now ready to start her next chapter with a family who can give her the stability, comfort, and affection she deserves. With her small size and gentle nature, she’s sure to make a wonderful companion in the right home.

If you’re looking for a loving feline friend, Mia could be the perfect match for you.

Come meet Mia during our open hours and see if she’s the one for you. She—and many other amazing pets—can’t wait to find their forever homes!🐱🐶✨

🌳🐾 Adopt 815 Pet of the Week: Meet Birch! 🐾🌳
https://www.wifr.com/2026/04/13/adopt-815-meet-birch-2/

This petite little lady has quite the story to tell. Birch came to us alongside 10 other kitties, each named after trees, after being found in an abandoned home. Sadly, they... were all very sick due to the harsh living conditions, but thanks to dedicated care and lots of love, Birch is now healthy and ready to find her fur-ever home 💚

Birch may be a bit shy in her kennel, but don’t let that fool you! She warms up quickly with some gentle pets and soon shows off her sweet, affectionate personality 🐱 She’s also a vocal girl who loves to chat once she’s comfortable!

Having lived with many other cats, Birch would likely thrive in a home with a feline friend (or two!) to keep her company 🌿

If you’re looking for a loving companion who just needs a little patience to shine, Birch might be your perfect match 🏡

Come meet Birch and all of our adoptable pets at Winnebago County Animal Services, or check them out online!

Adopt 815: Meet ‘Birch’

🎉🐾 We Appreciate Our ACOs! 🐾🎉

This week, we’re proud to honor our Animal Services Officers during National Animal Control Officer Appreciation Week. They are a dedicated group of professionals working in challenging, sometimes difficult conditions to serve both animals and ...people in our community every single day. 💛

We’d also like to highlight that our ACOs have recently seen an increase in successfully reuniting lost pets with their families right in the field—and one of the biggest reasons for that success is microchipping!

👉 Making sure your pet is microchipped and that your contact information is up to date can make all the difference in getting them home quickly and safely.

If you see our officers out and about, be sure to give them a shoutout for the incredible work they do! 🐾👏

🏡 Another Amazing Week of Adoptions! 🏡

Last week was incredible at Winnebago County Animal Services — 28 pets found their forever homes! ❤️

🐱 5 cats
🐶 23 dogs

Even more exciting, 19 dogs from our Construction Sale Adoption Event are now living their ...best lives with loving families! 🏡💛

We are so grateful to our amazing community for showing up, supporting, and choosing adoption. You truly make all the difference!

Thinking about adding a furry friend to your family? Take a look at our adoptable pets:
👉 www.winnebagoanimals.org

Every adoption saves a life. 🐾❤️

👀🚨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 4/13) 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.

🌟🐾 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!

👉Monday, April 13th's Paw-some... Pick is Dill A0060673854!

Dill is a 6-year-old, 12-pound gentleman with a gentle presence and plenty of love to give. He came to us as a stray and was never reclaimed, so his past is a bit of a mystery—but he’s ready to focus on finding a warm, loving home.

Since being in our care, Dill has been settling in and showing us glimpses of his personality. He’s looking for a family who will give him the time and space to feel comfortable and truly come into his own.

If you’re looking for a sweet companion to share your home with, Dill could be the perfect match.
Help us get to know Dill by coming in to meet him—you might just find your new best friend!🐱🐶✨

🐾🚧What an Incredible Outcome!🚧🐾

We’re thrilled to share that 19 out of the 21 dogs featured in our Construction Sale Adoption Event found their forever homes!
💛🐶
(This total includes our two Paw-some Picks - Queen B/Princess & Samantha)

This ...amazing result wouldn’t have been possible without the wonderful adopters who opened their hearts and homes, as well as our dedicated staff and volunteers who worked tirelessly to make these matches happen!

With construction on our dog kennels beginning tomorrow, these adoptions came at the perfect time. Thanks to this incredible community support, we’re now able to comfortably care for the dogs still with us while we clear and prepare the spaces undergoing upgrades.

Thank you for showing up for these dogs and helping us set them (and us!) up for success. 🐾✨

We’re SO excited to share that Samantha has officially gone home!
❤️We couldn’t be happier to see her start her next chapter with a loving family!!!

📣A huge thank you to everyone who’s been liking, ...commenting, and sharing our Paw-some Pick of the Day posts — your support truly helps our animals get seen and find homes faster. Every share makes a difference!

👉Monday's Paw-some Pick will be announced tomorrow night, so be sure to keep an eye out!!!
