‼🎉ADOPTION UPDATE!🎉‼

❤Remember Bella???❤

Bella came to us in late May as an owner surrender after her family shared that a new baby had changed their household and they were no longer able to keep her. While saying goodbye was undoubtedly difficult, Bella spent her ...time with us showing everyone what a wonderful companion she is.

During her stay, Bella took on the important role of our Front Office's Pawffice Assistant, bringing plenty of love, smiles, and companionship to the team. After two months of patiently waiting, Bella’s perfect family finally found her!

We’re so excited that Bella Bella has a new home where she’ll be loved, spoiled, and cherished forever. Congratulations, Bella — we’re so happy for you! 🐶❤️

Bella's adopters shared this update and these great photos with us!
🐾We love Bella so much. Thank you for you guys help. She fits in our family perfect and she is such a calm dog. She isn’t bothered by the cat at all and just loves to cuddle - her favorite place is the bed. Her favorite cartoon is Phineas and Ferb❤️ 🐾

✨🙏It's Wishlist Wednesday! 🙏✨

Our model is ❤Mama A0061243221❤ who is currently available for adoption here at WCAS!

Mama is a sweet 1-year-old cat who's ready to find the loving forever home she deserves.

Mama came to Winnebago County Animal ...Services after being surrendered by the individuals who found her. Although they wanted to help, they were unfortunately unable to keep her long-term. Now, through no fault of her own, Mama is searching for a family to call her own.

At just a year old, Mama has her whole life ahead of her. She's looking for a home where she can settle in, enjoy all the comforts of indoor life, and share her love with a family who will cherish her for years to come.

Mama is ready to leave her past behind and begin a new chapter filled with love, cozy naps, and plenty of affection. If you're looking for a wonderful feline companion, Mama may be the perfect addition to your family.

Come meet Mama during our adoption hours and see if she's the missing piece you've been searching for. She can't wait to find the forever home she's been waiting for!

Due to their long time search for a forever home they’re part of the "Lonely Hearts Club" meaning half of their adoption fee has been covered by the WCAS Auxiliary!

🌟🐾 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, August 5th's ...Paw-some Pick is Sprecker A0060873906!

Sprecker is a 1-year-old pup weighing 50 pounds who is ready to find a forever family of his own! Sprecker came to us as a stray and was never reclaimed, so his exact background is unknown. What we do know is that this young guy is full of energy and loves to play.

While in our care, Sprecker participated in a dog intro with another dog here at the shelter. Staff noted that Sprecker came on a little strong at first due to his high-energy personality, but he did not display any inappropriate behavior. Once the two dogs got going, they spent their time playing, roughhousing, and having a blast together in the play yard.🐱🐶✨

🐾🌟 ADOPT 815 PET OF THE WEEK: TEDDY BEAR 🌟🐾
https://www.rockfordnewsfirst.com/2026/08/03/adopt-815-teddy-bear/

Meet Teddy Bear! This handsome 6-year-old gentleman is ready to trade in his rough-and-tumble tomcat days for a life of comfort, love, and luxury.

Teddy ...Bear came to Winnebago County Animal Services after a concerned citizen found him injured on her porch. He had a swollen leg and a few scrapes from life on the streets, but after receiving care from our medical team and plenty of time to heal, he's feeling much better and is ready to find a family of his own.

This sweet boy has a big personality! Teddy Bear loves greeting people as they walk by his cage, chatting for attention, and giving affectionate head butts to anyone willing to stop and say hello. When he's not seeking affection, you'll find him enjoying his favorite toys and rolling around in catnip.

After everything he's been through, Teddy Bear deserves a soft bed, a sunny window, and a family who will cherish him for the rest of his days. Could that family be yours?

Stop by Winnebago County Animal Services and meet Teddy Bear today! ❤️🐱

👀🚨Do you know any of these dogs (or this chicken)?🚨👀

‼️We took in 32 dogs since Friday and currently have over 100 dogs at our facility‼️
Our dog kennels are currently at maximum capacity - we 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 (Monday 8/3) 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, August 3rd's Paw-some... Pick is Colette A0061023518!

Colette is a 3-year-old, 46-pound dog who came to WCAS as a stray and was never reclaimed by an owner. Because her history before arriving at the shelter is unknown, we're still learning about her personality and what makes her unique.

One thing we've already discovered is that Colette enjoys the company of other dogs. During a dog introduction with another female dog, she responded well to correction and showed appropriate social behavior. As she became more comfortable, Colette even initiated play, giving staff a glimpse of her fun-loving side.

While we may not know much about Colette's past, we'd love your help discovering her future. The best way to get to know her is to come meet her in person and see if she's the right fit for your family and lifestyle.🐱🐶✨
