🌟🐾 Paw-some Pick of the Day! 🐾🌟

We’re shining the spotlight on our pets with something special: each day, one amazing pet is featured as our Paw-some Pick of the Day — and for that day only, their adoption fee is waived!

👉Tuesday, June 30th's Paw-some Pick... is Edna A0061008621!

Edna is a 2-year-old pup weighing 69 pounds who is ready to find a loving forever home. Edna came to us as a stray and was never reclaimed by an owner, so her exact background is unknown. What we do know is that she’s a friendly girl who is ready for a fresh start and a family to call her own.

While in our care, Edna completed a dog intro with another female dog here at the shelter. Staff noted that the introduction went very well, with both dogs displaying loose, happy body language and wagging tails. The pair spent their time together playing in the yard and enjoying each other's company.

Help us get to know Edna by meeting with her and seeing if she could be the right fit for your family! She’s hoping to leave shelter life behind and start her next chapter with people who will love her forever.🐱🐶✨

‼🚨More Pets are Lost on 4th of July Than Any Other Time of Year🚨‼

While our country celebrates its independence, this time of year can be a frightening time for pets. The noise caused by fireworks can cause dogs and cats to go to great lengths to escape their house, fenced yard, ...or even a leash. This is why more lost pets end up in animal shelters on this holiday than any other time of the year.

👉Take a look at our website resource for suggestions on how to help you and your pet celebrate the holiday together without anxiety.

👉Monday, June 29th's Paw-some ...Pick is Zeppelin A0061047639!

Zeppelin is a handsome 60-pound pup who is looking for a loving forever home. He came to us as a stray and was never reclaimed by an owner, so his exact background is unknown. What we do know is that Zeppelin is ready to leave shelter life behind and start his next chapter with a family of his own.

While in our care, Zeppelin participated in a dog intro with another dog here at the shelter. Staff noted that Zeppelin was the lower-energy of the pair, but he was very tolerant and patient with the other dog's more energetic play style. The interaction went well, and Zeppelin showed that he can be a calm and easygoing companion.

Like many dogs, Zeppelin has experienced some anxiety in the busy kennel environment. The sights, sounds, and constant activity of shelter life can be overwhelming, and our team is looking forward to seeing him settle into the calm, comfort, and predictability of a home. We suspect there's even more of Zeppelin's personality waiting to shine once he's able to relax and decompress.

Help us get to know Zeppelin by meeting with him and seeing if he could be the right fit for your family! He can't wait to meet you, so stop by the shelter during our open hours to meet Zeppelin and the other pets waiting for their second chance at a forever home.🐱🐶✨

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!

👉Saturday, June 27th's ...Paw-some Pick is Lolli A0055258846!

At 4 years old and 63 pounds, Lolli is a sweet, playful girl who is hoping her next adoption will truly be forever.
Lolli first came to WCAS as a stray in February 2024 and was never reclaimed by an owner. After spending a few months in our care, she found a home and was adopted. Unfortunately, two years later, Lolli found herself back at WCAS once again as a stray. Despite efforts to reunite her with her adopter, no one came forward to reclaim her.

Through all of life's unexpected turns, Lolli has remained a friendly and social dog. Since returning to the shelter, she successfully completed a dog introduction with another dog. Staff noted that both dogs were excited to meet one another and quickly initiated play, enjoying a fun and positive interaction together.

Lolli is ready to leave shelter life behind and find a family that will love her through all of life's chapters. She has already experienced the heartbreak of losing a home twice, but she hasn't lost her hopeful spirit. With her playful personality and affectionate nature, Lolli is ready to be someone's loyal companion once again.

If you're looking for a dog who is eager to share adventures, playtime, and plenty of love, come meet Lolli. She can't wait to find the family she's been waiting for and start her happily-ever-after.🐱🐶✨

👉Friday, June 26th'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.

Once the two dogs got going, they spent their time playing, roughhousing, and having a blast together in the play yard.

Sprecker is looking for a family that can help channel his playful energy while giving him the love, guidance, and fun he deserves. Help us get to know Sprecker by meeting with him and seeing if he could be the right fit for your family! 🐱🐶✨

👉Thursday, June 25th's ...Paw-some Pick is Scoots A0060985352!

At 4 years old and 13 pounds, Scoots has already overcome quite a bit and is now ready to find a home of his own.
When Scoots arrived at the shelter as a stray in mid-May, our medical team discovered that he had superficial wounds across his body. To help him heal, staff developed a treatment plan and closely monitored his progress over the following weeks. Thanks to the dedication of our medical team and Scoots' resilience, he has made a full recovery and has been medically cleared for adoption.

Because Scoots came to us as a stray and was never reclaimed, much of his past remains a mystery. What we do know is that he's a survivor who deserves the chance to experience the comfort, safety, and love of a forever home.

Now that his healing journey is behind him, Scoots is ready to start the next chapter of his life. The best way to get to know him is to come meet him in person and see if he's the right fit for your family. Every cat has a unique personality, and Scoots is eager to show you his.

Help Scoots trade shelter life for a place to call home. He can't wait to meet you! Stop by during our open hours and meet Scoots and the many other pets waiting for their second chance.🐱🐶✨
