‼🎉ADOPTION UPDATE!🎉‼

❤Remember Patches???❤

Patches first came to us as a stray in September of last year and was never reclaimed by an owner. She was eventually adopted, but after just three months, she was returned because her adopter found her too active for their ...lifestyle. Patches was eagerly awaiting a forever home that would match her playful, affectionate personality - and after a month of being back in our care, she got just that!

Patches' adopter reached out with an update and to share these great photos!
🐾We adopted her at the end of February! I couldn’t get her beautiful face off my mind so we came to bring her home where she belongs. She certainly is a ball of wonderful puppy energy! She immediately adjusted to her new forever home and even got a new sister! Ivy was adopted from WCAS in September of 2016. 🐾

👉Friday, May 15th'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.

If you’re ready to open your heart and home, Rajah would love to meet you!

Come visit during our open hours to meet Rajah and other pets ready to find their forever homes.🐱🐶✨

🐾🌸 Meet Macy! 🌸🐾

Macy is a gorgeous mixed breed pup around 8 months old looking for a fresh start and a family to call her own. At just about 48 pounds, she’s the perfect medium-sized companion for adventures, cuddles, and everything in between. 💕

Macy came to ...WCAS after someone brought her into our lobby claiming she was a stray. After checking her microchip, we discovered her owner had left her here. Despite our best efforts, we were unable to reach them, and poor Macy had to spend her stray hold at the shelter.

But through it all, Macy has remained the sweetest girl. 🥺 Though still young, she has such a gentle and loving personality. She can come on a little strong when meeting other dogs at first, but after a few minutes she settles in and makes friends easily. Macy loves soaking up attention, getting pets, and strolling around sniffing the flowers. 🌼🐶

Now all this sweet girl needs is a family willing to give her the happy ending she deserves.

💙💚 The BISSELL Pet Foundation Empty the Shelters Event is STILL going strong through Friday, May 15th! 💚💙
